Determined to get back into blogging....

Ok... so I know I haven't posted anything in 6 months but now I'm on a mission to improve. A lot has happened since then. Sticking with the theme of my page.... I successfully completed 1 triathlon this past summer, took a 6 week long knitting class, and as for the notes I have definitely put a lot of time into both singing and playing the piano at church. J and I are also expecting our first baby in just 2 short months. Yikes!! Seeing as it's almost december and time is clicking away I have a lot on my to do list. I thought I would try making a december checklist and see how well I do. So here goes...

1) Finish 2 independent masters classes
2) Knit at least half of the baby blanket
3) Finish decorating baby's nursery
4) Continue to workout at least 4 days a week, even if it's going for a walk.
5) Go see a movie with my husband
6) Rest a lot and not feel guilty about needing to lay down

There it goes... I'll keep you posted on the list as things are completed.

Another Successful Race

Exercise has always been an important aspect of my life. I always exercised for general fitness and well being until the last couple of years. After two knee surgeries, I truly found the appreciation for my legs and ability to exert my body physically. This past sunday, I completed my second half marathon, Great Western 2010. It was overall a successful race. I finished in 2:01:01, running at a 9:16 pace, and 19th out of 47 in my age group. I was blessed to have many friends running with me making it both a social and competitive event. While the completion of a race brings feelings of emptiness after 12 weeks of training, it also provides an opportunity to find new events to train for. Throughout the summer I plan to complete multiple sprint triathlons and longer distance running races.

My First Post

Over the past few months I have been inspired to start a blog. So... no better place than to travel to Iowa City on a beautiful April weekend to visit my brother and sister-in-law who are the blog experts in my life. After a few beers and conversations, the unique blog has been created. The name originated from three of my favorite hobbies... triathlons (and exercise in general), knitting, and music (piano, singing, listening, etc.). This will be the perfect opportunity for me to log my adventures in life. A big thank you to Robin (http://brownwingstudio.com) for this unique design and taking the time to help me start my very first blog.
