Run, Traci, Run!!!

Well - I decided to go "brave" (as my name means) and run the sidewalks today. Anyone that knows me - knows that's a risky thing to do - seeing how clumsy I am. But I did it - with no accidents!

The school track was holding me back - I've been doing up to 300 meter runs/100 meter walks for 3 miles - but today - I didn't have any guides - I ran till I couldn't run anymore - then I walked the rest of the way home.

I drove the exact route, after dropping Alec off to school, and it was a total of 1.8 miles and I had ran 1.2 of it - STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it?

I'm AMAZING! At least to myself.

Katie's Tri

My sister, Katie, had her first Triathlon yesterday (8/22/09). It was so exciting to be there with her. She was so inspiring and I cried while she swam it was so beautiful! I'm unbelievably proud of her and can't wait 'til we do our race in Akron in 3 short weeks!

Here's a video of her swimming - it's amazingly beautiful!

Down 36 lbs in 3 months!

Well it's been a while since I've updated....

I was down to 256 this morning on the scales. I ran/walked 300/100's last night and did well. I'm super excited about my progress.

I wasn't ready for the Richmond race - but have one planned for Sept 12 here in Ohio ( http://www.hfpracing.com/events/2009/akron-women-only-triathlon )

Here's a picture of me - TODAY. I can feel a difference and people are mentioning "seeing" a difference - I don't notice it so much though.

I think 100 more lbs and I'll be looking PRETTY GOOD!!!
