Less is more Movie.

As you can see on the side of the blog is a new movie I scripted for a website I found "Extra Normal Text a movie "where you can make your own movies. Pretty cool I think and lots of fun! So I made a comic version of my less is more training parity of my less is more mentality. I think it is funny. Joanne couldn't hold in the laughter when she saw it. what do you think?

Yesterday I had to be Joe plumber again and missed my training day. My brother called me in the morning to see if I could come over to his place before I went to work to install some water stop valves under the vanity sink he is ripping out. My brother is remodeling his main floor washroom, so my brother took a few days off work so he can rip and gut out his main floor washroom so he can tile the floor, and he needed me to take the sink and vanity out and put in stop valves on the hot and cold water lines under the sink as there were none there. The job of tiling and remodeling would take a few days and he couldn't have his main water line turned off for that long. So I went to help him instead of going to my planned LA Fitness training.

Joanne's Birthday today.

Happy Birthday Joanne. I hope you have a great day. I love you. :)

I don't see Joanne during the week so i left her some flowers and truffles on the kitchen table for her to see first thing in the morning and I made her a lunch of fresh salad and a couple of slices of spinach pizza and a couple of slices of cheese cake i bought to take to work.


I had another good workout at LA Fitness today. I started with weights for about 20 min then I hit the treadmill for some interval running for 45 min and went down to the pool for a 20 min swim. I'm beat!

I'm liking this fitness center, It's not very busy at the time I'm there, maybe 50-75 people, but the place is so big and has so many cardio and weight machines the place looks empty. And the pool!! I'm the only one using the pool, It's mine, all mine I'll tell you, mine! mine! mine!Boowahaha!!

Perfect Pool

I was off work Monday and Tuesday so I haven't had a chance to do any training at La Fitness. As you know La Fitness is in Brampton where I work.

Today I went to work so I went to La Fitness first. I ran the treadmill for 45 min and then I dreaded going down to the pool. Well, to my surprise I jumped in, the almost jumped back out!! Brrrrrr! it was cool!! Then I thought? Yeah! I had some influence in getting the pool temperature brought down. I had a good swim, albeit doing a 1000m strait set, I was easily tired since I haven't done any hard swimming in months. Woo Hoo!

After my swim as I was leaving, I stopped at the front counter and told the receptionist the pool was perfect! She then told me after I said the pool was to warm on Friday they checked it out and found the pool temp was 90F and re-adjusted it down to 82F-84F ....YESSSS! Perfect for swim training! :)

I'M IN!

Arizona Ironman came and went. I had a fun time watching the on line video coverage on Ironman.com Sunday, which BTW was really good this time covering the pros while out on the course for their race, and later the age groupers. And to all my friends who were racing, I like to say congrats to you all who finished, you are all Ironman!

Monday morning I was eager to get on line to sign up for next years race. Registration wasn't being held until 11am PT so I had to wait until 2pm to sign up. At 1:50pm I got on line and logged on to my active account and kept hitting refresh. Then BAM! I'm on the registration page, woo hoo, most of my fields where already filled as I am Active.com member and my info was already imputed from my previous races, so I just had to fill in a few fields including my credit card field and submit! Soon as I filled all required fields I hit submit and ...WTF! I got a error on submitting?? Doh! I didn't fill in my mailing address field. I resubmit and...WTF! I got another error, invalid credit card? I go back and realize I can't have spaces with the credit card number, so I re-input with no spaces and submit and....BAM! I'M IN!! I'm in the Ford Ironman Arizona 2010 Race.

Now for the hard part! The training. Wooooooo!
