Running it out

Running out 2012 and running into 2013.... Love it.

Took 4 days off over holidaze from run bike swim & nearly went ape crazy. When I don't get that endorphin rush or sweat on, I get a bit wicked crabby. Took a hearty swim a few days ago and AHHHHHHH all better. Big run today also felt righteous. Lacing up tomorrow too.

Free Fall

Sooooooo excited to enjoy the exhilarating free fall into turning 39.....going to be flipping righteous.

Good health, love, compassion, laughter, mystery, prosperity, commitment, magic, quiet, chaos, mothering, caring, beauty, strength, endurance, fulfilling, challenges, follow through, goals, unknown, delicious, friendship, mellow, partnership, enveloping goodness....creating space for all of these things {and more! The unexpected, so thrilling} in my life this year.

Riding

Today is why I ride...sunny but so chilly. Clear, gorgeous roads. AAA's all together, geared up, wonderful cardio, scenery, conversation. Big steak sandwich in Valley Ford, more riding & chatting. Love it. Always will.

Pool Time

I usually only have 20-30 min for laps because I'm terrible at time management & always do chores then am racing the clock to sneak in laps before kid pick up or pool closes.

Today I had an hour. I could only swim 45 minutes and now I am toast. Turns out I had it easy with 20-30 min.... 45 min of straight laps is exhausting. Yet awesome. Pool was so warm and quiet. Best. Four times a week is all I ask!

Accountability

6 miler

The good:
Chilly brilliant sunshine
Had oodles of time
Great tunes
Ate oatmeal
Pearl Jam, tribe of zebras, Shins, Adele, dance~100% Pure Love refrain "don't cha want it?" over & over

The Bad:
Lead feet
Ripping side ache
Peed my pants entire time
Back shoulder tightness
Time crawled by....

DONE!

So glad I used RunKeeper. On my own I would have stopped at 1 hr....only 5.60 miles at my 12 m pace.

Need a new flat long route.

Biker Babe

This pic makes me laugh and feel good at the same time. This is what I'd look like on a bike in a bikini bottom & that's cool with me. If life isn't fun some of the time, then what's it all for?
