Ytri..

was the name of the triathlon I did this weekend! It was in Birmingham, AL, which had a very cool downtown and I wish I had time to take some time and shoot it.
I placed 1st in my beginner age group which was neat even though Team magic got all of the times screwed up. On the way home we stopped for Sonic. We're all health nuts! Anywho, I loved the fact that my food was getting made by some employee with a bloody nose! Good thing I had my trusty camera with me so I could get some evidence in case we all got some kind of disease from this persona of human cleanliness.
This was the first weekend I've been through in over six months without my girlfriend Christina with me. It was super hard but I had to do everything I could to stay busy! I was still sad but bearable anyway...good times... think positive... My triathlon team had a Memorial day 40 mile ride and a party after which was pretty fun. I was trying to stay in the middle of the group and another lady so I could be a bridge between them and her so she wouldn't get lost then we got dropped. Oh well, I don't see an Ironman in the too near future! haha Then I went and hung out with my Mormon friends for about 2 hours to see another friend off. They played croquet and other little games. I just sat there because my knee wanted to make sure I noticed it. I will be introducing it to ICE tonight!

Bad but good Tuesdays!

Well, my friends know me as a pretty healthy eating person. I guess its time to let them know about the once a month DONUT TUESDAY at work! I love it!! Coffee and Donuts. Very,… very bad….on a ramble…I know now why Memphis is unhealthy. It is because we don’t accommodate being healthy. i.e.: no bike lanes, dead end sidewalks, no shaded pavilions in parks. However, there is hope, even with the tons great food Memphis has to offer people can still be healthy. The public is starting to see a need for change and offer “pay what you can” Yoga classes. (saw it in the paper) It’s a start and I hope it catches. Being active isn’t for everyone but I just want people to take care of themselves….and eating what makes you feel good is GREAT just moderation is GREAT-ER!
