It’s back! Three Things Thursday. It’s been MIA in the recent past, but it’s making a comeback!
Without further ado –
1. You could say I have a peanut butter problem. I have been eating copious amounts of this goodness for the last couple months. I try to portion control while at work – but I seem to be hoarding it because I love it so much. I eat it with sliced apples, bananas, and with a spoon right out of the container. My friend, Meghan, suggested I bring the entire container to work and just leave it instead of trying to ration my problem. But, quite seriously, I think if left to my own jar … well, I would open it several times throughout the day and the sucker would be consumed in no time. Better stick to portion control, however silly this looks ….
2. Clearly, I need to stretch more. This is my attempt at a hamstring stretch. As you can see — I’m not so bendy.
3. Last night marked my longest swim to date!! 3000 yards!! OR – 1.7 miles! Took me a little over an hour, but I did it and am so happy I did — because, this marks my furthest swim since Ironman Canada 2011. Wanna read about my Ironman Canada 2011 experience? CLICK HERE.
For the record, the pool I swim in is SHORT! I have to touch 6 times in order to make 100 yards, or 3 down and backs. So people, guess what? I did 180 touches last night. PHEW! (oh – and I didn’t use the paddles, but I did use the pull buoy the second half of the set per coaches instructions).
I love how you have these little themes for your posts! Congrats on the swim!! -Simone
Ahh thanks Simone!! I’m a bit of a goof ball – hopefully that comes out in my posts. xo
Lol totally! And in a good way!! – Simone
Yay!! Can’t wait to read more of your blog. I just added it to my reader. 🙂
Thanks so much! I look forward to following your journey also!! – Simone 🙂
Holy cow that’s a long way to swim. Great job!
Holy cow is right. Lonely there too!! I had the pool to myself last night. 🙂 miss you Jess! xo
I used to keep a jar of peanut butter at my desk. I also kept a spoon on top of said jar. It was bad news. Probably much safer to ration into smaller containers!
My thoughts exactly!! Lol. 😉
I love peanut butter too! I actually just discovered the most delicious organic peanut butter. The brand is called woodstock. It only consists of sea salt and peanuts. It is 9 grams of protein per serving and is free of GMOs. I’ll post a pic on my blog.
ohhhh yummy!! I will have to look for it!! 🙂 thanks for the suggestion!
Really enjoy following your swimming exploits. 180 touches? It is time, Grasshopper. Embrace the flip turn! I’m still working on mine but if I can learn it at …. an advancing age, you should have no (major) problem. It will change your life ;o)
lol … I think I might drown for sure with the flip turn. I’m good with the touch. I’m working on this swimming thing, little by little!
I share in your PB predicament. AND your stretchy predicament! I guess there are worse things that could happen, right?! I mean, there could be a Trader Joe’s chocolate caramel predicament…
ohhhhh, those dark chocolate caramel TJ goodies!! Yes!! I just may have to send you some! xo
