Oh No! It's a Worldwide Banana Shortage!!!

I was at Co-Op the other night and saw a sign up so I went to the website to check it out. Apparently due the massive flooding in Ecuador has resulted in a potassium shortage! This is probably an actual problem but it makes me giggle to think there is a banana shortage! (mostly because I think banana is a funny word to say!)

Otherwise things are ok. This weather is getting me down and I'd like to curl up in a blanket and just listen to the rain fall. Unfortunately that's just not an option right now. So instead I swam this morning and ran at lunch to pick up the endorphins.

I have 6 hours of biking to do this weekend. Depending on weather I'm going to switch them up, I just don't see my mood improving with 4 hours on the trainer!

I've heard about the impending banana shortage, and that's gonna be a problem for me. I eat lots of them.

Weather sux this weekend. I've got a 100+ K ride to get in sometime, and I'd rather not go in cold rain. Neither do I want to sit on the trainer for 4 hours; it's just not the same workout as outside.

It's just like that first day we were in Penticton when the Safeway was sold out of bananas -- although that was due to the large number of triathletes that rolled into town.

You're right, banana is a funny word to say! LOL!

Get some really good movies for your indoor ride (if that is what you do) and make it as enjoyable as possible.
