It's official!


So it's official, Emily and I finally booked our tickets on the most AMAZING cruise out there. The ROCK BOAT!:) For those of you who know me, know that I love love love music, and Emily shares the same passion:) So with this cruise they have 24 different bands that take turns playing all week. Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin, Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins, and Lyle Lovett are just a few of the amazing talented bands that will be playing while on the cruise. I hear it's like being at a concert all day long. Can we say HEAVEN! I can't wait! If any of you are interested in going let me know and I'll give you the low down:)

But until then all I have to say is Cayamo!:) I'm excited!

Competitive! Me, NEVER:P



Ok I need to confess that I'm getting extremely competitive in my triathlon training. I use to race and workout with not really caring what my time was. People would pass me and I was completely ok with it. Well now I care:) LOL.... Last night the whistle blew, the race began, and I told myself I HAD to keep up with Deyl and Mark. Lets just say I kept up with them until the end when they sprinted. I seriously thought I was going to puke. Oh the joy, and of course I would do it again in a heart beat. Well tonight I checked my race results and I was pretty shocked when I saw that I came in 28th place out of 243 runners. I placed 4th in the women's category. Last year I think I came in like 80th place. Oh great, I have a feeling next week I'm going to be extremely competitive:) LOL

I never thought I would enjoy training and racing as much as I have. If you've never tired it, you're missing out. There's nothing like crossing the finish line after so much hard work and effort. It's a feeling and rush that can't be explained:)
