Tomorrow is a new day....

Tomorrow is a new day unlike any other...tomorrow I may bite off more than I can chew or start the greatest journey of my life...time will tell. 

Two big goals; 1) Insanity 60 Day Challenge w/ my hubby (http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do) and 2) 20 Week Olympic Tri 2x-Balanced training (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=40)!! My goal is to do the Mountain Man Olympic Tri in August!!! (http://www.mountainmanevents.com/mountainman1.htm)

And my newest goal...to share this experience with you along the way. A dear friend and coach of mine, Kristen Lodge, is my inspiration for all things Tri. She also suggested that I may have a little something to share about this journey (She is a writer too). So here it goes! 

For those of you who know me, which I am sure will be the majority...you can stop reading now. But for those of you who don't, here is a little about me and why Kristen thought this journey maybe fun to document...I pray it serves as inspiration...

I am a Mom of two amazing lil boys, J (8) and B (3). My husband and I have been married for 15 years. We are childhood sweethearts, we've been together for 21yrs! I am 34, turing 35 in September. I also work full time as a NP in a cardiology practice, which I love. I am very dedicated to work which makes this whole balance that much more difficult. One MAJOR blessing in my life is that I live/work/play in the community I grew up in, so I have a lot of support!!! My Mom watches our boys while we work, so that is another major advantage. 

I have been Tri training for the last year. I did my first sprint Tri a year ago with my cousin (Michelle) and one of my very best friends (Elyse Hammett). A huge source of support comes from a small local group of friends called the Desert Tri Girls (DTGs). These women have become my rock and motivation when it comes to goal setting and training. I call myself the best faker! These women can out run me, out bike me and out swim me any day!!! But I am faking it until I make it! I completed 4 sprint Tris last year along w/ doing El Tour de Tucson (60 miles) for the first time in November 2012. This was w/ the only women's cycling group in Tucson, Team Soul (http://teamsoulcycling.weebly.com/), very humbling and an honor. Finally, last month I checked Ragnar Del Sol (http://www.ragnarrelay.com) off my bucket list with the most amazing group of women I have ever met, Rock'N Ragnar Girlz!! It was one of the best experiences of my life!!!! I can't wait to do it again. 

In the coming 20 weeks, my goal is to share this journey with you. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It will be personal and hard....but I will do my best to share my struggles and victories w/ you!!!
