Overheard: Thursday Thirteen


Just 13 things I've heard listening to what's going on around the office this morning:

1)  "Oooooh, la, la" (I have no idea what they were referring to, but it spawned the idea of my TT and they were very happy

2)  "Stupid Machine!"  (referring to the postage meter)

3)  "I'll be back... maybe.  *snicker*

4) "You're not kidding, are you?  What part of my message did they not understand?"

5)  "Is the Internet boken?"  Because FB wasn't loading on their PC

6)  Sirens.  Not uncommon in this *lovely* area of Houston

7)  "I tried my wedding dress on yesterday.  It doesn't fit."

8)  My mind telling me, "Go home and get stuff done."

9)  "They are a cash-only customer now."

10)  The clickitty-click of the keyboard.

11)  The sound of receiving text messages on my Blackberry

12)  Squeaky Doors

13)  Toilets flushing (thank goodness, anyway.)

What's happening THIS week.

Image
This week started out with a *bang* yesterday doing the 70.3 in Galveston.  Now, if I'm keeping it real, I only trained about a month for the swim so I wasn't completely deserving of a great swim time.  I'm good with that.  You get out what you put in.

It was a really tough race for everyone, including the pros, who were rolling behind their normal performance (so they say).  The swim was the easiest of all the years I've done this race, and my my worst time.  In the end the swim took me 48 minutes.  I think my best time in Galveston was 43.

The swim was wetsuit optional and I chose to move to the wetsuit wave.  With 50+ relays, we weren't in contention for anything, so we kept it light and fun.  I was a bit uncomfortable until the first turn, but then found my pace.  I swam, what seemed, pretty darned straight.  So straight that I wished I wore my Garmin.  And I didn't wear my Garmin, well, because I didn't want to suck the fun out of it. and see bad data…

I Loved It! Moving Comfort Compression Running Shorts

Thanks to Misty over at the Athena Diaries, I have a new love! The Moving Comfort MCW Compression Running Short.

I have been a long-time fan of MC's sports bras; they are a less expensive alternative to the Enell and keep *things* in place just as well. The Maia is my favorite -- I swim, bike and run in them without any discomfort. I am still on the hunt for a good high impact racer-back bra for a D.

I ordered my shorts but was on the fence with regard to sizing. I call the folks up at Moving Comfort and they were nice and helpful. The customer service rep suggested the MCW version, when I told her my issues and how I am right on the tail end of regular sizes. So I went with their a "MCW" collection. I'm glad I did.

It was nice to know that the MCW version was exactly the same tech-wear, just sized for the fuller figure and 1/2" longer. I really appreciated that the fit wasn't just a larger size of the regular sized version. They took into account the areas plu…
