BUT DO I HAVE TOO

Yes Jaci, you do need to workout. Remember....

1) You have a bad heart

2) You have already had many TIA's

3) You are a ticking time bomb waiting to have a massive stroke- according to ER Doctor Know-it-all trying to scare me into taking better care of myself

4) You feel much sexier when you do

5) You are a mentally better person when you do (AKA: I don't yell at the kids)

6) You eat better

7) You feel better all round

8)  You can keep up with your kids

9) You go to bed on time

10) You start the day out with purpose

11) You  look younger

12) You don't have to wear spanks with everything

13) You can eat a treat and not feel it on your butt the next day

14) You can run the marathon you want to run

15) You have family history of obesity

OK, so I think I know what I need to do....go to bed early, wake up and drag my butt out of my warm bed and WORK OUT!

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT EATING......

Don't even think about eating ......that candy (that the great pumpkin(me) confiscated from the boys), the cupcakes (that look so yummy), the Hagermans Cookies (that have the best frosting in the world). DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!

Ok, so it is ok to have a yummy treat for the day, but not to sit around and snack on it all day like you are a starved prisoner or war who was just released into a bakery/candy shop.

So what to do...Pack up the kids and take them on a hike up the canyon. We even took Bruno. He was in heaven, but the car is now looking like a mud wrestling contest took place in it. Wow...How do three little boys and a dog attract soooo much mud.

Well there you have it I have warned myself. Maybe I can trick myself into thinking that it is all poisoned.

IronGirls 2010

Best Girls weekend EVER!!! So me and my fabulous friends went to Las Vegas and did the IronGirl Triathlon, and then we spent the rest of the time laying by the pool and shopping.



My Sister,Mom and Madi hit Tony and Tina's wedding while we were there and it was so funny. So I have to give a shout out to all my Girls who finished strong.



CAT-LA-MINDY-MADI-ALEX-NISH-MELISSA You girls ROCKED IT!!!

November 7

November 7 Markes the first day of training for Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon. I am going to do the half and I want to finish in 1 hour and 50 min. I am for the second time, working on my nutrition. If doing IronMan tought me one thing (ok so it tought me a lot) is that nutrition is so important. I hope to drop some pounds/ body fat before the race. I am using my bodybugg and tracking EVERYTHING that I put into my pie hole. Yes today was EXTRA hard, it is Halloween. So I will not beat myself up, but I can't treat everyday like it is a holiday. Todays workout was a 4mile run at a 9min mile on the treadmill. I felt so much better after this run. I was on one today with Jason (poor guy). It is amazing to me what a run can do. It is like the song "if you chance to meet a frown do not let it stay......RUN and turn it upside down and smile the day away" Ok, so I added a word.

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.
