I think I lose my stomach when I put the wetsuit on... maybe. Or I'm just better about sucking it in.

Awe thanks for the compliments ladies. Oddly, I have always hated my legs.

But when I looked at the flim of us racewalking, I noticed that my legs were solid without any fat giggling on them. I thought, "WOW! I got some nice legs there."

I'm not trying to sound concieted... because trust me... I have HATED MY LEGS since I was like 12 years old. The fact that I can even say I have some nice looking legs is me coming a long way with my body image.

Hey... check me out... shoot... at 35 years old... it's few and far between that I get anyone checking me out! HA!


Flat Kate... where did she go? Not really sure. Her Grandmother (the Ironsherpa's Mom) was the one taking her places. She was in Texas with the Grandmother and was sent back to New York at the end of May.

I thought it was a really awesome assignment for a kid. Although, whomever was given the "flat version" did all the work.

Awesome training month. You'll be ready for IMKY in no time. Just take care of your knee.

Oh, and I agree with the others - you are looking like an Ironman! And as a side note, your place doesn't look that bad in comparision to mine. Right now I have the excuse of moving, but I usually don't.

I am in total awe. those are some amazing numbers and accomplishments.

Wow, I'm completely exhausted just reading all of your training. You seriously rock though, and I'm so impressed.

This might be a random question but what time are you going to bed each night if you are getting up each morning at 5:30? I can only imagine that all that training is especially tiring plus the early morning rise time.

Thanks for the compliments. Honestly, I'm probably not doing any more... and in fact probably less... than some other amazing ladies have done around here.


I try to get in bed by 9:30 PM every night. It's still hard to wake up at 5:30.

Then today I didn't have to train in the AM... and I was at work by 7:45 AM, and I wasn't even rushing or anything! I'm just too use to getting up early I guess. I even woke up before the alarm went off at 6:45 AM.

Some days I am tired. But my body has adpted pretty well to everything, amazingly enough.


Then last night I'm laying in bed and I realized that my journey to Ironman is almost over! Only 3 months left! It's just so odd that it's almost here. I signed up August 2007... and here I am nearing the end.
