I was at my local drug store looking for creative days to put some weight on Kylie (more about that later). and while I was there I also checked my blood pressure (119/73 all good), and then wandered around a little bit. I don't know why this caught my eye because it's not an aisle I spend much time in, (not yet) but I can tell you I did a monstrous double take! See if it hits you the same way?
I actually drove all the way home but then went back to get this picture just for your viewing pleasure. I guess the sign is advertising for their points card somehow, and this one just wasn't strategically well located. I'm still chuckling.
As to Kylie, we need to get her up to 75 pounds so that she can do the zipline in Mont Tremblant, and we're looking for creative ways to surreptitiously add a few. We need close to 10 total and we're about 3/4's of the way there with soft weights around her abdomen and ankles. I'm looking for some comfortable, soft, heavy things we can stick in the pockets of her cargo pants.in case you got any ideas.
And while I wasn't working on this problem I was out enjoying the day on my bike. My 90 kms was slow and uneventful but that's okay. What's not okay is the fact that it left me more tired than I would like. I need to be real gentle from here on in.
And I really only have two workouts left anyway. On thursday I need to swim at least 3000 metres, preferably 4000 for confidence, and then on Saturday I will try to do a mini Ironman with all the race day gear. I even want to simulate the event as to pre-race meal, and start time. We'll see if I can get my butt out of bed at 4 am??
Oh, and I think I finally made my last momentous race day decision! Which socks to wear! I think??
