can we make it? YES WE CAN!

We are almost there! We just need to make it through the thanksgiving turkey - 2 weeks - and we are there... SO how do I get those who haven't paid to pay up? Are they in ... Or out at this point?

TURKEY TRIATHLON!

I finished! What a rewarding feeling that is! I am usually a slacker when it comes to follow through... (organizing closets, fixing jewelry, weeding the garden... to name a few) However, this was something that I felt I worked hard and it paid off! I found myself LOVING training for this race! I started not being able or willing to run my 3.2-mile loop at all - but by the end found myself looking forward to running it. What a fun event - my coach (Robyn) promised she would do one with me sometime... Thanks for all of the support from Robyn, my husband, and my family!

Downhill Slope

Post a few pictures... of what - my bum jiggling! hahahaha!


I am on the downhill slope! The race is this Saturday - St.George is going to be COLD - but it beats doing a tri in the snow. Last night I thought it would be a good idea to take the family along for my run - the kids in the stroller - and dad on the bike... BAD idea! I forget that my loving husband does not like to excercise for "fun". Robyn did the same 3.2 lap last week with me - no complaits -  But James - whew! I heard it the entire way leaving me with a lonely night daydreaming about the weekend to come.

work out = soreness

I tried a new work out with our Wii "Active" this week. I didn't realize that doing a lunge could have such painful after effects. I guess that means that I'm really, really out of shape.

On a positive note, I ran about a mile on Friday (down hill) and it actually felt good. No gasping for air, no hamstring pulls, just a little jiggle in the trunk and had to hold down the girls in front. But I made it. I just wish I could watch Holly swim, bike and run in St.George. Will someone post a few pictures on the blog so I don't miss yet another family event?

Candy, Candy, Candy

I can't help myself. If I see it, I eat it.
And we have CANDY all over the place.
If I see it, I eat it.
I have NO will power, None.
How is everyone else doing?
Let the Holiday lbs begin.
Argh!
