Please Help Bring Smiley to the U.S. (from Afghanistan)

I know this has nothing to do with running but I have a soft spot for animals...

Please read his story here - http://www.northcountrygazette.org/2011/06/26/smiley_home-2/ 

Any amount will do.  Even if it's just $1.  Every dollar counts!



As of this post, they already have $1,600.  They need to raise $2,400 more.  Yes, they need $4,000 to take him home.  Make sure you specify that it's for SMILEY.

Please read the article and I hope it somehow touches your heart.  Thanks in advance and God bless you!

Photo Friday: My PAMsuit

So... as per Jason's suggestion yesterday, I used PAM cooking spray so that I could put on and take off my wetsuit quickly.

At first I wasn't sure if he was serious!  But apparently, a lot of triathletes have been doing this.  I can't blame them, those silicone sprays are just too expensive for me.  Haha!  Cheapskate! :p

I look like Black Spidey! Can you see the oil dripping? :p

Just this afternoon, two days before my big triathlon debut (woot!), I sprayed on the icky oil on my legs and arms.  Swam a few laps and simulated my T1.

O...M...G...the wetsuit practically slid off my body.  I was out of the suit in seconds. A-mazing!  More importantly, the oil didn't feel so gross.  In fact, I didn't feel it on me at all.  I wish I took a video!

Thanks for the tip Jason!

Hot "fried" legs anyone?


NOTE: This is not a review of or a giveaway for PAM cooking spray. :p

Happy Friday, everyone! =)

Asking for Advice for First Triathlon

Ok I know the title of my post last month was , "I'm Baaaaack"...and the I disappear again. Wut?

I promise on my next post I will explain why I've been gone for so long. But for now...I wanna show you this...

This awesome trisuit arrived today.  It was a surprise from my athlete friends all the way from the Philippines!  I didn't know what to wear and trisuits are just so expensive here!  Now I am all set and I have to prove to Team Endure that I deserve to wear this!  Pressuuuure! Hahaha!

Hours after...I'm still wearing it.  I might not take it off until my triathlon on Sunday. =)

So... just a couple of days until my first tri.  Any advice for this first-timer? =)
