Soaking in the Sunrays!

It's so cold out even the dogs are trying to find warmth anywhere...During the day today, the sun was shining in the house, and Wylie, (who never, I mean never, goes on the couch) was caught in the act trying to keep warm... I couldn't bring myself to tell him to get off from there. He did leave his hind legs on the floor so he knew he shouldn't be up there at all, but somehow he just couldn't resist the temptation.

Event Plans

There are several events that I'm looking forward to competing in, like this one and this one and then this series and at least this triathlon too.


Any suggestions on how to keep motivated through winter temps like the ones heading our way?


All I'm going to want to do, is leave work, get home as fast as possible and put on my warm fuzzy slippers and curl up on the couch after eating dinner....but what I need to do is contintue to go to the gym right after work, get in the pool, swim, run, spin, on alternating days.

Time for the Swap Meet (and a few other stops)

Here we are again, at that time of year, searching for some good deals on bike parts. While we're out in Mad Town, I'm hoping to get some other shopping in too! And maybe stop at some places on the way back, (Johnson's Creek, Kohls, etc.....). Sugs will be so excited to hear of the extended plans for today!

"Discovery, National Body Challenge"

For the third year, I've joined the "Discovery, National Body Challenge". I really like the fact that you get a 30 day Bally's workout pass. It's free, it used to be for 12 wks, but I'll take 30 days. The gym I belong to doesn't have a pool, so this will work out perfect. So far, the treadmill and weight training with some indoor training on the cyclops has been working well. I should be getting outside for my workouts, but haven't yet....I must be getting wimpy, the excuse has been, "I'm waiting for it to warm up a little."

We plan on taking the tree down this weekend, and the decorations. That will also entail cleaning the house which really needs to be done! Hopefully da Sugs will pitch in a little of his expertise.
