Still going and going...

Weighed in today....down 61lbs now! WOOHOO!!!

I get to...

I have to... No, I don't have to. I want to. I get to.
I get to charge up this hill. I get to wake up early and run. I get to hit the gym after work. I get to work with high school athletes. I get to make dinner for my child. I get to clean my house. I get to pack lunches. I get to help with homework. I get to take Josiah to football. I get to pick him up from school. I get to go to the grocery store. I get to run an errand/do a favor for my friends. I get to call my Mom/Dad/grandparents today. I get to help my neighbors while they are out of town. I get to make healthy choices for my next meal. I get to stand up for myself or someone I love. I get to train for this marathon, triathlon, half-marathon, 10K, 5K....

Thanks Kristen Armstrong for this reminder!

Chafing

I noticed something while running today...I have lost enough weight that my thighs don't rub and chafe anymore! NICE!!

Need to Race...

I was thinking today and have come to the conclusion that I am ready to race! After last year's Vineman 70.3, I took some time off and then I only competed in 2 triathlons this year. I did the MH Sugar Land Tri in June and River Cities in August. I am BORED!!! I was running this morning and the sun was out and I was having a great run when all of a sudden I thought, WHY HAVEN'T I RACED IN SO LONG??? Since there aren't really any tri's for me to do coming up and I don't have much time for swimming and biking, I guess it is time to find a road race. The warm-up series half marathon seems so far off at the end of October. I'm thinking of the 10 for Texas in the Woodlands on October 10th...anybody run it before and have insight on this one???

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!
