1) I decided 1 race was not enough. I needed more. I've signed up for a 10 mile race, which is next week. Its the first annual "Battle of Brooklyn", and I'm assuming a 12-minute mile average, and therefore a goal of 2 hours. This is based on the fact that I run a 9:45mile, but don't have the endurance to keep going at that pace. I don't have the ability to go slower - I just tend to walk a bit every so often. The race starts at 8am next Sunday, and I *hope* I'm done by 10am!
2) I was deathly sick for about a week, a week after the triathlon. I could eat, I didn't want liquids, I was a complete mess. I heard that a guy from my high school who also did the tri had to go to the ER for some weird dehydration issues. He's okay now, but it really makes me wonder if my sickness was really due to bad seafood I had a week after the tri, or if it was somehow Hudson related.
3) The Yahoo! matches came in for my donations!! I am officially at over $1000 over the fundraising minimum!! I'm still waiting on a few more matches to come through, but this is amazing!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR DONATIONS!! I promise I will get my thank you note out soon.
4) I've been trying to reclaim my social life, while not going too hard, and still remembering that I have this 10 miler coming up.
5) I'm still losing weight, but I'm still looking toned.
6) My back is still out of whack, and I don't know how much longer I want to go without seeing a back doctor. really, I'm not sure if I just need a really good massage.
7) Me and the guy from my high school (we randomly recognized each other at a Team In Training group training session!) got featured in our high school's monthly photostream! How cool is that? A fellow ASIJer had come to watch us and cheer for us, and got this awesome picture. :)
