Rare Spottings

This just in: Wooly Mammoths are not extinct. I spotted one today. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, "no you did not Katie." Well, I am telling you right now, yes I did.
He was at Fitrec tonight between the hours of 9:15 and 9:30 in lane seven - the one right next to mine. My first thought was, "my god who let the Walrus out of the zoo."
Then I thought, "oh wait this is rare where is my camera...."
And then I came to my senses and realized it was a real live man, and not a neanderthal, because that thought crossed my mind too.

So then I HAD to pick the ONLY lane open, the one right next to his (I wonder why.) So I got an up close and personal view of, well, everything.
Not that chest and back hair isn't the most attractive thing I've ever seen in the world (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit)...and especially when it covers a body with a BMI of around 30? Oh please break me off a piece of that.
The best part? He left little, actually, none, to the imagination in his little Speedo ensemble.
Somebody should also inform him floating around in the pool for fifteen minutes will not make him in any better shape than before he ate that Big Mac.
It will just make me incredibly paranoid about getting a chest hair stuck in my teeth.

Another rare spotting today: Katie feeling pretty damn good at track practice.
I'm so sore from the week I can't sit comfortably or climb the five flights to class, I love that feeling. Feel the lactic acid burn!
Today my sprints were faster than last week - yessss =) Finally a little improvement in the that area, I've been waiting for that for a while.
So at practice I only wanted to kill myself a little bit...as opposed to practically throwing myself in front of the Varsity sprinters or off the track or into a trash can....


love love love,
me

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

A Near Miss

I may have spoken too soon when I said that Kirkwood library was my spot. Here I am comfortably doing my speech-pathology work when out of nowhere: We took the square route of this and put it here and here and put it there and there.  My ears tuned in and I raised my head. I sniffed the air and suspiciously scanned the area. Yep. Math. Immediately I broke out in a sweat. Hands started shaking. Eyes twitched. Jaw clenched and neck twisted. Vomit literally came up my esophagus. Pavlov conditioning in it's purest form.  So this times this gives you this and this times this gives you that.  Focus, Katie. Hmm....a 2 year old with hearing loss who is struggling with some final consonant deletion, some stopping of fricatives, some devoicing? Now that, I am good at.... Now do you see inside your parenthesis that there is a difference of squares? No I don't see, lady. That past is long behind me and I'm never going back.  Right now I'm transcribing, identifying ...

First mountain bike ride = SUCCESS! Rex and I rode 18 miles this morning. We did the Logan river trail for about 14 then we rode around town stopping into some bike shops looking at pedals and mountain biking shoes. It'll be a few weeks before I actually buy a pair but I want to get an idea of what's out there - just like road cycling, clipless pedals change everything. With regular pedals, the rider can only get movement forward by pushing down. With clipless pedals, the rider's foot is attached to the bike so you can push down and pull up, which makes climbing and accelerating completely different. I absolutely love my pedals on Mr. Mac so Rex should have a pair, too. The ride was awesome though. The thing I like about mountain biking is that it's a nice blend between trail running and road cycling. You get to the distance of cycling but you get to be close with nature like you do running. It's absolutely perfect. I even had my very first crash today! I w...
