Happy as a clam!

I've always wondered why that expression came around because there isn't much to clams other than sucking in dirt and waiting to be dug up and eaten so why the heck would they be so happy right? So Urban dictionary says: The full phrase is "happy as a clam at high tide." Clams can only be dug up at low tides, so at high tide a clam is safer and secure, so therefore, happy.

Also what the heck does slow your roll mean right?  I mean I know what they mean by it but why would you say that?  My boss says it all the time and I found: According to Urban Dictionary "slow your roll" means:
Term used to inform a homie that he's getting outta control and he might want to shut the hell up before he gets beat the hell up. "Yo dawg, you better slow your roll fool."

Haa!!! Gave me a totally different impression of him! :-)  Somehow I think Urban dictionary uses different editors than Websters. 

Anyway the whole point of that educational moment is that I'm happy as a clam because I am back to having found a solution to my exercise problem that might make everyone happy!  It's going to take some playing around with schedules and some testing but I think I can manage to be able to get all my work done so I don't get fired, be home as soon as possible as to not impose anymore on the wonderful caregivers for my son (you know who you are), not wake my son up by leaving at the ass crack of dawn, whoops sorry Urban dictionary started influencing my vocabulary, cook dinner, maybe shower from time to time, eventually be able to get back into triathlons and best of all keep my sanity without the help of a therapist!!  So here goes nothing let's see how long this lasts.

I have a half marathon coming up this Sunday and for some reason I'm not that nervous.  I know I've trained enough but I'm not really sure I can beat my time from the first one I did post pregnancy.  Let's face it my PRs will now be listed as PPPR(post pregnancy PR) and  PrePregPR because speed doesn't seem to be anywhere in my dictionary these days Urban or Suburban.  It will be the same course as the first one I did PP so it will be interesting to see if I improved at all I did it in 2:18, 5 months ago and it was a rough one for me!  So the only problems I've had this training cycle is tummy problems and if I don't SMP during this race I'll consider it a success, I'll give you a minute on that one...   Also one other thing different on this training cycle is that I didn't have to do near as many long runs with the stroller so I wander if that will make a difference.  What do you thing?  Will I do about the same?

Happy Training!
