Me!
Egad, have I been inconsistent or WHAT? I totally suck at blogging. Good thing I never had any silly aspirations about being a professional blogger or anything. I'd starve to death. For reals.
So here's a recap of the past month. (Month! What have I been doing that I haven't had 4 minutes to write???)
- Glutes still hurt. Bah. But they're nowhere near as bad as they were. I have been stretching like a mofo, using the dreaded foam roller, and doing my cool glute-activating lunges whenever I remember to do them. (Note to self: do cool glute-activating lunges tonight at the Y.)
- Training has been The Suck. My biking has been fine; I feel more comfortable and confident on the bike, and my training has been fairly consistent. I can't say the same for my swimming and running, however.
- I went back to yoga last week for the first time in forevah! and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
- I have switched from the Olympic distance to the sprint for my September race. Most. Expensive. Sprint. EVER. $160 for a freaking sprint (since you know as well as I do that I won't be offered any money back for making the switch!). Holy hell. I'd better fucking win the thing. Or at least get a cool tech shirt.
- Spent a glorious, sun-filled week at the shore and got tan. Really tan. Like, my skin was darker than my hair by the end of the week. Now that's a successful vacation!
- I weighed the same at the end of vacation as I did at the beginning. Again, success!
- Of course, that weight is not where I want it to be, but at least I didn't come home a complete fatass!
- Work is insanely busy, partly because of the week off but mostly because I have a demanding, busy job. Luckily, I love it.
- As a hard training day as well as a practice race (and to see how hard I can push at the tri in September), I signed up for a Plunge & Run this weekend. Swim 400 meters and then run 5K. The run will hurt. A lot. Should be interesting! And by interesting, I mean painful and humbling.
More to come! I promise it won't be another month.

I kinda suck at blogging too.
The "Plunge & Run" sounds like fun!!
Oh, I totally want to do a plunge and run, that sounds awesome! They tried to pull an event like that together at our local community center, but you were supposed to swim in the "lake" which no one had ever swam in before - EVER...which really was not a lake but just some water near the community center....sorry I digress.
Hope you win that Sprint Tri! At least you got to do it! I signed up for 2 this year I couldn't do at all...talk about a big fat punch in the pocket book.
We're weird as endurance athletes the way we combine sports into one. I mean you never hear about the tire changing/spelling bee, or the pie making/welding competition ... although that would be kind of awesome.
I would say "I look forward to your next blog" but it won't happen for half a birthday. So, um ... have a good one.
Ouch, $160 for a sprint is steep! Maybe you can stuff a backpack full of food afterward :-).
I would plunge but dont care to run, they call those splash and dash here
