KISS


When you have a first kiss what are you thinking? Maybe excited, maybe thinking its no big deal maybe too drunk to realize your lips are touching that stranger's on the dance floor. Do you ever think it will bring you 3 years later reminiscing about it? Maybe kisses aren't all that big of a deal. Think about how many people in your life you have kissed. I'm not sure all my past lip locks were all that special or memorable. And what about last kisses. Personally i think they are the worst because you usually don't realize that it is in fact your last kiss with that person. Perhaps I should kiss like it's my last all the time. Carpe Diem. Live each day like it's my last.

I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.

WANNA GET ON TOP?

Day Two and I'm having a hard time easing back into the swing of things...i can't seem to break my ANTM addiction (i'm on cycle 6 right now), and I still wonder what that strange noise is in the morning waking me up. In addition to taking in some art during the break I also created some of my own.

This week promises to be full of meetings, classes, meetings, volleyball,running, clinical, studying...today after one meeting and before volleyball aimester and i ventured out for a delicious dinner at East (on Queen st West) - I sooo need to take a day sometime soon and shop til i drop there! After dinner 'twas volleyball time! AND we won our last game of the season! WOOT WOOT!
I should be finding out my final mark from acute care next week and I'm starting to get a little nervous about it...I think I need to go find myself some new long socks to pull up. preferably over the knee.
Soon I'll settle into bed beside snowydawg and close my pretty blues and dream beautiful things.
Nighteroo.

"So when are you going to do the real Triathlon?"



In need of some motivation for my winter training to keep me from eating nothing but jujubes and sitting on my ass watching Grey's reruns all season I've set a 'courageous goal' for myself. (xc girls, you know what i'm talking about)Courageous my ass! Courageous is jumping out of a moving plane! But anyways, i've set a goal for myself for the summer. I've done the marathon (and will continue to run it and hopefully qualify for boston someday but that's a whole other long story)and i've done triathlons. How about lets combine them!!
Since my first triathlon @ Parlee Beach in 2002 (where I spent 2 weeks prior teaching myself to swim!) until now I've competed in 8 Sprint Tris and 1 Olympic. And now I think I am ready to tackle the 1/2 IRONMAN. 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run (1/2 marathon) ....for a total of 70.3miles (hence the reason it's called the 70.3 series). I have been going with the Running Room Marathon Clinic to keep up my endurance, and I've been putting in extra laps at the pool (although the calm clear pool water is nothing compared to the frenzy arm/leg grabbing, face kicking, huge wave, freezing cold, dirty water you get in a real race...). I just need it to warm up so I can put on my shorty shorts and pink jersey and hop on the bicyclette!
I'm hoping for the September 2nd race in NB. If I survive this race I might start thinking about the 'real' full Ironman, but right now a 16-20 hour race does not look tempting at all! Until last year I was perfectly content with my Sprint Distance, but I suppose we always want bigger, better, longer, harder...and really...

"There's nothing halfway about 70.3"

PS. I did shitty on the test I thought I rocked which made me grumpy, but aimee reminded me that I shouldn't care b/c I'm rockin my new hair!
