OK, I couldn't think of a good name for Tuesday, so I jumped ahead to "Whatever Wednesday" a day early. I have nothing fun and exciting to blog about at the moment so I'll just throw out some random Wednesday thoughts!
- Matt and I have been asked to coach the Northern Ohio Team in Training Cleveland 10K team (for the Cleveland Marathon) this year. Kickoff is tomorrow and I am SO excited! GO TEAM!
- Thank you to Kevin (Ironman by Thirty) who declared November Anti-Captcha (word verification) Month, claiming it "useless" and a "pain in the butt". The day after I removed it I got spammed by a company offering "affordable link building services" to increase my ratings. Thanks Kevin! FAIL!
- After much mayhem at work these last few weeks, our contract is finally getting renewed! I am now gainfully employed for at least another year. Yay for health insurance and being able to buy Christmas gifts this year!
- If you haven't been a part of the action Rev3 has been releasing a new name on Facebook and Twitter each day for their 2012 Rev3 Triathlon Age Group Team. I am still awaiting my phone call to be a part of the team. Fingers crossed! So far they have released 6 out of 20 new team members, 5 of which are female. I'm curious what the guy/girl team ratio is. Either way, I hope I get a phone call!
- I am turning thirty in 14 more days! You know what that means....4 years and 14 days more of a highly competitive age group bracket. UGH!!! Sometimes I can't wait until I'm 60 so I can be one of the "fast" ones ;)
- My dad is taking me to see Puss in Boots for my B-day. My dad and I are identical in personality...just ask Matt. Most husbands, when pushed to that limit, claim they married their mother-in-laws. Matt often claims he married his father-in-law...hahahaha. Poor guy! We are like two big kids that refuse to grow up! We still watch cartoons, carve pumpkins, and dye Easter eggs....nothing wrong with that!
- 8 more days until Thanksgiving! This year Matt and I are spending the holiday with my mom, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew....and the pups of course. I can't wait for deep fried turkey and pumpkin pie!!!!
- Yesterday was National Diabetes Awareness Day and a group of amazing athletes from Team Type 1 completed their epic run across America! Congrats to Tom Kingery and the rest of the team! Be sure to read about it here.
- If you are looking for unique gift ideas be sure to check out Caricature Toons. They did an amazing job on Matt's caricature that I got for his birthday last year. The price is very reasonable and the turnaround is quick!
- Matt and I are debating between the Aurora Turkey Trot (4 miler) and the Cleveland Turkey Trot (5 miler) this year. Both are $18 and include a long sleeve t-shirt, but the Aurora one starts an hour earlier than the Cleveland one. We did the Cleveland one last year, so are leaning towards Aurora, but not sure what the course is like. It says its at the outlet mall. I would hate to do loops in the outlet mall parking lot...not that running downtown is that much more exciting.
- Since it's almost Thanksgiving I feel obligated to mention a few things I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and best friend Matt, my awesome crazy pups Frank and Sophie, my parent's for guiding me to be who I am today, and for my kick ass boss who fought tooth and nail to get our contract renewed in a timely fashion so we can all celebrate the Holidays a little more stress free. I am also thankful for my health and for the wonderful opportunities I have been gifted in the world of running and triathlon. And finally I am thankful for our chickens which provide us with the most natural and freshest source of protein each and every morning....thank you Mo, Puff, and Stella ;) YOU ROCK!

Sorry! Just think of it as your blog is so popular that people want to SPAM it. ;)
Woohoo on contract renewal!
Rev3 better call or I will call them and tear them a new one.
We are looking at doing a Turkey Trot too. The Detroit Turkey Trot is huge though and kind of a zoo. Last time we ran it we spent more time running side to side than forward.
Poor Frank! He looks so depressed stuck behind the gate after being replaced by a chicken. haha
I hope you make Rev3!!
Poor Frank!!
Awesome on the contract AND on the coaching Team in Traning (do you know the acronym is TIT? I just almost wrote that. Good luck with TIT. That would have looked mighty funny.)
Wow, that captcha thing got you quick, huh?
OMG baby chicks, how cute!!!!
Congrats on Team in Training that will be an awesome experience for you guys and I hope you make it on to Rev3!
Lastly, come to the Turkey trot downtown! That's where i will be!

- Have fun coaching the team!!!
- I am glad your contract was renewed, I didnt know who I was going to blame if something blew up in space
- Werent you already in the 30-34 AG, with the weird and stupid USAT rule?
- So was your dad's first words to Matt the same first words I ever heard you say???
Sending you awesome vibes for Rev3!!! And very cool you guys are coaching TnT!
@Kevin - I forgive you! Yes, that is what our downtown Turkey Trot is like. And yes, Frank was devastated when we brought the chicks home. Now he doesn't give a crap because he realized that he still gets more attention then them.
@Mandy - ME TOO!!! Yes, I did realize it was TIT. Imagine how funny it was when they reserved some swim lanes for us at the rec center by posting "Reserved for TIT"...haha. Typically we use TNT.
@Jessica - Thanks, I hope I make it too! I think we decided to go with the Aurora TT this year. It works out better with timing for Thanksgiving dinner at my moms. Good luck though and have fun!
@BDD - Yes, I was already in the 30-34 A/G...I meant to say that this leaves me with 4 more years in that A/G, but it didn't come out that way =( And ironically, my dad's first words to Matt were, "Do I need to bring a gun?" LOL!!! Matt had told him he needed to talk to him in person, but didn't say why. He was planning to ask to marry me. My dad assumed it was either that or that I was pregnant...or both...lol! His next words to Matt after Matt asked if it was ok to marry me, "Are you sure?" LOL! Love my dad!
@M
THANKS =)
What was on TV in your last picture? Looks like a doggy running or a football.
Frank says, "Pay attention to ME!"
I hope you get picked!! Loved this post, for someone that doesn't have anything fun or exciting to blog about your blog was fun and exciting!
and omg I didn't even notice that last picture til I read Matt's comment.
Good luck on getting picked!
Also, I have noticed that whatever age group I am in is the largest....Everyone is aging at the same rate. Boo. I am sure in a couple years the 35-39 will be the biggest. Cristina is in that one right now, and thankfully I only have to be in it with her for a couple years, but that is where I will be next year, so at least the two of us won't be in the same ag anymore.
Oh my! Where to begin??
-Congrats on the coaching gig and contract renewal! Double awesomeness!
-Nothing wrong with that at all! I don't understand why those things are considered "kid stuff". Let's rename them "fun stuff"!
-$18 for a long sleeve t-shirt?? I think we got ripped off! ;) We signed up for our trot this morning. $15, and all we get are gloves!
-Love the thankful list! And that last picture! Buh! SO cute! Poor Frank, tho!
I love that you are coaches for Team In Training. What a rewarding experience! :)
I can't wait to hear how Puss in Boots is. I want to go see it, but think I might have to go alone! :(
Happy birthday early! You are still a baby. And yes, the 30-34 age groups sucks. hahaha!
Great list of things to be thankful for. And what a cute chicken!
