Bits and pieces for today…
I ordered two small posters of my photo alphabet from zazzle.com. We’ll see how they look. I ordered some note cards from them as Christmas presents and they turned out very well, so hopefully the posters will turn out similarly.
It’s one of those gray days that makes you want to do nothing but curl up in bed with a book and maybe a cup of something hot. Seriously. It’s just drab outside. Hasn’t even rained that hard. Just dull, flat gray.
Had dinner at La Madeleine last night. Man, I do love their tomato basil soup. I slurp it up happily and just don’t think about how many calories are in it. It’s so good. Along with that, I had their spinach salad which is also very good. We went late, and they must have been trying to finish off their supply for the day, because I got a huge mound of spinach. Seriously, I think I got at least a bag’s worth. Lots and lots o’ spinach.
Anybody know how to replicate this vintage photo effect in Photoshop? I love it.
I haven’t run since the Charlotte Half Marathon. I haven’t been on the bike or in the pool since the Half Ironman. It’s official: I’ve fallen off the wagon. This is a familiar place to be, as it’s happened after every big event. Fortunately I have people waiting to pick me up. I just have to make myself available. Yuri’s Night is over. Class is over for the semester and won’t pick up again until August. I have no more excuses.
The Combat Triathlon is coming up on May 26. I may also do Silverlake on May 20. Time to get ready for these shorter races, and quit languishing in the aftermath of the Half Ironman.
The week’s plan:
Tonight – trainer ride (since it’s raining)
Tomorrow – pool
Friday – off
Saturday – bike/run brick with Buzz and company
Sunday – “long” run of 5-6 miles
In the coming weeks I will likely make appearances at two local 5Ks — the Village Fair 5K on May 5 and the Summer Kickoff 5K on May 12, both down here in League City. Hope to see you there!
