First of all - I ran 4 miles yesterday at a sub 10 min. mile pace...boo-ya! I think the mid 50 degree weather is my ideal temperature. It also felt like it was mostly downhill but whatever...it counts. Again, let me say BOO-YA! I was super stoked....after I ran I watched Bill pitch an amazing baseball game. Seriously he is so cute in his baseball uniform....I should have taken a picture. Next time......
This morning was Master's Swim - I got in 1800 yds. Not showing off - not falling behind. I'm supposed to stay within the 1800 - 2000 yds range.... I felt strong today. Maybe it has something to do with my good run yesterday.
I've decided I"m going to wait on the Garmin..... I know I know but my polar is working just fine and the bike shop price is outrageous. Thank you
Lesley, Amber and
Crystal for your recommendations - I'll be sure to check out those places! (Plus it gives me a reason to go to Costco)
Day 14 of the Challenge - A picture I love......
I love this picture because this was the first time Bill saw me race. It was a great race for me but more importantly I loved crossing the finish line and seeing his face. He gave me a BIG SWEAT HUG AND KISS and I melted instantly. I would race everyday to see that look on his face of pride and instantly knowing that he believed in me. I could find more pictures that I "like" better (as far as how we look) but this picture takes the cake for me. In 2009 when we were broken up and I had started triathlon I always wished he was there.... I had waited a long time for this moment..... I love him and although being apart was probably the best thing we could have done at the time - being back together now is so wonderful. He is my best friend, my rock, my companion, my love....I love you honey :) Thank you for always supporting me, always believing in me (even when I don't believe in myself), always kissing hugging and telling me you love me (sweaty and non-sweaty), you are the best and I couldn't do this without you!
Very sweet!! There is something about having someone there to congratulate you in all your sweaty glory at the end of a race that must feel pretty amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the garmin - I totally want one, but I totally don't want the cost!!
Perhaps Bill reads your blog and will put a special little package under the tree. ;-)
ReplyDelete17 days until White Rock!
I am with Lesley, I am sure that Bill knows what he MUST do in Xmas time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of a very nice moment.
Yesterday running, today swimming and ... tomorrow biking?
Anyway I changed my layout.
