Role Reversal

Well, it's the end of January today and that means we all have 2 months to wrap up our training for this FUN event! It's still plenty o' time, but you have to be dedicated and determined! I hope you're all still preparing and, more importantly, mentally preparing - this means you cannot be telling yourselves that you can't do it, etc. It is SO important to get mental toughness as well as building your physical endurance.

You chicks can do this - I know you can - and I'm REALLY looking forward to having you out there. This will be a really tough training weekend for me, and I'll be motivated and encouraged to keep on truckin', because you'll all be out there too!

Alright, enough of my rah-rah speech. I know we're all very busy, but try to keep in touch with each other to encourage and motivate. Train, train, train!
Woohoo - St. Louis or Bust!

Talk about a role reversal - my how the tables have turned, eh? Each of you had the opportunity to challenge and inspire me while I was growing up - now it's my turn to help move you toward this goal. How many years did it take for me to make the cheerleading squad? Yes, my friends, persistance and determination are key!!!

Hello Chicas!

How's everyone doing with the walking? It was like 11 degrees here in KC today, and my mom still got her walk in...on my treadmill! Atta girl, Donna Marie! :-)

Hope you're all doing well!

Come on Now Twelve Weeks to go

I haven't heard from any of you, but we need to get moving out there. Max and Tucker and I walked with Dawn Saturday. It started out all pretty and warmish, in the 40's. But I thought it will be great this afternoon. WRONG!! It got very cold and pretty windy, but walk we did, about 4 miles at the English Landing park in Parkville, MO right along the river. It was a pretty walk, two trains came by, very long trains, and that made Tucker crazy. I thought I might die, but I didn't, so we, Bill and the boys and I, are going back today. It is supposed to be nice today. I am also going to fill out some apps today for a job. Soooooooo, what's up with the rest of you,

I walked

I did about three miles on Tuesday, it was very cold and wet rainy snowy yesterday, but the sun is out today, so I plan to take the boys and walk another 3 miles. How about you guys, What's up?

Still walking

Well what a great start to the year this is!! I went to work on Monday, and was told that I don't work there any more. It seems that at Christopher and Banks if a customer has any unpleasant experiences or just plain isn't satisfied, it is someone's fault. Unfortunately on several occasions, I have been the someone at fault. ..............But, then Bill came home and said that because of some past financial difficulties, he was being denied a job he had just started. What can I say, things surely can't get any worse???????? Right? Am I right,?? well,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The Beginning

Well, yesterday I took Max and Tucker for our first walk of the year. It was about 50 degrees and beautiful. the ice was mostly gone and I didn't have to dress like an eskimo. However, with such warming came yuck and mud everywhere.
Today I go to the grocery store and pick up all the healthy food we'll need for the next couple of weeks, if I'm going to torture myself like this, I am definitely not going to be eating junk. So, it's back to Dr Os and "You on A Diet".
Sorry Dixie, I don't think Bill will be joining us in St. Louis, but there will be plenty of rescue workers standing by. We are going to rock.
