Today
Today my dad had a crash. Praise God he's okay! Even if he wasn't okay the Lord would be praised! He fell while riding his bike and hit his head hard. His helmet is cracked in multiple locations. Praise God he was wearing it! He doesn't remember the crash or a bit afterwards which is normal. His buddy was riding with him and they collided when making a turn. The paramedics were called and spent a few minutes with him and said that he was fine. My dad stayed at his friend's house for a few hours before coming home. He's doing well other than being sore. It's great how the Lord worked it all out. I was over at the house and my mom invited me to join her and a few Navy moms at Cracker Barrell for lunch. I was originally planning on going but then at the last minute I decided to stay at home and do things around the apartment. The Lord knew what was going to happen and arranged it for me to be home so I could stay with my dad until my mom got home.
The rest of the day I have spent going through boxes in my closet and am taking a short break to do this. I have managed to get rid of three garbage bags full of stuff so far and have a few boxes belonging to my mom and dad that I need to bring to their house. I want to rearrange the apartment again but I'm not sure how I want to. I know I want to move one of these utility shelves to the closet to give me some shelves in there. However, it will take away Moc's "hiding spot". I will move my hutch to where the utility shelves are now. My computer will move over to my desk (it's currently sitting on one of the shelves of the utility shelves). I would like to get a small fridge and start cooking here. The stove hasn't been used in years and we aren't sure if it even works at all. It's also probably time to take my bike off of the trainer so I can ride it on the street instead of in here. The cats spook out when I am on it. :)
The triathlon is three weeks from today. I'm getting excited. This is my third year. I am expecting my times to be better this year as I am about 30-35 pounds lighter this year compared to last year. The first two years the times were within minutes of each other. I did better on the run last year but the bike was a little worse. The bike route was also changed between year one and two and I think the course was a little bit longer last year which would make sense why my times were a little longer on the bike. I can't compare the swimming times because the timining chip didn't catch me between the end of transition and heading in the pool the first year so my transition & swimming times are mixed together. Yes, the swimming portion of the triathlon is in a pool. One of the reasons why I was willing to do it the first year was because I could see the bottom. :) The triathlon a reverse tri (run, bike, swim) so by the time people hit the swimming we are all spread out. I do need to get new running shoes as these are over a year old now and I use them for everyday use too. I have been looking for running shoes and haven't found any that I like and support my feet the way I like. I need to get them soon so I can break them in before the race.
I better get going so I can get this place straightened back up. It's quite a mess! Have a great evening!!

I prefer New Balance over everything else I have ever worn even if I am only at the gym and not running and such. You might check them out. They have great arch support...
