Vegan - going, going, gone...

So Munch comes home from school after a Sparx Talk - inspirational talks from adults about their passions - and announces she's going vegan. I worked out that I've been vegetarian for 30 years, and it is my daughter that finally pushes me to take the extra step. Some careful planning and shopping decisions to be made, my old DMs to get rid of (*sniff*) and a commitment to try to eliminate animal products entirely. Anyone who knows me will be thinking 'but, cheese?' and I'm inclined to agree. We shall see....

Last cycle of the 2013-14 school year

Not going to happen ;(

It was going to be the last ride with some colleagues who are moving on this year. My last ride before a trip to the US and then France for the summer. Bugger!

Swimming

So we did a sprint triathlon last weekend, and I discovered that I have not, in fact, been training. I had thought that knocking out between 40 and 50 laps twice a week would do it. As it turns out I did 18 mins for a 800m swim - could Not breathe and ended up doing breast stroke the whole race. 

This morning, I swam each lap as fast as I could and, using a 45 second total, rested before attacking the next. So each rest gets shorter as each lap takes longer...

Hardest 20 min swim session I've ever done. Roll on triathlon 2 on Oct 12th!

Why you should NEVER eat 'French fries' again. EVER.

This is an absolute MUST to watch if you care abut food, cooking, eating or your health. That's everyone, right?
