The Ghoulie's: We Are Doing What We Are Loving December Challenge (Page 60)

I keep trying to do mine. I want to do Black Bear, not sure if I'm doing the sprint or Oly, the Hagerstown sprint that was my first tri last year, then I need to decide between 2 Oly's after that. I'm thinking of doing the Dewey Beach sprint, a friend had wanted me to do that with her last year, but we missed the deadline. I'll see if she wants to do it agian. I also want to do the Marine Corps Marathon on Oct 31.

I really had to juggle a lot around this year.  It didn't help that a couple of races changed weekends from last year so I have a few more conflicts.  Sad that I won't be doing 2 HIMs, but I guess that will leave more IM training time without having to taper and recover.

AND I just started to fit into my old clothes again....I'm going to wear my little skirt tonight for New Years!! WOOOO!!!

AFTERNOON GHOULIES.

the two mile swim.

is FRIGGIN IN THE BOOKS.

manohman was it EPIC.

i swear i felt every emotion possible throughout the course of it.  i seriously felt that it was a spiritual journey.  makes sense considering my life situation.

that said.  i made good time (though that wasnt the goal) and w the exception of stopping briefly to adjust my cap (seems like it always goes all whack the first few 100s...then its good to go...wtflip with that??) i swam CONTINUOUSLY FOR TWO WHOLE MILES.

WOOO HOOO FOR ME!

thanks for the gentle nudges this morning.  i'm sure i wouldve eventually made it there.

then i went to Pier One and got some uber zen swag for my space...im super silly excited.

i only bought what 'called' to me...what was interesting, i started picking individual pieces and bringing them to the counter, and then once i finished i realized WOW they all go together.  LOOK AT THAT!

i love when we let our hearts be our guide.

not sure ALL that 2010 holds for me, and theres one major transition to get through, but....

im thinking its gonna be a good year for me.

one thing i know for sure.

im gonna be better than fine.

aspeelma - 2009-12-31 12:16 PM You got that right! I still have 10 more pounds I'd like to lose. I'd be doing a 10 minute workout and saying ok now I can have some ________.

x2.      I ALREADY tend to do that, so if it was in the challenge, I would be in BIG trouble!  LOL

I really like the idea of building a challenge around some sort of HIM....just not quite sure what it would look like

i DID have a food reward afterwards, though it wasnt my intention (ah that word again...)

i treated myself to a Big Mac (though i took out one of the patties and the middle bun) and french fries.  and drum roll please.....a CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE.

though i only at about 10 fries and drank less than half of the kids sized milkshake.

i was seriously FULL even after that much food.
