Simple Loops-IEZ

I've been in a really creative mood lately since I've had two weeks off.  I've put a couple of rides together.  This one is tweaked version of Pink/Bill P's looped ride.  I really like the simplicity of this, you can take it any way you want.  This could be very challenging or quite simple.  I was wanting a "funky mix" and found a great album to go with the them here.

Funky Beats Album-"Finger Lickin' Export 02"

Warm Up

Simple Loops

Flat Road-Challenging 3 minutes

Standing Climb- 4 minutes

 Very relaxing.....

I Love the track to the right ---------------------------->

"Move for me" from Kaskade & Deadmau5

I don't know where I got this track, but I'm diggin' it.

I think this may be nestled in the middle of a hard climb soon.

Whatcha think?

I got this and love it!

I'm sailing on this Sunday!

I love this lipstick, purple goes great with green eyes.

Clinique-"A Different Grape"

Reading these books on my trip......

This girl is hilarious, I have to read her "Judy Blume for adults" books.

and this one....

I know what your thinking, "Shannon, put the books away for one week!" I'm just going to study two chapters in the car not on the ship!

Did you listen to that track yet?

Have you done your pull-ups this week?

09' Race Calendar

Well it's official, I've signed up for the four races I plan on doing in 09.

March~Shamrock 1/2 Marathon

This one is going to be special because my husband will be running his first road race ever.  I'm hoping to PR 2:00, I know that's an 18 min hop from the last PR but I think I can do it.

May~Smith Mountain Lake Sprint Triathlon

This is also a race my husband and I are doing together.  This will also be his first triathlon race.  Do you people see a trend here? (yahoo)

June~ Eagleman 1/2 Iron!

I've been looking forward to this race for over a year and half.  I can't wait, I'm a little nervous about the heat & humidity for a June race but I just want to finish.  I'm not really looking for a specific time just want to have a great race.  I can't wait to share all my training stories.  My blog will be a good outlet for all the ups and downs I'm sure I'll experience.

September~The Nation's Triathlon, International Distance

This one is sort of new and exciting.  A friend turned me on to it and I thought, "why not."  This will be a great race to finish out the 09' season.  My husband and I will be doing this one together as well.

Now if I win the lottery.......

October~IronMan Hawaii, the "BIG" One!

(stop giggling, it might happen one day)

Balancing Act

This is about how I've been feeling of late.  Trying to balance my school teacher job, fitness instructor job, studying for PT, being a great Mom, Wife, & Friend.  

Well at least I survived the 7 boys slumber party last night, taught two great classes this morning, my Christmas tree is up and my house is clean so I should be thankful.  Getting ready for the Tipton Cruise next week to the Bahamas and I need a vacation. 

I did a Balancing Act on my Stability Ball this morning!

(pictures to come) 

Where did 10 years go?

Just when you think you have your life planned out, 11 years ago I'm reading books on "how to raise an only child." God throws me a curve ball, what a curve ball he threw at me.  Thank you God for my blessing, a son.  Happy Birthday to my baby boy!
