Here's Hoping...

Tonight I'm supposed to swim laps, I skipped last week. Boo!
I'm not feeling it at all these days. I don't know why the excitement has declined.

I officially registered for the 5k on August 9th. And I found out that there's a wedding I MUST attend on August 23rd, so I'm not going to be doing a triathlon this year, I think. I want to do one before I turn 35, I just got so excited that I wanted to do one right away. I'm only going to be 29 on August 2nd so I have some time to get one done.

I've been volunteering and earning credits so I'll be able to do a couple next year for free!

Finally!

I mailed off my first ever ATCs for my first ever "stranger" swap! When they've received them, I'll post photos.
I got one of two of the ones I'm to receive. That's a cumbersome sentence! I haven't taken photos yet, though. (:

i'm not calling it quits, but...

I think I'm officially not doing the triathlon on august 2nd as planned. I'm now shooting for a smaller one called a "super-sprint" tri on August 23rd.

There's a 5k on August 9th that I'm interested in, too! If you pay $50 to register you get a SkirtSport package that includes:

Register before July 26th and opt for the SkirtSport Upgrade for $50 where your entry includes either a pink GymGirl or MarathonGirl (retail value of $50)
See http://www.skirtsports.com/shop/running-skirts.cfm

How cool would that be? I've looked at their gear and it looks cool. Can't wait until I'm skinny enough to pull that look off! (:

Anyone else free on August 9th and want to race with me?

lefoo, i'm afraid i've been thinking...

"a dangerous past time."
"i know, but that wacky old coot is Belle's father and his sanity's only so-so"

Anyways... (those lines are from Disney's Beauty and the Beast)
I pulled out a bike and rode it a mile or two yesterday. That was nice. I don't know how I'm going to swim .5 mile when i can barely swim 25 yards! and bike 16 miles when i can barely bike 2 miles! and run a 5k when i can barely walk for 15 minutes!

I'm crazy. I hope it all falls into place.

I'm trying, I really am...

I'm trying to make this blog easier to use so I'll update on it more often. Xanga is just so much easier!

soooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... joam and i took off for a week to Yellowstone and other places north of here. Lots of fun!

i volunteered at a triathlon yesterday and it was amazing. seeing those people just killing themselves! i still want to do a triathlon but it is getting scarier the closer it gets to the start!

new swim schedule: monday nights in elk grove, wed & fri mornings in Galt. I've gotta step up training to actually doing SOMETHING! it's not like the races where you can just walk them. i've gotta build up some sort of endurance.

today's my day off! woo-hoo! yesterday was too, but i woke up at 6am to go volunteer so it doesn't count. i had so much fun volunteering that i'm going to do it as much as i can. i don't have to wake up so early, i found out. as i live only ten minutes from where the races are held. AND i get a $40 voucher each time!

ok. check out the left side of my page and read some snippets of my favorite blogs and check them out.
