Hey everyone! Well, I got up and got my workout in! I ended up not being able to go to the pool so I just ran here on the treadmill. It is a little difficult to run while watching 4 kids (4 years old, 3 years old, and 2 babies that are 1 year old). I was watching my friends kids while she went and swam. Hm.....well at least I was helping someone get their swim workout in! lol.

I am in Utah about an hour north of St George and I signed up to be a volunteer for the Iron Man! It is two weeks from Saturday (May 5th). I am way excited. Last year we volunteered at a bike station and then went to the finish line around 10:00pm. It was SO inspirational to watch all the athletes and to cheer them on. I have been watching Youtube videos on the Ironman and talk about motivating!!! If you are ever in a slump from training for something....watch one of those videos. Amazing.

I was so inspired yesterday I thought about training for a half Iron Man at the end of August. But doing more research, I don't know if this is the right time in my life to devote myself to that. With 5 kiddos (the oldest is 8), it is hard to even get one workout a day in, let alone 2 that you are suppose to do for training. So, I am thinking the smart thing for this year is to focus on training for an Olympic, which was my original plan. )

Man! I have a lot to share today! ) Eating has been clean. I have been REALLY tired, but I am just moving forward. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Have a great evening everyone!!!
