RHR - 49

Heart rate seems to be dropping satisfactorily.  Ankle a little sore today - so have the brace on at work.  I will bike for cardio today.

Been working out hard and eating well and dropped 6 pounds this week (sure a lot of it was water weight).

Yay - saw my name on the St. George Marathon list for a minute before it crashed the site!  So - I went and signed up for the Pony Express Trail 100 - 50 Mile race.

PM - 60 minutes hard on the stationary bike keeping my heart rate at a high aerobic rate.  50 minutes leg weight training.  Another session of 20 second fitness. Stretching.  I'm tired now!

Now that winter is coming to an end, it is looking up. :) Busy with work as always, but loving the challenge. Lots of changes will be happening at work this summer - it should be interesting to see how it shakes out. The Pres and EVP are both retiring in August and my boss just got made the EVP and will head up our company (with a President from our Head company)

So you are going to be doing the 50? I'll be there too, with bells on. We should have a super fun group of people there this year. I'm hoping to register in the next few weeks.

CONGRATS on the weight loss and making SGM. Looks like you'll have a busy summer with work and training for the marathon and 50 miler. WoHOOOO!!!!
