uhm agility?

yeah...i don't have that...friday morning run workout is "new"...well new to me...i have been looking forward to going to this workout since it was added to the t3 schedule several months ago...but at the time...friday was my off day...and i was not about to add another workout...when i was already doing yoga on my off day...and catching up on homework, and laundry and groceries and...yeah...so...i was totally stoked for the workout...and was super happy with it...it was tough and fast and my heart rate was up and i was sweaty...and you know what that felt great...really really great....

the weather has been so up and down lately...like monday...i went to run practice in the evening wearing running tights, under armor short sleeves, long sleeved tech shirt, a fleece vest, a hoodie and another light fleece on top of that...a hat and gloves...seriously...and i had a pair of sweat pants on for core work before...and friday...shorts and a t-shirt...and i was hot and sweaty...anyway...we (four of us) did a lot of speed and agility work...working on the little muscles that don't get worked running in a straight line...i knocked down a cone at one point...not knowing that when this happens you get to do push ups...oops...but hey...maybe i can actually get stronger in the upper body this way...hmm...

so between these sets of drills we were running 5k pace laps on the track...oi!...the fog was thick...it was creepy and cool...i tried to work on my stride length and my arms...and occasionally knees and butt kick feelings...i still have a lot to work on but i am feeling that i am doing some stuff right some of the time...anyway...great workout...love that all of the 4 run workouts that i am doing a week are different from each other...a lot different from each other...

the rest of the day i started going through all of the food magazines that have piled up over the last 6 months that i have just not had anytime to read or comprehend...ripping out recipes and reading some of the more interesting articles...then i installed flash on the lil lenovo...to watch some alton brown...i love his show...and would love to have his job...anyway...watched a few episodes to get an idea about a few things...and watched one where is baked a whole fish in a salt crust....looked so good...i know totally unappealing to j...so would have to maybe do it for a dinner party...where we also had brisket or something else that he would like...

then friday evening was T3 ladies night at Laura's condo...a very modern and cool and hip place in south austin...she had tons of wine and beer and food...i brought some cup cakes...double chocolate espresso cupcakes...vegan all the way...but you would never know...yum...we decided a lot of things...(well maybe the wine did)...we need to do these things more often...it felt amazing to be in a room full of women...who i really only see at practice...getting to know who they are outside of triathlon...it was refreshing...and i learned that my friend erin w can do magic....so cool...very excited to see more...maybe we can trade cooking lessons for magic shows...

home not too late...to make sure j was feeling ok...not sure what he's got...but i know part of it is looking forward to a few days off next week...and hoping that he is able to take some of that time to be out in the yard...tinkering...and relaxing...he needs it just about the most out of anyone i know...yeah weekend

oh yeah....and i got my school grades...well on-line anyway...four A's and one B (chem of course...curses)
