me? a stylish blogger? get out!

Shelby over at Post Script blog nominated me for this lovely STYLISH Blogger Award. I have to list 7 odd/weird things about myself. oh boy, where to begin? so thank you Shelby. sorry it took me so long to pull it all together.

1. hello, my name is Kristie and i am a coffeeholic. actually, i'm not addicted, i just really, really LOVE coffee. like a connoisseur of fine wine, i dig the brew. i always buy whole beans and grind them right before brewing. i'm also a coffee snob and usually won't drink anything other than Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts and i like it STRONG!!

2. i love hockey and baseball. Rays and Lightning baby!

3. i eat no less than 12 eggs whites a day. now you bloggers with chickens know why i wish i had my own chickens.

4. i watch about 1 -2 hours of tv a week except when the rays and lightning are on.

5. can't tell you the last movie i saw at the theater or at home for that matter. i have a problem sitting for more than 5 minutes.

6. if i could safely ride my bike to work, i would but i don't have a death wish (50 miles round trip).

7. i graduated from college with a degree in exercise physiology, was in the field for 15 years up until 2004. sometimes i feel it calling me back ...sigh.
**********************
forgive me in advance for not linking any blog names below but you can find their links in my blog roll to the left. i have very limited time this morning but really wanted to get this blog post out asap.
big shout out to everyone doing the Boston Marathon today especially Vanessa from Medievalist Running in Circles. i'm with you in spirit. woulda been there in person but, well ...it filled up in 8 hours and i got caught off guard. oh well.

another big shout out to BDD of Tri Diesel blog, Matty O from Staying Strong and Positive blog, his lovely wife H, Kevin at Ironman By Thirty and Colleen at IronDiva who all did the Glass City half mary yesterday. it was BDD's first ever half marthon.

Congrats to Allison at Just Tri and Finish blog and Heidi at TriAngel blog who did the NOLA Ironman Duathlon 70.3 yesterday. rough water on the lake called for a duathlon. bummer!
and last but not least, huge congrats to JC from Slow and Fat Triathlete. he did his first ever triathlon on Saturday.
**********************
on the training side of things, all good. 3 weeks without socks and no blisters, yay! got in lots and lots of biking miles this weekend. the wind was not so nice but hey, gotta take what the day gives you. did a nice mini duathlon this morning to get things rolling (2.5/10/2.5) and swimming after work. good times!

have a great day everyone. much love and peace out!

    Finally! JK-I know that grown ups have this horrible thing called work to do.

    I cannot sit in a movie theater either, I am too ADHD.

    Good luck Bostoners!

    I think you're pretty stylish. Holy cow...12 Egg Whites? That's incredible. Maybe I should do that to be as fast as you. That mini duathlon you did this morning sounds fun. Good luck on your swim tonight.

    @Shelby
    yes! work and training take up lots of time and then the free time i do have, veg out!
    I'm thinking definitely ADHD. Not officially diagnosed but i have my suspicions.

    Smitty, the mini duathlons are fun. makes the time go fast and takes care of working on the bike to run transition.
    12 egg whites = lots of quality protein. It also keeps me from craving sweets for some reason.

    @Matt, I make omelete's. Sometimes I eat them plain, other times, I'll throw it into a whole wheat wrap with some colby jack cheese. I'm getting hungry now.

    I'm with you... I'd rather have ADD than have to sit in front of the TV... thanks for the 7.

    I do love eggs but they dont seem to like me. Darn it. I admit I watch way to much T.V.. But when the grass starts to grow I will be outside mowing. Cant wait. Thanks for sharing 7 things about yourself.

    YAY for all the shout-outs to those rocking races this weekend!

    12 egg whites/day? Wow! Do you mix them with veggies? I don't mind eggs but can't stomach more than about 3/day. I know the white is such good protein...

    I think you should do the exercise gig again - you're such an inspiration and great motivator!!

    Styling baby!!
    Arnie and I have our IMTX "look a like" course. Start at bottom of Suncoast, ride up to route 50 come back to 572 and head over to the "Batten Death Ride". Do ALL of Batten three times (including hood) and work way back long way via Bayhead....
    Good tip on the "hood"
    Thanks

    Not stylish? Have you seen that pic in the middle of you on the bike? Yes, that is stylish.

    I can't sit still for 5 minutes either.

    Also, the egg white thing is impressive. I eat about 4. Do you boil them all? I know that is a weird question but it would be the easiest way to ditch the yoke I am thinking.

    12 eggs a day! WOW! I love eggs, but am lucky to have them once a week. I need to start making them more but I am too lazy in the morning to take the time.

    I'm a total TV/Movie whore. Except I really don't focus on it. I have the TV or something on all day during work for background noise but there are times were an episode finishes and I couldn't even tell you what it was about.

    Thanks for the shout out!

    Thanks for the mention KC. Sorry we didn't get to chat at LAF tonight. I didn't want to barge into your workout, and the next time I looked up you were gone. Maybe next time? Your swimming is amazing by the way. I am envious.

    Hey KC! I've been doing a lot more lurking than commenting these days, but I wanted to thank you for your recent comments on my blog in regards to St. Ants and FIT. I really appreciate the insight. I definitely hope that I get the chance to meet you at FIT. I'll be doing the Sprint that day and then plan on being a very loud cheering section for the rest of the Sprint/Oly folks!
