So much to do, so little time!!!!!

This weekend was great training! Fri-swim, Sat-swim/run, Sun-swim/bike /run. Went to Colums Dr on Sunday to test out Dave's Zipp wheels and my new aero-hermet. I felt so super fast with avg. 20miles/hr.- which is good for me. Saw Bob and Sue who were out for a 20 mile stroll looking super strong!

On Saturday, we dropped off the delinquents at the groomers which totally pissed them off. When we got back, Steven took them both on a long walk. After they got back, Steven was sitting on the couch, and Boo squatted down right in front of him and took the biggest and stinkiest poop! Come to Jesus meeting was in order! As Boo was running away from Steven, he stepped right into the pile of poop and kept running! What is wrong with that boy?

This evening took Keith's class. Lot's of familiar faces. The hill troll strikes again, it was a good class.

Congrats to Olga on a great race in Florida this weekend! You make me proud!

Oh the stupid pollen.....

Met up with Olga at Stone Mountain for a small loop run. She did great!!!!! Some guy tried to race me but it did not work out for him!!! Then, off to the pool for a 1/2mile swim. The whole time I was swimming , i felt like a rock was stuck in my chest, then, after I got out of the pool, my breathing felt labored and I felt like I was going to have an asthma attack, not that I ever had one, took a Benadryl and feel soooo much better(need to swipe an inhaler from work just in case, self prescribing is the best!!!). Ran in to Walter in Target, I am glad that he is feeling better. There will be so many more races for him, he is a tough cookie! This weather is crazy, today is 73 and tomorrow will be 50s and raining, no wonder people are getting sick. Dani, I will say a prayer for your friend, but I know that everything will be all right!

The weather is so blah!

I am off again today. Much needed! Met Olga for a 5:45am spin class and a wet suit swim in the pool afterwards. People were starring at us, oh well. We had puddles of sweat under us, trying to get these things on, finally after 30min we were off in the pool. Felt pretty good, hopefully i will get to use it in Miami. www.southbeachtri.com I am getting sooooo excited!!!!!! I think i am ready!!!!! So many things to think of when you are flying. Does anyone know whether i can bring co2 cartridges with me? Oh yeah, the weather is blah and it's making me lazy. Thanks to my wonderful dogs, I have not slept well in 4-5days!! Hardwoods and claws-not cool! Somebody will be getting groomed this week.

ING and Eclipse de Luna

Yesterday, myself, Dani, Keith, Victor and a few other peeps that I know ran the ING. Most of us ran the half, Keith ran the full as his "training run"!!!! Please, who runs a full marathon in less then 4 hours and calls it a "training run"?!!! Keith, you are an incredible athlete and a MAJOR sandbagger!

Due to my dumbness we arrived at Turner Field at 6:30am (with a 7am start) and Steven asled where were all 15000 people and why was it dark? Dani tried to call a few peeps, bu no reply! Then, Steven said that he saww barricades by the Centennial Olympic Park, so there we went. Got it right that time! (I will never hear the end of this one!!!!)

Got there just in time to let our bowels empty and for a short, drunken warm up. Dani and i kept running into eachother. Neither one of us got very much sleep the night before.

The race was organized great. There was so much support on the sidelines. It really made my race so much easier. All of us PRd at this race! How awesome is that!

Today, I do not feel sore or tired~this goes to show, that my training is paying off.

Special thanx to my awesome husband and Spanx for your support!!!!!!!!!!

That evening the group met up at Eclipse de Luna (yum!) to meet Olgita's mom whom she has not seen in quite a few years. They both were glowing. I am so happy for both of them.
I pigged out. Keith said that he has never seen me eat that much before, I was starving!!!!!
The night went great, time good spent with awesome friends.

Ouch!!!!!

For some reason, today it hurts! Felt great running yesterday(great to see you, Spanx!) but today, yuck. 1 hr on the trainer felt like the Ironman (if i knew what that felt like, this would be it, pain, pain and more pain!) Of course, in my mind I am healing nicely, so will be heading back to the gym in the am. I think with all these wounds I will have the dreadmill all to myself and the 2 on each side. There is a positive side to everything!!!!

Sunday ride to Athens

Thank you Olgita and Hunter for cutting the ride short (40 miles) and hanging back with me. Pardon my slowness!
