I sweat chlorine.

Dear Coach Paul. I've been swimming so much lately that I just sweated chlorine on the bike. no joke. I can smell it.

The only reason I mind swimming so much is that it means getting up at 4:45am but other than that I've enjoyed feeling rather fishy lately. Is it weird that the highlight of my day tomorrow is that it is the one day that I don't have to swim in the morning this week? That means I get to sleep until like 6am!!!!

Today felt rather girly. On a whim I decided to put on high heels with my pants. I cave in too much and wear my flats (which need to be retired soon). At lunch I got my eyebrows threaded and later in the day I broke off the tip of one of the heels of my FAVORITE shoes. So I was walking the file cart back to the back room when stupid me tripped on it. Whatever. Kinda normal. On the way back to our cubicle I saw something funny on the floor and then realized it was the tip of a high heeled shoe. First reaction was to laugh and think...that sucks. I'm glad its not from my favorite pair of heels (so much my only favorite heels that I plan outfits around the shoes specifically. I'm not so good with heels and these are actually super comfy)...then I thought maybe I should just double check...and sure enough it was mine. Nothing a little super glue won't fix but I almost lost it again later in my car. I never thought I'd be the girl to break a heel.

In other news I got a mattress today...unfortunately I won't get it till Thursday so its back to the couch for me...and not my couch. I don't have one yet but one of the ladies on my master's team wants to give me one. It's purple but when you're starting with scratch you can make it work. In university Mum made a slip cover for my couch in my apartment so maybe I can do something like that if I'm not a fan of the purple.

As of tomorrow I leave for Clearwater in one week exactly. Exciting!!! After Sunday's two hour run I really feel ready...and ready for that post Clearwater plan I'm working on ;) ;). If not, no biggie but it would really really be fun. Kamal saw me running around the 1hr30 mark at Beaver Lake and apparently yelled at me but z-3 at that point and I was in a zone. He said I looked like I was trucking which sounds awesome to me. I actually felt really really good and could've kept going but my brain was tired and I had to catch a ferry eventually.

I think that's it. Sleep time. Here are some Halloween pics.




my awesome pedicure shelley decided to give me after a few drinks. haha.
