$30.00 later

I spent about $30.00 last night on music for my Ipod. I tunes is a sickness that takes my money. I literally found some gift cards in a cabinet while I was cleaning. I loaded some running music, Lily Allen, M.I.A, and some really bad rapper music. I like listening to really fast beats when I am running.

So hopefully I can be a happy runner again.

Loser Ida

I am suppose to be running a half marathon at Disneyland. I am suppose to be training.

Now ask me have I trained? Nope!

Do I have money left to take a trip to Disneyland? Nope! We all know Disneyland is not a few hundred dollars trip. No if we go ; we go big or not at all. So this time it may have to be not at all.

Let's get real, I have not trained, I need to buy school clothes for G. I am lazy, and not broke but broke for Disneyland.

I am a loser!

Running Blog

I have made a running/triathlon blog. I hope to put in my runs and whatever nifty I find out there too. I hope it gives me some accountability when it comes to my running.

So if you'd like to check it out some times I will place a link on the side.

Triathlon Wish List

OK my Peeps any thoughts or advice on this starter pack? I am a novice here a super green one. Looking to get the most for my money before I sink big dollars, and don't even know if I like it. Let me know your thoughts please. The whole kit and kaboodle is around 999.00

Thanks

Triathlon anyone?

Yes call me nutty buddy. But I think I want to try a triathlon someday. Just to say I did it. I am one of those people I think we all have a life list. Well one of those things on my list is to complete a triathlon. When I mentioned this to hubby he thought I meant the Iron Man. Huh yeah right I just want to do a little one like a sprint one. One that I can handle. I am in no way ever going to complete an Iron man no way in h#ll.

The one I am planning for is in Hawaii. I figure I can make a vacation out of it as well. Now I just need to scrape together my pennies and buy a decent bike to start training with. Wish me luck or a larger does of my crazy med's.

Thinking about running

So I am considering doing the disneyland half marathon. Believe me I am not looking forward to it. I torture myself thinking about it. But I will do it and finish if I sign up. I need a running buddy though. My aunt offered to run with me.

I had originally thought to do the 5k and make a vacation out of it. Let the kids see all the characters, do the character breakfast, get a 3 day park hopper. And the big deal actually stay in a disney hotel.

Seriously pray for me. I hope I can make it. I did it before I am sure I can do it again.

16 lbs to go

Yep I am still on my way to losing the weight. I have 16 more lbs to go. It's coming off slowly but surely. I am still doing points. It's ok it's like a game trying to figure out how many points is what. I will reward myself later see the purse post.

I also decided to do another 5k, I am to lazy to do the half marathon again. So I will be doing disneyland 5k in August. It should be fun. We'll make a vacation out of it. Thanks for reading

The Skinny

So we finally purchased another treadmill. I am so happy and overjoyed that is has pre-set programs and a better motor and some sort of cushion thing. So hopefully not as bad on the knees as the previous one. Time to start running again.

Today was so warm I am so ready for winter temperatures to begin. It's been hovering in the low 90's still. I really need to be able to break out with a sweater sometime soon. It's funny I bought winter clothes for the kids awhile back and they may grow out of them before winter even rolls around here. Oh well I guess thats what we get for living in the desert.

I joined a month long weight loss pool on an online board I visit. I hope I can loose 10 lbs or more within the month. I am very ready for my clothes to start fitting again. Oh the joys of post-partum baby weight. I swear my hips get bigger after every child I have.

Enough of my crying for now. Off I go to run. Happy Running!

Race Running

I have run 3 races so far. Actually they are pretty fun if you like training and sometimes freezing your butt off like I did in Vegas Half Marathon. Above are 2 pictures from races. The one in purple is from the Carlsbad 5000 a great race with awesome views. The second is from the Vegas Half marathon this past December. OH that was something. It was cold I was cranky and oh I was pregnant and didn't even know it. I swear if I had had money I would have hailed a cab. But hey I finished so that's all that counts . I also did the Inagural Disneyland Half Marathon. If you are a runner who also likes disneyland that is one to do. The course is great and lot's of people motivating you along the way. It's like a tour of Disneyland CA Adventures the anaheim stadium and of course the orginal disneyland.

So now I am post baby and need to start running again. I like this website to train it gives some great basic training tips. I think will be training for the Carlsbad 5000 again. Have fun running. :)
