so far I'm not doing very good at my goal of blogging 3 times a week. But the Olympics started! It's addicting! I love it! And I'm exhausted. Working, being a mother, a wife...it's wearing me out. What's my problem? I'll tell you what's my problem..I need to lose 15 pounds! But it's hard because eating makes me happy and I really need some happy right now (which is why I'm staying up late watching the Olympics). I'm trying to make my own happy and lots of time that involves food. Maybe I should be telling this to my therapist instead of typing it on my blog.
June was such an awesome month. Seriously awesome. In the beginning of June Trina and I got up early and hiked Echo Canyon. And I almost died. SERIOUSLY! When I had hiked it with Adrienne we had to stop because she felt faint and needed to eat. I remembered thinking, "I can't believe she needs to eat to do this". Well the same thing happened to me..but worse. And that's what I get for judging! I was almost to the top and I couldn't do any more. I couldn't take another step. I thought I was going to pass out. I hadn't eaten the night before and didn't eat that morning. Luckily Trina, ever the nurse, saved my life with some trail mix. I told her to go to the top without me but of course she wouldn't. I love that Trina. Any way I felt better after a few minutes and was able to make it. Yeehaw!
Exercising makes me happy. Exercising with Trina makes me ecstatic! Which brings me to Ragnar. We are doing Southern California Ragnar. I am so excited. I've already started training since I will have to do one of the big runs. I was at lunch with Christy today and told her my secret desire to be runner #7 and do the 11 mile run that goes along the San Diego harbor. I've been thinking it all week and saying it out loud made it real. I don't know if I can do it (Christy thinks I can) but I want to try. Is it bad that running 4 miles right now is killing me? Well I have 8 months to build up to 11. Wish me luck!
