Organic Diva

OK, this awful weather has me thinking of white water rafting, the beach, anything water oriented because the rain just keeps on coming down in sheets. Three days in a row now. Apparently on NY Ave NW (where I walked on Saturday) a section as large as a football field decided to slide off to the side ... the ground became unstable. Makes you feel safe, eh?


Anyway, two new developments that have me pumped with energy. The first is Planet Organics (www.planetorganics.com) which is basically a grocery delivery service, only the emphasis is on healthy, organic choices from fruits and veggies to meats to grocery aisle items. Since I'm car free, this could be a way to keep me away from bad choices at the grocery store (read: Trader Joes Orange Chicken) and fully stocked with fruits and veggies that I actually like.

And drumroll please ... after the hard workout (which in six months we'll laugh at because it really wasn't all that much) I believe I've convinced Lorey to commit to a sprint triathalon. Its in the Queen City, women only, and especially made for first timers with a flat course and lots of support on the field ... and in the form of family and friends who can come and cheer us on. I'm going to see if I can recruit more gals, namely Anne O and Stephanie M, to join us. September 6 is the date. 250 meter swim, 7 mile bike, 2 mile run Depending on my friend Chloe's schedule, I might commit to another as well, somewhere fun!

So, now back to reality ... new week ... same goals ... brought both my bathing suit and my sneaks for the Y.
