Christ is risen!
Last night hubby and I stopped in to a bookstore, where I started looking at training logs for athelets. I love the idea of these books, and when thumbing through I hope to find pearls of wisedom without having to buy the book. One such pearl said to always have two training goals, a speed or PR (personal record) goal, and an endurance goal. While I haven't ever aspired to be fast, I did know what I wanted my next big event to be.
So I bit the bullet tonight and I signed up for my next BIG event. I'll be doing the 'half-extreme' distance because there are copyright infringement rules about calling something a half ironman. Lucky for me it's not until September, because after the way I forked in all sorts of fatty and yummy foods this weekend I'll really be needing to work on the preserve your joints diet I was on.

spring cleaning?
So I googled spring cleaning today. Mainly because it's snowing in Chicago- I wanted to go for a long run on Saturday, but I don't want to be cold and wet. I was thinking that cleaning could count for decent exercise- but have you seen the lists some freaks have out there on what spring cleaning should include!?
Seriously, does anyone really do spring cleaning? Is it just some antiquated concept that my grandmother practiced, that no one does anymore, like darning socks?

it's been a while
Hi There!
Work has slowed down.
I'm not training for any major event.
So I haven't had much to blog about lately.
The only thing that I'm working on right now is my recommitment to Weight Watchers. Yup, I re-enlisted. I feel good about my size and shape, but when I started kicking around ideas about what events I wanted to do this summer I realized that in order to be a faster runner, and if I was even going to play with the idea of doing a longer triathlon that I would need to take some impact of my joints (hello knees!). Blogging about my diet seems lame, but perhaps it'll keep me accountable. In the last five weeks I've lost 4.8 pounds, my target is just to take off 18.
For those familiar with the intricacies of WW, I’m doing the flex plan. Core is similar to how I want to eat when I'm not dieting, but the week I tried core I gained. I'm going to stick with the counting points and writing what I eat down until I get bored or weary.
