I'm in! Ironman Florida 2011 here I come.

Last week, I succeeded in registering for IM Florida next year. These races fill up extremely fast! It was important for me to get into this race because it is one of the few Iron distance races in the United States that takes place on a Saturday.

I have also officially joined a Triathlon Team. I am still a member of the DC Tri Club, however I am now also a member of Team Z. I am really excited about the coaching that comes with Team Z.

I have booked my hotel (which is actually a 2 bed/2 bath condo located in a resort with a waterfront Gulf view) for race week. It looks amazing! I am really excited to stay at a resort…I have never had that luxury before.

That’s it. Training is getting really intense really fast. Also, I have 3 doctors appointments this week (with 3 different doctors). So hopefully one of them will be able to figure out what is wrong with my feet.

My 3 Goals for the week!

Sunday is a really good day for me to outline my goals for the week. I love using it as a day of reflection. I want to start using it to not only setting spiritual goals, and reflecting on those….but also other goals as well. Here are my top 3 Sunday goals for the week:


1. This week I want to spend more time studying my scriptures than I do watching TV. (A few months ago in church, we were given a survey. It asked us to estimate how many hours a week we do various activities. I don’t think I watch a lot of TV. Probably around 4-5 hours a week. However, I know that I don’t spend more than that studying my scriptures.) I always study my scriptures daily, but this week I want to put more effort and time into it.

2. I have a HUGE problem with wasting food. It is really sad. So this week, my goal is to eat all of the produce I bought yesterday before it goes bad. I spent $100 on grocery’s yesterday (85% of which is produce), so this is a big undertaking. Might need to have a dinner party at some point this week to make sure it gets eaten. 

3. I want to wake us when my alarm clock goes off. I am a snooze button gal. It is a really big problem. If I know I need to be out of bed by 4a, sometimes I will set my alarm for 3:15a just so I have enough time to actually get out of bed. But not this week…as soon as the alarm goes off, I am going to get out of bed!

That’s it. Those are my top 3 goals for the week!
