Heidi – Yikes, doesn’t it always seem like the job gets bigger when you actually start doing it, lol? Me and DH would start a home project thinking “it’s a piece of cake” and end up spending twice as long on it!
Gayle – LOL, I actually keep a long of miles run yearly. So far in 2008, I’ve run 187.75 miles. I’ve actually figured out on paper how I could make the 2nd challenge AND my training work, so it’s definitely do-able. We’ll see how much more I want to lose after this challenge. As far as clothing goes, I layer. I wear a “coolmax” material long sleeve shirt, a terry cloth sweatshirt, and if it’s really cold….a light jacket on top of that too. If it gets warmer, I “de-layer” until I’m comfortable. For pants, I have a great pair of light “thermal” type running pants. They’re very light material but for some reason the wind doesn’t cut through them. I bought them at
www.roadrunnersports.com a couple of years ago….they’re made by Mizumu (sp?) I’ve about worn them out, lol!
Belinda – LOL, yeah when that song hits…it’s home free!
Rhonda – Thanks for the info! I missed the HSN sale, maybe I can pick a couple of them up off the swaps to try. Oh man, I want to join Coach Troy’s DVD a month club too! I can’t afford another monthly payment though, DH would kill me! I’m going to be biased and say Iron Girl Runerval (but only because I want that one too, lol!)
Ooops, here’s a list of the events I’m pretty sure I’m doing this year. I keep referring to them (you’ll be sick of me soon….ha,ha!)
1) March 15 - St. Patrick’s Day 10 Mile Race
2) April 27 – Bassman Spring Duathlon (Bass River, NJ) – Run 3.1 miles, Bike 29 miles, Run 3.1 miles
3) May 4th – NJ Marathon
4) July 6th – Philadelphia Women’s Triathlon (Sprint – 750m swim/17 mile bike/5k run)
5) Mid August (no date set yet) – Turkey Swamp 50k run
I’m still trying to find a place to swim (for training for the triathlon). So far my only choice is a community center about 10 miles from my house. I could buy a 3 month membership for about $100 (that would include the pool, aerobics, weight room, and yoga). I’m still trying to decide if it would be worth it.
