Netflix is AWESOME

Why does it take me so long to catch onto trendy stuff? I don't know, but now that I've found Netflix, I will never let go.

Triathlon training is in full effect around this house. The weather is mostly nice, and the hubs and I are taking advantage. I've found a training plan I am super stoked about from Trigeek.com, and it starts officially next Monday. In the meantime, I am working at building my swimming and running base. Building my running base at this time consists of 45 minute treadmill runs during nap time. PAINFUL. Treadmills are torture. I often just count as high as I can in my head as the miles tick by, sometimes reaching the tens of thousands. Seriously.

Until Netflix. Now, I count down the minutes until nap time. Right now, I am catching up on the first few seasons of Glee, next I am moving onto the "Downtown Abbey" show everyone is talking about. I set up my trusty iPad on the treadmill shelf, turn on the captions so I don't miss a plot line, and just run and run.

Swimming is heaven. I wish I could get everyone I know in the pool. The world would be a happier place. I am slightly nervous about getting back into a lake, but in the meantime, I am enjoying the clean, clear, chlorineness of the lap lanes.

I am also quite excited about the growing number of my friends at work that have signed up for their first triathlons. I am so excited about sharing this journey with more and more people.
