Got my wetsuit--commited now!

Look at you go! Those pix are so cool! You are going to love Slow Fat Triathlete (SFT). Although you probably already know everything she talks about, but you'll laugh right along with her.

I want to do a tri in Lake Geneva, WI next fall. They have a 1/2IM up there. I am thinking I'll do the Oly distance next fall, to check it out. Much more hilly than anything I've yet done, so I hear. Also a cold lake. That's why I got the full suit. My friend N. wants to do the marathon with me next year, and I don't want to train for/do my first 1/2 IM followed 5 weeks later by a marathon. Maybe it would be fine, but it seems over-ambitious. So I'll do the Oly Lake Zurich tri mid-August, the Oly Lake Geneva tri mid-Sept, and the Chicago Marathon 10/22. Whoo-hoo! I must be an athlete!

I bought (and figured out) a new scanner! Here's a picture of me at the end of the Chicago Marathon.

Thanks for sharing the pix. You'll pick up the training again soon. One day, while you're saying, "whah, I don't wanna train!" you'll be pulling on your shorts and shoes and bra and shirt and heading out the door. Don't give up.
