Random swamped-ness
I am both literally (the rains are never ending this spring) and figuratively (fending off motions for preliminary injunction, to compel, and a sweet little motion for sanctions) swamped these days. As a result training suffers, although the weather conditions aren't helping either. No time for regular posting, but how about some random thoughts from the last 2 weeks:
(1) I've got my second sore throat of the last 4 weeks. I swear it is from swimming in the murky pool on Tuesday.
(2) I had fun at a 5K last Sunday (6/4/06), didn't finish last, and improved my pace from my last race by almost 30 seconds. Still much improvement to be had, but some progress is encouraging!
(3) Made homemade chicken soup tonight, with lime, garlic, hot sauce, and brown rice. I hope it helps the throat!
(4) Lara bars. They taste terrific, and I love that there is no added sugar. But all that fat (12-18gms/bar). I know its nuts, and good fats, but it makes me nervous for some strange reason.
(5) I think the braids might be going. My hair is getting too long to be manageable.
(6) Baby Ian is almost 11 pounds already!!!
(7) LOVE my MP3, and being able to play with music. Who knew I'd enjoy running with the Peas *and* Bruce in the same mix!
(8) I'm not prepared for the P2P ride, so I'm back to considering the Webster Lake tri for June. Who knows what the water temps will be like though, given the weather and the rain. Heading to Webster to ride the course on Sunday 6/18, and if I can make it up the hill without killing myself (or puking), I'll race the next week.

You HAVE to do Webster.
Aren't 5K's fun? After running a couple of triathlons, 5K's are downright cute.
I have a friend who swears by Chinese hot and sour soup when he gets a sore throat. Maybe that would help. Myself, I down lots of new Mexican green chili sauce.
Hey there,
A little while back I blogged about this post on ThisNext.com (check it out at http://blog.thisnext.com/blog/lara-bar-love.html). ThisNext recently started a month-long private beta and I'd love to invite you to come to the site and make a list of your favorite fitness and health products (and any other products you love).
Clicking this link will get you into your account: http://www.thisnext.com/invitation/3119-0593-4263. It’s a one-time URL that’s only for you, so it can’t be shared.
Once you sign up, you can get started on making a list of your favorite products and telling everybody why you love them – just like Hans Rey has done here: http://www.thisnext.com/list/B3415DD3/How-I-Gear-Up. After your list is made, you can see what other likeminded members are recommending for you. It’s a perfect way to great product recommendations from a community of people whose interests, tastes, and values are in sync with your own.
ThisNext will also help you attract more traffic, since your list will link to your blog.
One small favor: We’re asking the bloggers that we invite to please NOT post about the project until our public launch in August. We’ll let you know when.
Hope to see you around the ThisNext neighborhood. Please let us know how the site’s working for you - we’re still working on it!
Thanks,
Liz
P.S. Don’t hesitate to email me any questions! (lizbarker77@gmail.com)
