- Supercuts rocks! Seriously. I needed the back of my new short haircut trimmed but wasn't about to enlist my $80 a pop guy to do it. So I figured since it is a pretty choppy haircut, it would be fairly hard to mess up. Well, it took the lady all of 5 minutes and she charged me all of $5 for a "neck trim." Totally made my day and made her a 100% tip.
- I guess "Spring" is over in Houston because the humidity is back in full force. Friday's ride was the first time I've been completely soaked in months, and this morning I had bugs stuck to my face after my run. Awesome.
- Is it considered a sin to pour Miller Lite over Blue Bell Ice Cream in Brenham on Good Friday? If so, good thing it wasn't me who did it :-)
- Monica and I didn't drown in said swim, which was a high possibility for both of us considering we did our long run (14 miles) just before the swim. I was worried I'd have some serious calf/feet cramping issues but I think the wetsuit probably helped keep those at bay. I actually did have to perform a small Baywatch maneuver on Monica after she rocked out her mile race - her legs at least waited until she finished the race, but then they decided to cramp up big time so I used my trusty 14 yr old lifeguarding skills to get her to shallower water.

- It is safe to say the Silverlake Open Water Swim course was a bit shorter this time around than it was for their last race in October. I was faster this time in both the half mile and mile, yet I'm no where near the swim shape (or any shape) now that I was then, and a girl I beat in both last time beat me quite easily this time around (and also apparently announced her only goal for that day was "to beat Kathleen W" - I'm not sure if I've ever heard that before...I guess I'm glad I helped her reach her goal?!)

- I have something living in my apartment - for the first time in way over a year. Let's see how long it takes for me to kill it.
- After a little more thought, I've glad to have discovered that Houston has its very own double black ski slope should it ever actually snow enough to use it - Spotts Park. Thursday's Tour de Bayou run is still haunting me! I was scared to run down half of those hills because they were so steep, and know I wouldn't have skied down them either!
- I played Easter Bunny in Beaumont and got Mom and Dad an Easer Basket of their own. It had compression socks, an ace bandage, an ice pack, sport beans, and dark chocolate with almonds in it. Mom needs that stuff with her new athletic endeavors (they did EIGHT miles on Saturday!!!) and Dad can use his healthy chocolate to fuel up before his tennis matches.
- I switched to the "new and improved latest and greatest" blog editor and like it and all but there is NO spell check?!? Is that possible? Am I just missing it?

The hills in Spotts Park are wicked steep but I have used them for hill training. You just have to make sure to do it when no one is around. Trying to stop mid way down to avoid crashing into someone or their dog would be pretty hard.
