You know that you are a triathlete, if you ask what a record on a treadmill is in a cardiac stress test lab is. And beat it!
(It's a true story and a person shall remain nameless). Yeah, you know who you are!!!!!

Training, training and more training.

This week was a major training extravaganza. with nice weather, I really enjoyed spending as much time outside as possible. Except hill aka hell repeats on the bike on Tuesday. Myself, Bob, Steven, Dani and Keith attacked a nasty hill 11 times. UGH!!! After the second one, I was sure that I was loosing my breakfast, lunch and snacks, but after that, it went pretty smooth. I guess it takes a while for my body to adapt. Today, I swam, biked and ran, and felt pretty good. Of course going to Ryan's as my motivation helped.

Congratulations to Danielle for rocking the Tundra TT and placing 5Th overall. I swear, that girl is getting stronger by seconds!!!!!

One step forward, and two backwards...

It's been forever since i have blogged, but it's been pretty boring around here. This past week i was sick with the flu, so no training for me. I am kind of freaking, since Gulf Coast is coming up soon. I feel like as soon as I get a hang of training and get in the groove, something sets me back. Is someone upstairs trying to tell me something? I hope not. I wish I was outside right now doing something fun, but I realize that in order for me to get better, I have to ride it out. I was soooo extremely bored this morning, that I decided to shave the dogs. Boo came out awesome, but Oscar was a different story, had to call his groomer and tell her it was an emergency...hope she can fix him. I hope everyone enjoyed this great weather and did a lot of fun things outside. i am totally jealous. Next weekend, here I come!!!

Well, it has been a few weeks since I have written anything. Life has been kind of hectic. Trying to get back into swing of things like training twice a day. I have gotten quite lazy after the marathon. Looks like I may be run/walking the Calloway Gardens half if my ankle feels better, I have a micro tear in one of the tendons, ugh! I have been swimming and riding almost every day, and having to wear da boot has not been fun. Dani, how did you do it for such a long time? At the end of the day it feels like it weighs at least a hundred pounds. I will try to get in to a splint by tuesday. Will see what happens.

Weekend stuff.

Well, yesterday was my first brick of the season. 1hr in the trainer and 1.5hr run....was supposed to be 30 min, but I got lost. Only me. The subdivision was old with a whole bunch of ways, drives and roads. I forget, which one goes in a circle?!!! it was a nice run, even though I ran 10 miles the day before with guys from ATC, who completely whooped my butt.

Oh, yeah, on Saturday we went to cirque DE so lei and saw some wild things. The contortionists freaked me out the most. They must be quadruple jointed.

Today, no training, day off and I am chilling on the couch with the boys.

So true!

Taurus (4/20-5/20)
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone, so if someone is putting pressure on you to hurry up right now, tell them to mind their own business. You know what is best for you right now, and you just have to keep doing it -- at your own pace! Some people are always in a hurry and they have a distorted sense of deadlines. So just take your time and appreciate the smaller things in life. Those mountains that you want to climb aren't going anywhere anytime soon!

This is my horoscope for today! There are so many pressures going on right now, just need to have a clear head!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New Year to all my peeps! I wish you all health, PR's and happiness! I know, 2009 will be awesome for all of us. 2008 was a pretty bad year for a lot of people and I am glad it's gone....good riddance!
I started the new year with a bang-a 5K in Kennesaw. It hurt like H-E-L-L! Ran with Phil the first mile, he said we did a 6:25, then, my chest exploded. All that cold air. Slowed down some after that first mile and finished in 22:15, 1st AG. Not my best performance, but I will take it since I have not been training much.
Congratulations to Steven, Phil, Bob, Sue and others, great race! Spanx, as always, thank you for the support.
