Help for those in Time-Out.

I've found heaps of helpful information on the web about treating my IT band, but next to nothing on ways occupy myself while waiting for any of it to work. There seems to be a void in webland that needs to be filled, so I thought I would share some ideas to fill the empty training hours. 

1. Watch one of the best movies ever, Rushmore, for the 186th time. Try not to pee when Bill Murray runs over Max's bike. Say "O R you?" to your spouse for a day or two after.

2. Make suits with Splish's custom site. Then find one that someone else already made that is better. I need this. Jen H, you may need it too. I take no credit, someone named Alex made it:

3. Install power tap software on every computer you have access to. Even the local library. When all refuse to find the attached power tap, sell it on craigslist to fund the swimwear habit.

4. Throw apple core out the car window at the gazelle-like runners on Kal Highway because they look so damn happy. (I didn't really do it, but I may have thought it. I had nowhere else to put it.)

5. Spell mean things with the refrigerator alphabet magnets to try to stir up the already volatile relationship between the six and eight year old. Misspell so they won't suspect anything.

6. Play with the youtube. Try to make like a swimmer and watch the Thorpedo in slow motion a few times. Watch the psycho divorcee lady. Then see a good one about cyclists:

   

7. Try mind over matter. Embrace your down time. Take off all your clothes, get out your barbie and your coloring books, and just unwind..

PS - I didn't write that on the fridge. I just found it there. Please don't call CPS on me.

PPS - Next time, I promise to write something useful and triathlon related and even serious. Bear with me here. I really, really need to go for a nice long run.
