I am not sure if right now is the right time to blog
It's been a long time. It's been a long week. I think, like not going to the grocery store when you're hungry, I wonder if blogging while you're: mad, angry, sad and depressed are the right time. The one thing I do know, and have learned slowly and patiently over the years, is when we have feelings we need to express them. If I have spent this last year bottling up all my feelings, I certainly wouldn't be in as good of a place as I am right now. I have been MIA for
Happy May Day
Kathy Hudson won the Gold Medal in Spain at the inaugural ITU cross triathlon. What a rock star! She is such an amazing woman: Strong, Smart, Fast, World Champion. Lots of people complain about getting older.. When the entire world can be served to you on a silver platter, if you choose, how can you choose to sit idle?

XTERRA Waco South Central Cup Championship

My goal: to qualify for the Xterra Championship and to have FUN!! I love XTERRA, it's the best ever race in the whole wide world. Why do I love XTERRA so much?

Ready, Freddy Swim PR on Tuesday
Did my mile in under 25 minutes and it was a slow, comfortable pace. In case my counting was off I did another 50, it was still a PR. It was a 50 meter pool which makes it faster, especially when I only missed the wall on 2 turns. Thanks Coach Tom, of Irving Master's/Irving Swimmers, finally. Had a great bike/run/bike/run workout. Had a great run workout. All in all had a good taper. I didn't get the intensity I would have liked because, I really only had a week taper. Had
I am ready to race
I had a tough time deciding: do I go down on Sunday, today and pre ride Waco. Or do I go down on Wednesday to Pre Ride? I was asking for everyone's advice; my oldest monkey gave me the best: "Mom, go down today, you'll be all busy come Wednesday and it's in the middle of the week". I knew she was right. From getting the bike ready to race, to getting food prepped to taking everyone down to the Galleria on Friday to celebrate her birthday. I like being busy, I don't like being
