Pic for Steph :)

First week of School

1. School is really messing with my workout/social calender.

2. I haven't seen some of my friends in weeks. :(

3. I still hate freshman, and they gave me an advisory period with 18 of them! I have to see them every Wednesday for 30 minnutes...UGH! I told them today that I hate freshman and this is their chance to change my mind about a whole sub population. :)

4. Josiah has already asked me how many days until Christmas vacation...and he is only in 1st grade! LOL

5. Three friends that I dearly love are doing Ironman Canada this Sunday...and I wish I was there to cheer them on!!! They are going to do great! I had so much fun with 2 of them at Vineman 70.3 last year.

6. I can't wait for New Orleans 70.3...I am gonna ROCK IT!

7. I have finally done it...50 POUNDS LOST SINCE February 1st!

The Zone

I had a great run today....I was in the ZONE! 6 miles in 72 minutes. Last year I ran the half marathon in 3:42...this year I am aiming for sub 3 hours.

Goodbye...

...I'll see you in November, when football season is over! Practice starts tomorrow...

5 Things on my mind...

1. I must drink more water on Friday if I am going to make it through my
long workouts on the weekends without cramping and having to recover
for 2 days.
2. Don't trust anybody in education...they all lie!
3. Only 1 more week until I go back to work. Yuck! See #2...
4. Rivercities this weekend! WOOHOO!! I can't wait to travel with Patty,
Pam, and Catherine to Shreveport.
5. I have scrubbed my house and got things ready for next week. I am
way ahead of the schedule.

California Girl

I miss California so much when I am not there. Thank god I was able to take Josiah and go for 2 weeks, the best 2 weeks we have ever had since he was born. He is at the perfect travel age where if he doesnt get a nap it is okay, no breakdowns! We went for walks on the beach, boogey boarding, to Legoland twice (Josiah's first roller coaster), the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the San Diego Zoo, saw Transformers 2, the Redwoods in Northern California, and Benny's wedding. ALL IN 2 WEEKS! Whew! I need a vacation from my vacation. Good news: I didn't gain weight in California! :)
