I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Woke up late and had to run short.  Maybe it was a good thing, as I had a lot of pain at the end of my run and rolling my ITB yesterday.  The main pain is mid thigh now with a bit in the hip. 

I am still reeling with excitement about my swim last night :)  HAPPY DAYS!!!  I need to find a wet suit so I can swim with the BRAVE Michelle in the reservoir this fall, well, starting next week.  I'll call my brother :)

I am going to bike tonight and tomorrow night.  Thursday, I am going to put the whole tri together.  I can hardly walk straight when I get out of the pool, so I am a bit concerned about how it will work out.  At least it is a sprint sprint :)  (400 swim, 9 mile ride, 5k)

On a FABULOUS note, my weight is going down AMAZINGLY well.  I am SO excited :)  I may get brave enough to post it one of these days :)

you are going to love your tri!!!!! I am excited for you.

Nice to have the weight going in the right direction! That takes serious control for those last few pounds. Good job!!!

Congratulations on the swim. You're quite the fishy fishy.

And way to go on the weight loss!

How cool about the wetsuit resevoir swimming! That sounds so great, I HATE pool swiming and would do about anything to avoid it(unless it was my own pool and I could decide who gets to go in it). Awesome news about the ##s. Isn't it so sad how happy it can make you to lose like 2 pounds! Have a great day!
