It's 2007......

And my wish is that I can be able to train for the TRI!!! I want to do well in it.....OK I want to finish it with some kind of dignity. I don't care if I'm last. But now I'm getting scared that I'm not going to do it at all!!!

I know, I know that it is in June.....But I have a sinking feeling that I'm not going to be able to do it. This cold is really bring my training down. I should have been able to run the extra .25 miles on Saturday....But of course I had to hack up a lung as soon as I crossed the bridge.

I do have the treadmill up and I have used it. I walked 30 minutes at 4.0 mph and I ran on it for 15 minutes at 5.0 mph. But of course I had to stop to have a coughing fit. How come it does not happen when I'm at work sitting down!!! Just when I want to run!!!!

Ok I'm done belly aching!

My goals for 2007 are:

1. Really train for the Green Lakes Tri.......And finish the Tri!!!

2. Loose some weight. This does help the first one. If I loose the weight.....There is a lot less of me to carry during the three phases.

3. Be a good roll model for my children. Yes they do take up some of my time, but I also have to make more time with them and show them that exercising is good for them and could bring us together as a family.

4. Remember "Hill are our Friends"!!!!

5. Remember "Work is work......It will always be there. " Do your best at work, but don't let it rule your life.

That is it....Just 5. I think they are good ones.....And hopefully I will be able to stick with them.

Good goals, Sue and all very doable. I am in the same spot as you as far as the cold goes - I feel like I am going to be starting from day one.

As far as your playlist - Finish What You Started? Good choice!

Wow Sue, awesome goals. The Green Lakes Tri was amazing (I didn't do it, I only watched it!). And then this summer I saw the Lake Placid Ironman. Man, doing running, biking, and swimming all in a row... phew, that's a feat! May the Force be with you! :o)
