History
I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.
Marathons Completed
Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

June 21, 2006

This morning was awesome. I got up in time this morning without hitting the snooze button. For me that is a miracle. Got my coffee and gym bag and headed out the door. I was in the pool by 6 am.

Swimming is getting easier I have to admit. I just wish the gym would get the endless pool running soon. Having to turn every 40 ft is getting to be a pain. Anyway, I was able to get in over 1000 yards. Now that is alot of laps. I felt pretty good but once again, when I think I am getting my form down I have to stop and turn. that is really frustrating.
After getting out of the pool I got changed and got on the trail. This was a great run - my body feels really good this week. It's a little scary. Especially after putting all the miles I have put in after the Marathon without really getting a break like I should have. Mentally I feel alot stronger after having to push so hard at the marathon in the heat. I feel that I am able to mentally push throught the pain more than I have ever in the past.
This weekend's triathlon is coming up quickly. I am feeling really excited about this. I thought I was getting nervous but I now think that it isn't nervousness but anxiousness about doing it. ---------God I Love This Sport-------
