funny.  its always 'dead' on Fridays at our Y.

i HATE it after the holidays.  it makes me CRAZY.

god bless all the people and their new years resolutions but when they're hoggin up lap lanes and TMs GRRRRR.

it usually takes about 2-3 mos before they start clearing out.

and i hear ya on the 5:30 AM workouts.  BEST time to be there.....just im just as foolish as you.

skrtrnr - 2009-11-09 12:57 PM ME, BEFORE....NOVEMBER 2006

skrtrnr - 2009-11-09 1:01 PM ^^^ aw yes.  me, in all my before i transformed my life, 'glory'....

its good to remember.

but 'painful' in a way too.

i remember me then. 

i hope (in some ways) i never ever forget.

but then, on the other hand, that person is total stranger to me.

and my life NOW is so far removed from who i was before.

the truth of who i am now is so different.

skrtrnr - 2009-11-09 9:52 AM i was just reminded when i went to the Y today, that i was a three years ago this week that i joined the Y....

i need to post the pic of how i looked back then.

the people at the front desk of the Y keep telling me that i look like a completely different person than the picture they have on file/the pic they took when i joined....

AND....

one of the personal trainers at the Y has known me for years - before i joined the Y.

she pulled me aside today and told me that she pointed me out as a role model to one of her personal training clients (she works 1-1 w people at the Y)

she said the woman has been really struggling w sticking w her routine, and losing weight, and just really down on herself.

K. said she pointed me out to her, and told her how i used to be 'just like' her, and how i stuck w the plan and kept working out, and to look at me, how fit and athletic i am. 

she told her how i ran a 1/2 mary this weekend (K. ran the same race and SMASHED the course, took 6th place in her age group and shes not even a 'runner' yeah right.  LOL) and how ive been training for triathlons.

K. was so sweet, she said "SEE STACIE, YOU'RE A ROLE MODEL"

i started to tear up (seriously, i did)

again, to think that i inspire a single soul, is just truly humbling/amazing to me.

i hope this woman sticks w the journey long enough to begin to see her life transform.

its an amazing journey.

My body and I are failing to find the humor with 70 degree weather and no bike riding Ann (j/k)

This reply pertains to all of your posts today. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

There is no way in the world you could be the Queen of the Ghoulie Village if you didn't ROCK!

You are an inspiration to more people than you will ever know.

So when are you bringing the family for an educational trip to Gettysburg?

x2 

It was 70 degrees here yesterday and I spent an hour and a half jogging in the pool.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-09 1:46 PM BTW - Hello Ann or should I go with or maybe so my dreams stop or at least change subjects!

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-09 2:03 PM

Thanks Ann.  I was really joking around.  I am pretty good with it right now - just boring doing the same 4 things every day (elliptical, weights, swim, aqua jog).  I like variety but will HTFU for 3 more weeks - Half way there!

Feels like puberty lately - that is all.  I think I went through it already before
