wow....no not really

so my friends have been after me about blogging more. To quote one of my all time favorite movies, Shawshank Redemption, "Get busy living, get busy dying". I have been really busy just doing stuff.

I find that on my off days the last thing I wanna do is sit in front of a computer blogging. Perhaps if I had a laptop that would be different. But I dont so that means I have to sit at home and type away when i much rather be outside or doing something else. Second, I really do not lead that exciting of a life to blog. I am not trainging for anything, have not amazing vacation stories to share.....I dont know I guess I am just in a slump so sue me.

okay....off my chest so I am off to the grocery store then to have a beer since it's St. Patty's Day.

Bootcamp weekend.....DONE!

So if you did not I have been a complete slug the past several month. I seriously think the last time I actually rode my bike was last August. I have picked up a few short runs with the dogs hear and there but over all.......zip, nada, nothing.......until this weekend.

I think that cheering my husband and friends on for the 3M and the Austin Marathon sort of put the fire back under my butt. It was a bittersweet day on marathon day for me, cheering and wishing it was me being cheered on by others all at the same time. I decided that day that yes, I needed to get off my rear and start training again.

I am lucky to have such amazing friends and a supportive hubby to boot. They all encouraged me to get back out there so this weekend I signed up to ride the 50 mile route of Pedal Through the Pines with my crew. It was a really nice ride despite my out-of-shapeness. I am still pissed that the same guy on a unicycle passed me going up hill that did last year.WTF......how lame is that on my part. But it makes me laugh and after chatting with a few other riders who share in my pain and really wanna hurl a water bottle at him as he effortlessly wheels right by us. It would be my luck that the dude would catch it and start to juggle or something.

Anyway, I hope to get better at keeping up with this dang blog since I know how much you all are dying to hear about my life:) Thanks for reading!!
