I just have to give a shout out to my daughter (in-law) Boo, married to my #2 son. She along with 3 of her 5 sisters, her mom and a niece competed in a triathlon in St. George, Utah last Saturday. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL. I am soooo impressed. Go here to read about it and see her photos. Very, very impressive. If this isn't motivating I don't know what is.
Makes my little 2 miler seem down-right piddly. I think I want to look into this more and see what I might be able to do to get in shape to compete. Oh right, I'd need a bike, a swimsuit I can fit into, shoes, drop 30 lbs. just to begin with. Boo, can you give us some insight into your training please? And I think I really want to hear from Sue and what her training regimen was. Doesn't hurt to learn.
It's worth sharing that I have an extra perk when I'm using the "solar drier" these days due to my wall of jasmine blooming!!! It's aroma heaven.
I've started a batch of pinto beans with ham hocks and onion in my hand-me-down dutch oven so dinner will be ready whenever we get to it tonight. I love dutch ovens. I need to get out and get my cell phone either fixed or replaced and then I get to attend the Relief Society scripture study group tonight. What a great way to wrap up the day with sisters studying scriptures. I'm feeling blessed.
Skippie humor: After my boastful blogs of my flower pots Cousin Skippie emailed me her photos. I always love a good laugh. In case you don't know, she really has the Geiss Thumb, it's just too early in Oregon for her to be able to brag. Thanks for the fun Cousin and your grass looks beautiful.

The boys will be so sad about Kirby's leg. Another love to pray for.
On the training, I swim with a group and coach 3 mornings a week, I ran 2 miles around the track at least twice a week (I needed much more!), and of course, I bike at least 4 times a week (the training was done mostly on my bike trainer, with the weather and all). My madre was swimming a few times a week, biking a lot around the back bay, and along with her daily Island walk, would jog about a mile up and down Bayside. Awesome huh?
A-very awesome!! Would you please tell me the length of swim, bike and jog at your St. George event...and is that event typical of all? Hope you see this.
Thanks Mary Sue, Did you find out whats wrong with you dog?
A-Just letting him rest his leg about a week in case it's a strain. Think I might end up at the vet though.
