Oh My...Andi, where did you find such a race?  What are you trying to tell us?  Too many "jiggly things" in a naked race...I don't think I could stomach it!   I have a visual in my head that is just not right!  Thanks Andi!!!

AAAACCCCKKKK!!! Get it out of my head!!!! I don't think I could handle that....the swim would probably be fine, the bike would be painful at best, and the run - umm - I just don't want to even think about it!  I'm self-conscious enough in my tri-suit and at least I have some support with that. That's swinging a little free for me!!!

Well, the plan for me is to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate for the 25K this weekend.  I've only been running.  Next week, I'll get back on the bike and learn to swim properly.  I have about 10 weeks until my next scheduled tri.  It's on the same course I did in May, so I would really like to shave off some time.

Have a great time at Harry Potter...my kids are still too young, bummer!  Good Luck on your 70 mile ride with fresh hot wheels! 

Plans for this weekend: Tonight - a much-needed date with the dh (movie and dessert/coffee). Tomorrow, a longish bike ride in the morning before it gets too hot and maybe a run in the evening to make up for the one that I missed earlier this week.  Sunday is a rest day!!

Good luck on the run! Can't wait to hear how you do....it's always nice to run the same course more than once.  Gives you more of an "apples to apples" comparison of how you're doing.  Let us know!

Hi Everyone!  I survived!!!  It was a great race.  I  actually ran the entire 25K!  I posted my race report for all to see.  I'm running on fumes right now.  Got to bed at 4:30am.  Woke up at 8am, drank some coffee, read the paper.  By 10am I was mowing the lawn while husband edged.  I think I'm "high" from the adventure!  Husbands taking the kids swimming so I can take a nap and then I have a reflexology and pedicure scheduled for this afternoon. (and I'm having a nice chilled glass of wine to go with it!) 

YIPPEE!!!  I love accomplishments!  

Christine, excellent ride!  What an accomplishment that your friend noticed you riding faster and stronger!  Keep up the great workouts! 

Rich, I hope your having a good week and everything on the ole body is feeling well.  No more road rashes!

I went to the gym this morning for some much needed yoga, and my class was cancelled due to launching a new class.  I was bummed.  Because I was in my flip flops and yoga gear I decided to leave and go shopping.  Doens't that constitute working out?  I did have to walk the mall with 2 young children.  Anyways, I will try to make a yoga class tonight...maybe!  Have a good one!   

Felipe, the race was awesome.  It all began because the race director(who's an ultramarathoner) wanted to celebrate his 30th birthday with a 30 mile run!  It's too hot in Tex to do it during the day so that's how the midnight run was born.  He found sponsors to help him organize the race and got city permits, etc.  It was such a success, they plan on organizing another 25k/50k for next year.  The 3.1 mile loop was great,  We mostly ran on trails through the woods.  It was quite dark in places and w/o headlamps, we would gotten lost!  We also ran next to the Trinity river which was flowing.  Hearing the rapids next to us was fabulous.  I had a great time!  People lined the course, drinking beer, and rooting for us at 2 AM!  Just crazy!

RICH - have a fantastic race!!!  We can't wait to hear how you kick everyone else's tail!!!Good luck, and I'll be thinking of you.....

Caru - thanks for asking - yes, I'm still losing weight, though I'm losing more in inches right now.  I had about three weeks in there where I didn't do much weight training at all and I lost some muscle, so I'm putting that back on. That's got my weight plateaued out this week, but I haven't gone up more than one pound.  On the bright side, I went jeans shopping yesterday and ended up in a pair two sizes smaller than my last pair!  That pretty much made my month.

EVERYONE - what's on tap for everyone for the rest of this week and the weekend? When are the next races for folks? I feel like I've lost track of who's doing what when and all that stuff - guess I've been a little hit and miss myself lately.

Love you guys!
