RNR- I think I remember you posting about that.. And yeah, it's HARD to put yourself out there like that. Esp. with the kids wanting to help YOU.. Your like hmmpphh.. Shouldn't -I- be the one training YOU?? How did this happen?? ha ha

Oh and KSH- my 100 time today was a whopping 2:25!! I have a LOONNNGGG way to go! But I'll get there dang it!

Over the last year I've steadily been improving. As Natascha Badman has said "I'm taking little tiles (training tid bits) and making a mosaic." I hope to have a beautiful mosaic by race day in 08.

My goals that I'm working towards...
Get at least 35 lbs off. I'm down 14, so 21 more to go..

Vastly improve my swim time- working on that

Get to a 17 mph average for the 112 mi distance. - May be a lofty goal, but I'm close. Tho I haven't held that over the long haul yet.

Be able to RUN at least 90% of the marathon. - That is going to be more mental for me than anything. I always run FINE in training, then rce day I get on the marathon and my stomach goes and I just wuss out. This year I will have my husband with me, and my running coach is racing as well. With a 3 loop course you run into people a lot! So I know I'll have them keeping an eye on me. Wont be as easy to wimp out and walk..
