Oooh ... I've got to kick my butt a lot harder!
I've been doing a fair bit of cooking recently, probably to provide me with great leftovers so I can be lazy for the rest of the week.
This was fairly easy to make:
- chicken and portabella mushrooms alfredo
- endive and cucumber salad
And actually, so was this ... which is actually my first attempt at making salmon ... DELICIOUS! And I used to hate fish when I was growing up.
- sauteed potatoes with onions and spices
- salmon (olive oil, chives, special mix of seasonings with orange, topped with Italian breadcrumbs)
- sauteed veggies (I added some chicken stock for the seasoning, just perfect for this meal!)
I'm getting a wee more disciplined in training, but just a tad. I think when I finally make up my training schedule and post it somewhere, it'll be easier, 'cause frankly, having too many choices makes me end up doing none of them. I am too easily distracted.
In reverse order (as I try to remember my week ...):
Thursday
Cycle = 23km
Swim = 750m
- ride on my mountain bike up the mountain path and around through Outremont, a picturesque and wealthy part of town. Some good climbing for JC and I!
- super quick swim before joining a friend for supper. Worked in flip turns at every lap 'cept for two, once since I didn't want to kick a girl resting at the end, the other to adjust my cap
Wednesday
Cycle = 14km
- had too much to do and also had to change my tire so only got in a short symbolic ride. Still good to get out on my mountain bike though I feared puncturing my tire again.
Monday
Run = 14.5km
Swim = 1000m, with flip turns
Sunday
Swim = 1500m
Cycle = 30 min. on Mr. SB 'cause I was too lazy to set up my trainer
Saturday
Cycle = 1h 10min on my trainer
- I watched "Ray" while riding and have to admit, was distracted enough to stop a few times 'cause I didn't want to miss out on what was happening. Jamie Foxx's performance is amazing! Ray Charles was such a dog.
- the best films to cycle to though are action ones, like the Matrix series. The action and music just keep me pumping!

I am not good at watching a movie I haven't seen before while riding.... If it has any sort of plot, I'll notice I stopped riding at some thick section of it.
I end up watching bicycling races for this reason. Can't forget, then!
Of course, I avoid the indoors when possible, too :)
oh WOW... that food looks amazing!!! Of course you didn't think you could get that food post by me without a comment huh! ;)
So what`s up with the running? Where are you swimming now?
PS: I LOVE LOVE LOVE portobello mushrooms!! I have some ricotta-portobello ravioli (Costco) and it is AMAZING!
I'm mainly swimming at the Y still. I seem to swim best there, they have the most hours, and the showers are great.
Slowly incorporating more running into my training now but I find it difficult to do since I think I'm starting to enjoy the other two tri sports more ... maybe I've done too many marathons.
I know what you mean about portabello mushrooms ... I find it difficult to eat ordinary mushrooms now.
Next on my list is portobello mushroom burger... Never tried one but I'm looking for a tasty one. You know a place?
I've started blading-running bricks haha... Just because I was born with skates on my feet and spent more hours with skates on than shoes as a kid!
Did you know there are blading marathons and they're wicked fast ... go for it!
Nah I do it for glute and adductor strength as part of my knee re-hab!!! So I do it minimally, once a week for maintenance only! Unless I play hockey...
