Que...thank you so much..I have been really worried about him this week since he is in Bagdad......but he is doing well!

End of the year.......thanks everyone for the B-day wishes....hunted in the woods for about 5 hours and I am SORE...inner thighs and hams and calfs.....tried to run today and only did two miles....my legs were aching.....so I have a new found respect for bird hunters in the woods....saw a bald eagle on my b-day! That was very cool!

Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first. ~Author Unknown

Okay yesterdays cals were way off. I was swamped at home and work. I have found that for me to start the day off with a protein shake it helps increase my cals as well as protein for the day.

Yesterday:
1074 cals
carbs- 137
fat - 42
Pro - 44

OKay so yes I need to up my food alot on the days that I am really busy. Im adding a spinning class in next week. This should help my endurance with running along with strength training. I plan on running this am before it gets to windy....Also I am joining a triathalon training club too

triathalon training club......I like that!! Are you going to start swimming? I used to swim 5xwk and train triathalon all the way. Swimming is what kills most people in those races. Good luck with it! You will meet some cardio freaks in that club.
