You girls ROCK!!!!!!

My turn to say how much I love this team. I definately would have never in my life even attempted to do something like a 1/2 Ironman. They are such strong motivated women that I like to go visit them in the middle of their workday at their work, just to get my boost of motivation. No need for RedBull or Full Throttle when these girls are around. Let me give you a picture of the last time we all met up: we are sitting in Starbucks talking about what races we will sign up for. Here is what we came up:29 March nations' half marathon, 20 april Fredricksburg Triathlon, 27 april GW 10miler, 4 may Potomac River Run (1/2 marathon),31 may 1/2 ironman triathlon Geargia. Sounds pretty intense. the best thing about my teammates...they both have already suggested we do another 1/2 ironman triathlon THIS YEAR!!!! Gotta love the motivation.

Well last week I was in Cleveland and it got 12 inches of snow the first day there. I ran anyway. As a matter of fact I stuck to my training plan minus the swim. And so far this week I have stuck to it also. But the pool at LTF is currently under renovation. that has thrown a complete monkey wrench into my training. I hate to swim but that is why I need to keep swimming. This bump is killing me mentally. I need to adjust and find somewhere else to swim till next week. Of course I am leaving for CA next friday, but fortunately my friends are triathletes so I am bringing my pedals and wetsuit and they are going to take me on runs, rides and swims. I can't wait. I haven't swam in the pacific ocean in almost 5 years.

My last little pitch: Good luck to all the ladies running in the nation's marathon/half. Hope to see you all sporting your See Mommy Run gear. I know I will be.

Happy running!
