a 4 hour boat ride


























we decided to take a boat ride down the river and canals one day. for a four hour tour, the boat was about 36 dollars. divide that by 3 and we were ok with that. then 2 french people asked if they could join.. sure thing. 36 divided by 5. heck yes! as we cruised along, we got to see a lot of plants, houses along the river and canals, we stopped to see some fish and stopped at an orchid garden. it was so relaxing. after our boat ride we decided to just wander around and then we shopped some before heading back to our side of town.

triathlon

well due to injury, i have been out of running for 6 weeks now. it sucks. i wont lie. everyday i am optimistic that it will be the day i can run again... so far, that day hasn't come. but i remain optimistic.

the positives of the situation.... i have really focused on swimming and biking. i can now swim 2 km no stopping in 40 minutes on a good day. i can cycle at least 60 km no problem (i haven't tried to go further... one of these days when it stops raining on saturday..

this is good because i want to do a half ironman next summer if possible. i still have to find one and see how doable it is with my work schedule. but the half ironman distances are swim 1.9 km bike 90 km run 21.1 km

once i get back to running without pain, catching back up to where i was, i know i can go the extra (especially after my many many marathons planned for this year) and add the other 2 sports.

lets hope for quick healing, and no more serious injury for another year!
