Sprint Triathlon

So, I ran my first marathon at 50! Now, I need a new challenge. So, I've decided to take on the triathlon. For anyone who doesn't know what that entails it's a swim, bike, run - in that order.

A friend told me she's going to do a sprint triathlon and I was like, "What's that?"

So, she explained it to me.

It's not a super-fast triathlon (which is what it sounded like to me) maybe I think like a runner...a sprint is ... well anyway, it's a short distance tri. And, I thought, hey that sounds like a good way to train for an Olympic Triathlon.

Now, I don't know where they come up with these names but an Olympic Triathlon doesn't mean you're training for the Olympics - it's just a distance that's ascribed to the event, much like the sprint not being a sprint but a distance. Anyway, I digress (again).

Anyway, (again) I thought I'd share a site that tells people a little bit more about sprint tris: so if you, like me, are training for a tri...look here to find out more.

Writing Tip for Tuesday

Free-tiques going on over at the Writing for Children and Teens website. It's a fun Red Light - Green Light Game and everyone ends up with a critique...plus you can help our furry friends along the way too.

If you're interested in getting some real feedback, check it out here.

And, remember, FREE is a very good price, plus Cynthea Liu knows what she's talking about.

END OF THE RUN

So, Saturday night my hubby's play came to an end. It was a fun run.

RECIPE HOLDER

What a way to use an old store hanger - or one you have that's meant to hold pants or skirts. Wish I would have thought of this about 30 years ago. But...better late than never.

Pick Your Poison

Cyanide or Arsenic? Cheers to the Cast and Crew!

Plus I made bone cupcakes. The bones are made out of marzipan rather than fondant because I don't care how you make fondant, it just doesn't taste as good as marzipan.

I thought this was cute for the weekend performances of Arsenic and Old Lace.

I think this will be fun with a touch of fear...full.
