Another year under the belt

YES! We did it! The half was great as Dorothy has already described.
hahaha ...yes, I did leap out of bed at the alarm. haha sigh
Yes, we did start in the last corral, yes we did stop an officer for directions,
but...
YES WE DID FINISH!!! WOO HOO!
A girl in front of us actually quit because her blisters were hurting.
Like Dorothy's shirt said: FINISHING = WINNING!
It was a great day, and even though I didn't train for about the last month due to being sick, I felt pretty well afterward. Sore and a couple little blisters (nothing like Dorothy's and nothing like last year's Marla). And it was FUN!! I took lots of pics along the way of Columbus, I need to post them if I can figure out how. haha
Today, almost a week later I went to the gym and did a full workout and I sweated through my shirt and it felt great!
A quick 5min on the bike to warm up,
My seven exercises-done twice,
then 30 min on the treadmill!
Yay!
I'm hoping I can keep this up regularly over the winter months.
This coming winter has been named the 'Winter of Work' in my house.
We are dedicating it to working hard and making money AND for me working in the gym too!
I have a goal and I really want to finally reach it since distractions like school and *hopefully boards will be done my then. My schedule at work is set. I counted. I work 12 days in Nov and 18 in Dec. PLENTY of time to get my booty to the gym for one hr a day. That's *really not much.

But anyway... I loved the half much better than a full. I can say, I've done a full and that's good enough for my bucket list. I want to do a half or two next year, just need to figure out which ones... Maybe the Columbus again. It was a lovely fall event. What do ya think Dorothy?

  1. Ooooh, make this a tradition?? I think maybe!

    We know where to stay, the weather was beautiful, no horrible hills, quite accessible (in terms of transportation). Sounds like a good idea to me!!!

    And it will not get in the way of the Quad Cities or Illinois. Hmmm, I just might need to do some planning.
