So this is me! In this pic I am at St. Edwards park goofing off with camera angles (husband at the camera), hoping to make myself look thinner. Non of it worked but it was fun!!!
I am starting out this blog with a quick explanation of why I decided to take the plunge to make a blog, my best friend writes blogs and she has found much joy in it. She keeps telling me of all the ways it has helped her in her goals and I though I would try it out myself. So here goes :)
I am writing this blog to track the new challenge I have set for myself. I want to become a Triathlete! I eventually want to run an Iron man but that is something I see as a looooooong term goal. For those of you who don't know what that in tells, let me enlighten you!!! That is about a 2 1/2 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26 mile run!!!! The fastest woman last year ran the Iron man in 9 hours, HOURS!!!!! That is a long time to continuously be competing and moving!
Anyway, back on subject! I have been training (lightly) for my first Triathlon and want to kick things up a notch for the last month and a week I have to train! So wish me luck! I will be posting my workout and food schedule and I will be tell more about my self and my family as soon as I can (hopefully later today), it's lunch time and the natives are restless.

Aw friend! I love your blog! You are such an inspiration to me. I can't wait until we can BOTH do a triathlon together... although I have to admit the iron man looks a LITTLE intimidating! HAHA!
Good luck Rach! :) You know I'm rooting for you!
Love Nikki
Awesome Rachel!!! You can totally do it!!!
