Cat Scratch Fever


Well, we haven't updated in a while so I thought I'd just jot down our most recent adventures. Saturday night we decided to give our cat "Poody" a bath. Cameron and I always go into this with the knowledge that one or both of us will come out with many scratches and much bleeding. This time was no exception. We both had scratches and bites. We both bled. I, however, took a pretty deep bite on the wrist which ended up swelling and becoming extremely painful. After holding out until Monday I finally decided to get it looked at by the doc. Yep, sure enough, it was infected. He gave me some antibiotic and that was the end of that. I feel much better and have started back on my training.....

Oh yea, I haven't mentioned my training on our blog yet. Well, I am doing a triathlon next week. May 22nd to be exact. I am getting butterflies in my belly just thinking about it. This is my first triathlon. I have done a few 5k races but that's about the extent of it. Initially, my goal was to get in better shape and drop a few pounds. I have have been working out for about 2 months now. My schedule looks something like this:

M-swim for an hour in AM then run or bike PM
T-Strength training and bike AM-Run PM
W-swim for an hour AM then run or bike PM
Th-Strength training and bike AM-Run PM
F-Swim for an hour AM and run or bike PM
SAT-Go for long bike ride then run right after
SUN REST

The Rec pool that I have been using has been closed this week so I feel behind the curve with swimming this week. Needless to say my minor setback with Poody-Tat has got me a little nervous that I might not be up to snuff come race time. We'll update with more details after the race!



As I was browsing through our pictures I came across this one of Papa Chuck and it fit perfectly for the song that is now playing, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
