I Kicked Butt in the Sprint! (...too bad it is a marathon)

Well, I think I probably lost more weight than anyone else at work this week for the
Biggest Loser competition, but the contest is 11 weeks long, not 1!!

* * * *

Update - just got the results email. So I wasn't the biggest loser - I was the 2nd biggest loser - only 1 guy ahead of me...out of over 60 people. I drank 2lbs of water before the weigh-in this morning to pad it a bit. Had I not done that I'd been way ahead of everyone. So, my point still stands...losing that much in one week isn't the best way to do it.

In other sprint/marathon news, I talked to my mom last night and found out she and Mrs. Clark walked SIX MILES last weekend!!! I'm so proud! She still says she's waiting until the week of the Gusher Half Marathon to decide if she'll actually do it, and so far is just helping Mrs. Clark train (she has already signed up), but that is plenty for me. I'm proud of them for getting out there and training regardless of whether or not she actually enters the race or not.

My parents were FINALLY inspired to train for a race after watching my sister run a 6:30 marathon (my races did nothing to inspire them. What? No, seriously.) Anyway, they are coming to do the Bayou City Classic and I am so excited to see them being active! Mom is planning on walking it and my dad is going to run it - I can't wait!! Congrats on getting them out there and training!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
