Saturday Summary

Decision made. My registration for the Dash-Splash-Push Tri went out in the mail today. Woot!!

Sore and sleepy after six mile easy run (Garmin says 11:16 pace). I was hoping to swim this afternoon, but took a nap instead. Oops. Guess I'm swimming tomorrow instead.

Went bathing suit shopping for our trip and totally surprised myself by choosing a bikini (gasp!). As bikini's go, it's fairly modest, but it's been a long time since I've considered wearing one in public. Seriously. I don't even wear a normal bathing suit at the gym. Instead, I usually wear my favorite sports top and tri shorts (which is going with me on vacation, I might add, because it is perfect for snorkelling). I'm chalking this new bravery up to all the abs work and time at the gym.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

  1. Go you! I'd be happy to wear a bikini if it came with a knee length skirt (can you tell where my body issues are? LOL)

  8. Yay for the Splash-Dash-Push (I think I did that wrong, but you know what I mean!) It sounds like a blast!

    Yay! For bikinis on vacation! Your ab work has paid off and now it is time to enjoy the benefits! I LOVE snorkeling! Funny for someone that hates to swim as much as I do, but i can stare at the fishies all day long! Have fun!

  13. How funny, I bought my first bikini in many years yesterday. I'm not sure it will see the light of the beach, but it's extra motivation.

    Enjoy the splash and dash!
