Change of heart...

I still plan to train with T3 for swimming (year around) but I decided today I am going to train with Gilbert's Gazelles instead for the marathon season. I know Gilbert will help me achieve my running goals, as noted below.

I can't wait...!

Maybe I am on crack but...

I am just gonna lay it all on the table for the next few years:

Jan 09: 3:50 marathon!
Oct 09: Austin 70.3!
Jan 10: 3:40 marathon!
April 10: Boston marathon!!!!
Oct 10: Austin 70.3!
Jan 11: marathon (just finish it)
April 11: New Orleans 70.3!
June 11: Ironman Coeur 140.3!!!

In an ideal world...hmmm, I think I am going to either delete this right away or leave it up for everyone to see and gaggle. <--is that even a word?! hmmm... GOOD LUCK TO ALL COMPETING THIS WEEKEND!
It's gonna be a good time!

8/27/08: Half-ass update #892

OMG...I am hopping on the bandwagon.

Maria and Jane, watch out. It looks like I will be joining the blue and white ranks next week...

I'm actually pretty nervous, lol.

Ironbabe Tri!

Well, what can I say. I took almost 10 minutes off my time from last year. If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is!

Most fabulous of all, the bike, Whitey, is fantastic. We averaged 18.4 mph today, which is a personal best for me on the bike. I will never race a road bike again. Next on the agenda, if she is good, some race wheels:)

More later...must.get.sleep.

TODAY, 8/11/08:

IMPORTANT: THIS CAN POSSIBLY AFFECT THE LOCAL RUNNING AND TRI SCENE HERE IN AUSTIN!!! READ BELOW:

In short the Austin city council wants to do away with/ limit races in the downtown/urban areas that will effect Austin traffic. Not good. Please clink on the link below and let the city council know this is not a good idea. Link to email the city council:
