Ok, so it's been awhile...
But here's my life in a nutshell:
My last day of work is Friday and I'm excited/sad. The assistant they hired for me is super rad and I'm going to miss my crazy kids but I'm definitely ready to move on. I am working a couple half days next week, then a couple full days then WE LEAVE FOR IRONMAN COMPETITION! Jake is flying in Wednesday, then him, Colin and me are driving Friday moring over to Idaho and Colin and I are staying through Wednesday. It's supposed to be nice, there's kayaks, we're staying on a river, and my dad is finally putting all his crazy training to use for the competition. We're all really proud and excited for him. In other news, I am doing a half marathon (13.1 miles) this Saturday and it's the furthest mileage I've gone yet so I'm a bit nervous. I've been doing a 3 day a week 5:30 AM boot camp with my mom and it's kicking my ass into shape. My clothes don't really fit anymore and I'm able to bust out all the clothes from a year and a half ago. It's nice to go from 2 pairs of pants to 10 pairs because I'm a packrat and save cute clothes. I am rocking the Weight Watchers with my parents but I am not so hardcore about it and it's more to just keep my choices in check rather than serve as a diet. I'm also finding that in true Momma J fashion, my chest and booty are still in tact and will probably never go away, I'm a curvy southern plantation woman, what can I say. Though because of those fine attributes I am having a bitch of a time finding a swimsuit that A. doesn't look skanky B. doesn't look grandmotherly and C. doesn't make me look like an oversized muffin. Ha, we'll see though.
I've been super busy and am hoping things simmer down a bit after Ironman so I can get my ass up to Bellingham for a much needed visit. Besides, summer really is the best time :)
I got an offer to move into a house a friend is buying in the next couple months so I got some decisions to weigh about and make.
Back to work... lame!
running,
