Hello 23....

The last week of being 22 was hell. In general, I've never been so glad for a week to end in my entire life and there is no real reasons for that feeling other than I was just over it completely. Excited about the new adventures that 23 will bring and the goals that will be met in this year that will trump all the others. Turning 23 did lead to some butter pecan cheesecake consumption, along with Mexican food, dark chocolate gelato, and a few drinks. Probably not the best decision but it is now out and we are back on the right track.

Aerial yoga on Sunday was AMAZING! For some reason I get this unremarkable feeling of power and strength when I do aerial yoga. I LOVE it! It gives me a different kind of challenge than what I'm training for, it is a mental, balance, soul challenge.

It's Tuesday and out of shear desperation I share some of my deepest, heartfelt thoughts for today. Life is precious. I appreciate this sport because it keeps me healthy, it keeps my mom healthy, it gives my family inspiration to be healthy. I appreciate the time our readers take to take care of their minds, bodies, and souls. Your health is so important. Your heart health is important. As I pounded on someone's lifeless body this morning I had my deepest talk with Jesus. I prayed for him, I prayed for his family, I prayed that the Lord would please just let this man come to life here on the floor. Today's experience gives me a restored drive to make this world a healthier, heart conscious place. You are your heart, body, and souls keeper. You are your bodies best friend or worst enemy. When exercising and eating healthy seems hard and not worth it to you, think of your family, so it for them. Think of your spouse, your mom, your kids, think of whatever drives you to be better and make the decision for them. You can do anything! I will help you do anything!

Make yourself better for you today.....

The Inaugural Crystal Coast Tri - FULL BOOTY

Full Booty race report. The weather reports all week had stated we would have substantial winds and possible thunderstorms. We had all of that. I had lots of friends doing this race. That was great and we shared some great pre-race time together.  This is also the first race we have had family (other than my youngest daughter) at. That was different!  I think I should share a little pre-race. Jill with the race knew me by first name in March. I need a lot of information to ease my mind and make my plan. She was wonderful. We had been told there would be certain nutritional items on the course but what we were told was very limited.  Soooo plan B was initiated.... Team SPAZ members (my sister and youngest daughter) were recruited for run stop #7 between mile 9 & 10. They were stocked with baby wipes, Kleenex, chicken broth, pickles, jelly beans and pickle juice. Now I feel better and have something to run too. Race day The Swim: 33 or so of us enter the water ...

What the HIVES?!?!?!?!??

2 weeks prior to the Divas Half Marathon I began to notice a strange redness during one of my workouts. Then I realized it was hives. The hives were only on my legs and mainly on my knees. I took some Benadryl that night. The next afternoon I had hives again. I went to the pharmacy and got some spray for the uncontrollable itching that you COULD NOT scratch or the result would be a fire like sensation. I also got an allergy medicine I could take during the day. The next day was a long bike. No hives, no hives, no hives, 10 pm HIVES. What the heck???? So I stopped using Voltarin. Still had hives after 3pm everyday. Some days worse than other days. Ugggghhhhhh So Friday I shave, no hives, and get ready for the beach trip (Divas Half Marathon Myrtle Beach). We get to the beach and I changed into pajamas and BAD HIVES. I notice they do not go above mid thigh. I don't shave above mid thigh.... Hummmmm I wonder. Well I didn't shave any all weekend. Got a PR for the Half Marathon. Bo...

Ever feel like.... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well that feeling kicks in this week as we start to write out the plan that we officially begin on Monday. We are writing this plan on top of our current Marathon Training Plan schedule. On top of that basketball begins for Danielle this week and will be 2-3 days a week. And life still happens. If you try to think more than one week ahead it gets overwhelming, so for now I will stick to thinking one week at a time and sometimes one day at a time! In actuality the beginning of the 140.6 Triathlon training plan is less than we have been doing recently, but with the Marathon Training Plan thrown into that mix it is not really giving us any decrease. Here's to our kick off!! 1/23/2017 the plan begins!!
