woohoo!!!!

The end of 2009 is upon us--- and what a wonderful year it has been. I've met some amzaing people, reconnected with old friends, work on my relationships with my family, gone out on several limbs at work with my ideas and opinions (some went over well, some did not). I've tried new things, I've been disciplined and worked hard and had great results. And, I've been a slacker, slowed down, enjoyed life and having no real plan. Overall, it's been a successful year. I've learned a lot about myself and the people around me that I love, and who I can count on to the end.

2010 will be another fabulous year. I've got a couple big plans already set in stone. Two trips. One for an amazing several days of fun (VEGAS!!!!). One for racing and testing my strength. Physically, mentally and emotionally. Ironman CDA 2010 will be much better than 2008. First of all, I know what I'm up against. I know I can do it. No matter how much it hurts (and oh geez, IT WILL HURT), how long the day seems, it can be done. Also, I have more people coming to watch me. In 2008 it was just my mom, aunt and cousin- and those tracking me online throughout the day across the country (love you Cali, Ohio, Florida and Pitt). This year my sister and her two girls want to be there, my mom, my cousin, two of my roommates, a couple friends from the area. I'll have my own little cheering section. I might have to get t-shirts! Hmmm, I like polka-dots!! lol.

caught!!

uh oh!!! i've been caught!! people have been reading my blog that i didn't really know they knew it existed! oh well! it is what it is, and sometimes the best way for me to open up and share how i'm feeling. no unsolicited advice or feedback, just time to bare my soul

Back from Boston

I got back Saturday night from two weeks in the Boston area for work. Yuck!!!! I only got four runs in while I was there, we were working so hard for such long hours. Ugh. On the other hand, it was a lot of overtime pay! Wheee! That'll pay for my Vegas trip that Philip and I booked for March just before I left.

However, those two weeks killed me. I'm feeling so lazy. The weather is terrible, it's always dark outside, and even though it's the holidays I'm miserable, sad and lonely.

I'm excited to go running wiht Phil's dog on Christmas though!

I'll get back on track soon, I have to! Ironman is in six months and five days!!!
