Volunteering at the Max Muscle Vancouver Triathlon/Duathlon

On Sunday 9/11/2011 I volunteered at the Max Muscle Vancouver Triathlon/Duathlon. Wow, it was pretty amazing to see all those athletes. Some were doing the olympic distance, the sprint distance and the tri-it. One sticks out in my mind. A gentleman walked up to me and began telling me about his 59 yr old wife, whom is a doctor and was doing her first Triathlon. He was so proud of her he could not smiling or talking about her. I wish I would have seen them at the end.
I will be doing that again next year.

I think I found my new Monday night routine!

Well I went to the gym to attend my first Pilates class and my first Zumba class.
I started off with the Pilates class. Wow that is no easy workout!!  The instructor was great, she killed my abs. She had us to several abs workouts and  while doing planks she said that if we dropped out of position we would have to do it again. Let's just say this girl did not drop, my muscles shook like crazy. but I did not drop. LOL.
And my first Zumba class tonight I had a blast!!! Oh my, this girl can not dance, but neither could other people, but it was sooo much fun. 15 minutes into the class and I looked like I had ran through a few sprinklers. I think I have found my new Monday night workout.

Slacking

I am Slacking.

1)      I have not been blogging like I had planned too. I want to get this blog set up better and to post more. Will start working on that today.

2)      I know that if I listen to those lazy thoughts once, I know I will listen again. This morning when my alarm went off at 4:17am I hit the off button, knowing that I had a second alarm that goes off at 5:30 am. Well, when the 5:30 am alarm went off, I noticed how tight my muscles felt. I think I must have slept in the fetal position all night, because when I stretched out everything ached. And there is where my lazy thoughts began……No running this morning for you, your muscles are to tight. And you can’t run tonight either, because it is going to be 95 degrees out. Well I am going to venture out on my first night run. I guess I should be more specific, my first run in the dark. I have a head lamp, reflective vest and a few clip on blinking lights, oh and a small flash light. I think I should be fine. I will post on how it goes.

3)      My food intake or diet what ever you want to call it, it has been less than healthy. I need to sit down and plan out some healthy meals for Don (husband) and I. Will work on that too.
