Been a while

Guess I better update!

I've been a bit lazy about exercise, no good excuses just lame justifications....  But I did participate in my first ever Dirty Dash and it was a blast!  My friend Errin had the idea months ago and supposedly we had a big group of gals signing up.  When it came to the day it was just Errin and me, and we did it!    We walked pretty much the whole course, but we took on and completed every muddy obstacle they threw at us.  I had sworn to myself I'd never do the mud run/obstacle course events cause they make me so anxious (you really can't know what you've gotten yourself into til your there...).  But I'm glad I did, and I will do more.



Also, we had our annual NAMI Bike Ride.  It was fabulous!  Great weather, lots of riders, and a great BBQ afterward.  I rode the 20 mile route and raised about $700 for our office.  Next years event is going to be even bigger and better!

I was thinking about a duathlon in fall, but the company that hosts it closed.  There doesn't seem to be any word of whether it will still happen or not.  I should start taking training a bit more seriously just in case it still is on.  But we'll see.  It's on the same day as my gym's big competition and I love reffing for that event.  Either way I need to figure out my slump and get to working out...
