I DID IT!!

This MAMA did it!! I completed(not fast - but completed) a sprint TRIATHLON in september and RAN( a slow jog) a HALF MARATHON in October !! I actually was pretty proud of myself they were not easy tasks. Not only am I NOT an athlete and this stuff does not come naturally for me like it does for most of my family but training was a little tricky to find the time with 4 girls a new puppy and very busy hubby!! Lets just say my older girls are getting really good at taking over a little responsibility, which is so great and I couldn't have done it without them. I am also very grateful that I got to do the TRI with Tristen she was amazing it was so fun to be able to talk about our training and to motivate eachother. Then to be able to run the Half with Sara and Tiffany was such a blast too, they are the ones that kept me going! Love you sista's!!! I have to say that my sweet hubby was my biggest fan for both races, he supported me even though it made life pretty chaotic.

I thought I recognized that Mummy! But I wasn't 100% sure, so I didn't want to freak out a stranger if it wasn't actually you. Way to go!
