ironannekidd - 2010-04-01 5:01 AM Can you do it Ghoulies!!!

Swim 2.4 miles this month
Bike 112 miles this month
Run 26.2 miles this month

I think that YOU CAN!

Hi everybody.

I should be able to get one with maybe some extra in this month. I have my sprint this weekend (nervous as all get out!). Then the rest of my weekends (when I do my longer workouts) this month are pretty busy, but this will give me a goal.

Easter Weekend - what a weekend for a tri.

You'll do GREAT DEE! You have an entire VILLAGE pulling for you!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I thought Easter weekend was kind of odd too. At least it is Saturday morning. It is 3 hours away, so we will go spend Friday night there and then drive home Saturday afternoon. At least I am not hosting Easter dinner! LOL

I'm already cooking a big dinner. Just bring your family over to my house!

Thanks!

I just received my start time for this weekend. The swim is in a pool. There will be 5 swimmers in my lane at my start time. Supposedly we all have similar estimated swim times. Circle swim I assume. Hope I remember to switch sides of the lane! I have never done circle. I have only shared the lane with one other person at a time, and we split the lane. I assume that if someone wants to pass, they will tap the person's feet and then that person will pause at the end of the lane? Can you tell I am stressing?

ironannekidd - 2010-04-01 10:36 AM I just ordered this because 1) I needed a new tri suit and 2) it matches my bike

HOT hot hot hot

You have a helmet that matches, right?

X3!!! Smokin' !!!

Yep. Helmet is red and white, that is the color of my road bike. Cycling shoes are silver, black, and red.

skrtrnr - 2010-04-01 9:16 AM i took the wellness quiz on the wellcoach.com website. i dunno know there was something so affirming about the statements...i thought i would share:

1. I believe that I am crafting a life that has meaning and a sense of purpose – it’s a work of art.	100%

2. I put high octane fuel (healthful foods) in my tank most of the time to keep my energy and performance high.	100%

3. I exercise my body with vigor more days than not so that I’m fit and strong and ready for whatever life throws my way.	100%

4. I smile to myself when faced with stresses and roadblocks and say “I can handle this.”	80%

5. I keep my energy high from morning to night, so I am rarely too tired for ANYTHING.	80%

6. I have a positive and optimistic can do outlook - I believe that I can accomplish whatever I set my mind and body to do.	80%

7. I am the boss of my weight – I feel in charge and competent.	100%

8. I am always on the lookout for ways to say thank you and do good deeds that aren’t expected.	100%

9. I plan and control my finances so they don’t control me.	80%

10. I watch for any emerging obsessions or addictions (e.g. email, Internet, being right, smoking, drinking, drugs, work, exercise, eating, gambling, shopping); if they arise I work diligently on overcoming them, getting help if I need it.	100%

11. I am responsible when it comes to getting medical tests, seeking medical advice, and managing any health issues.	100%

12. I make time regularly to recharge my batteries and have fun.	100%

13. I work hard to connect with people and build great relationships.	100%

14. I appreciate that life brings pain and I seek help when needed to process undigested life issues, harvesting the wisdom and strength they endow.	100%

15. I understand that my life`s journey is to strive to be my best by: developing my strengths, continually learning, and viewing setbacks as the biggest growth opportunities of all.	100%

Overall	95%

For the top 3 questions you could have had 110-115% easy.

aw. thats really nice of you to say.

i really liked this quiz. i think it did a really good job of 'boiling' down the major areas of wellness....course....thats what the quiz is SUPPOSED TO DO. LOL.

its on the wellcoach.com website if any of you GHOULIES want to see just how WELL you are.

i guess its an assessment that their coaches use w their clients.

although circle swimming takes a little getting used to at first, DEE.

you'll do just fine.

expect to get bump just a tad, and elbow or an arm....nothing major.

faster swimmers know to go around you. in a pool they will swim to the center of the lane, passing you on your left,

just let them do their thing, it will be their 'responsibility to get around you 'responsibly' ie not infringing on your space/stroke.

as for YOU, pay them no mind and just keep swimming.

Honey if I could organize my life I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in.

I do have a VERY clean house now thanks to 2 SIL's who were there yesterday. They did everything but my bedroom and closet. I worked on the closet earlier this year, still needs a little attention though.

Right now my desk and dresser need drastic attention

I do have to go through the kids dressers as well. Maybe on Tuesday evening when the kids aunt is over with them I can get them to work on that a little. She can get my kids to do more in an hour than I can get them to do in 8. She always tells me it's because she's the aunt and I'm the mom.

Here is this morning's Kim Skim:

Ann is going to look HAWT in her new red/black and a hint of white tri-suit. She is also waiting to hear back about her interview but the govt is slow. (although if she wore the tri-suit to the interview she might have been hired on the spot.)

Stacie is going to be a great lifecoach and have a so sweet spring cleaned house

Dee is going to rock the pool and the race overall this weekend.

Robin also is going to rock her 10k and spring clean outside.

Bill is gearing up for TransIowa.

I think this is enough for Neal, Melindy and Tom to catch up on the first half of today. Ghoulie slap me if I missed anything.

Oh, and I think duct tape is the best invention ever. I have a roll in my transition bag. A roll in the garage. And a roll in a kitchen drawer. The best ever.
