Facebook

I finally caved and joined all the other crazy people out there by joining Facebook. Wow, it's been less than a week and it's already crazy. Lots of friends requests, fun comments and a new way to stock my favorite sports and people: Lance Amstrong, Jimmie Johnson, KU basketball, Alex Ovechkin, and hopefully Mike Green in the near future :>) Yes I have issues!

But the great thing is joining the Iron Girl Columbia group and finding out all kinds of information, seeing posts about people being as scared as I am about the swim, when other girls are going for training rides, etc.

Speaking of the upcoming Iron Girl. So far this has been a great week, today is a rest day for me and boy do I need it. I've been to the pool for the past 2 days and the swimming is coming along really well.

I'm going to do the Tri It Now mini tri on Aug 9th and I think that will help boost my confidence. This is the same event that I did in 2005 and I think I'm more prepared this year and I'm actually looking forward to it.

This past Sunday, July 26th, I declared to the hubby that I'm going to finish the Iron Girl and that I'm going to do fine in the swim. Over the past few days my confidence in my capabilities continues to grow.

And the even cooler thing is that several of my friends are planning on joining my hubby to cheer me on. They have no idea what that means to me. For some of them that will be the first time they see me cry, because I know that when I cross that finish line I'm going to cry and then when I see all their faces, cheering me on, I'm going to cry even harder. For all of you planning on going, be prepared, I'm going to want to hug and might not smell that great from all my hard work :>)

You all have no idea how much your support means to me, I will forever being indebted to you :>)
