Feeling Ready...

I love this point in training when you start putting in the long hours and you start to realize that you are going to make it through the race. I just hope that my cute Bruno makes it through all my training. The silly dog dose not know when to call it quits, I run and then come back to drop him off so I can finish out my mileage, but no he will not have any bit of that he has to go and he pushes himself and he pushes me. I'm getting exited for Ironman. Last year during this same month I found out that I had white mass on my brain and later on found out that I had a heart that was not fully functioning. Next month will mark the one year anniversary of my heart surgery and with in the month I will be pushing myself to limits that I never have. I guess this is my way of saying "take that" Ironman here I come.

JUST DO IT!!!

In my friend Mindys newsletter her quote of the week was Just do it. with the Olympics around it is such an inspiration to my workouts. Yesterday there was a skier who stated that he gets up every morning to work hard because he knows that his brother with CP can not. I think of the body that I have been blessed with and think why would I ever have a day that I would not put my whole heart into everything that I do. So my motto this week DO IT...

Rock and Roll Arizona

So the last Vincent Crew adventure was out in sunny Arizona. The boys ran the kids run (yes they were so sick, but did there best). Jason, Vanisha, Madi and I all ran the half marathon. Preston was the only crazy man who took on the full. We had fun, but it was way to short. Drive in Run and Drive out. I was exited with my 2hour time and Jason ran his best half yet.

Rock and Roll in 2:00:46

Rock and roll was great for me this year. I made my goal of being in right at the 2 hour mark. I am trying to stay healthy through the winter and I am finding that I am getting everything the kids come home with. This is becoming a challenge with my workout schedule. I am still looking forward to ironman, but know that it is time to tighten everything up. It is GO TIME BABY!!! Wow I am so exited.

18 Weeks Untill IronMan

I am now starting to train hard. I am loving it. Jo and Dave are my trainers and both of them kick my butt. Dave is a swim coach from the dark side who has no mercy, i love it. And Jo is the sweetest looking little lady on the outside but rocks my world with her killer workouts. She has become my muse. She is most likely in her 50's and still rocking Iron Man Kona. Plus she skis everyday. The new year is here and it is nice to not have to put, get in shape on my list. I am in great shape and as long as I can keep my heart and brain from giving me fits I will be great. I am so motivated right now and looking forward to Arizona Rock and Roll Marathon.

Day 2 of Iron Man Training

I am in day 2 of training and things are going great. I am highly motivated. I wish that I did not have this lingering cold. It was a wake up on how important it is for me to stay healthy and not get sick. I have gotten my flumist and I am waiting for my H1N1 mist (one of the perks of working for the manufacture). I love my new swim coach he is great at pushing me and improving my stroke. I have only had one session with Jo my tri coach, she seems great. This is the first time I have ever had a coach, I am exited to work with her.

Back to the Basics

Today- The goal is to eat well (like a adult) and to get a work out in. I can check off workout I ran this morning and I am now off to make a yummy bowl of oatmeal. Yes I am at my all time fatness and hatting every Minute
of it. It ends TODAY!
