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

Why do I Tri?

Should be why do I want to Tri? I want to see just how far I can push myself. With everyday I am in the best shape of my life. And I'm never going back!!!!

Disappointed :-(

February 14, 2007

Well I am a little depressed this morning.

The awesome Abs/Gluts class was cancelled last night.

Get over it, right!

I did get in 50 minutes this morning on the trainer. The weather outside was not conducive to riding outdoors. Windchill below zero and snow on the ground. I can just imaging the depression I would be in if I lived in northern New York. 11 feet of snow - are you kidding me. There will not be any outdoors bike riding until mid summer up there.

The Trainer was less than exciting as usual. I tried to get motivated to push myself hard but that was just a moment of motivation. I struggled to stay on it as long as I did. I have got to get outside more. I see improving weather for the weekend - I hope to ride Saturday or Sunday.

Tomorrow I'll get in the gym and do my run. Unless the weather is improving overnight. I would rather run outside and get my hillwork done.

I have to find a new first Triathlon for this spring - the Commerce City Spring Sprint is cancelled for this year. Every spring Tri I have found has been cancelled so far. What's up with that. So this afternoon I will sit down and start doing searches for another triathlon to make my first for this year. I have to get out there and race to get the spirit started. For now, I'll just keep Tri'ing

Sorry to hear the class was cancelled. Hopefully, you'll get your chance again soon. Nice work on the trainer, though, way to stick with it. Here's to better weather for you over the weekend...
