**Stuff Stuff Stuff!!!

Six days before we leave to California, and 2 weeks 1  days before the 2011 Los Angeles Marathon... I am feeling all kinds of emotions:   Excitement, Happiness, Sadness



Excitement:  the closer it gets the more excited I get...  I am really, really E-X-C-I-T-E-D!!!  I could  Screammmmmm!!! SERIOUSLY!!  I get the overwhelming sensation to jump up and down,  and do knee highs really, really fast... If you know what knee highs are, you  probably think I am just Fricken WEIRD!!!  LMAO!!!  Psst... that's because I am...

Happiness:  the closer it gets for us to leave I feel so much Happiness...  When I think of Cali, it brings me to a happy place, comforting place, familiar place, you know what I mean... This was my home for more years then any other place I have lived...  California is just the place I honestly belong, kinda like a missing puzzle piece... I miss California!
Sadness:  As much Excitement and Happiness that runs through me right now, there still an element of sadness... I will miss my friends here in Texas, and I will be saddened not to be able to share my marathon experience with all of them. 
On a lighter note, yesterday, I felt the urge to go out and get some much needed shopping done... I shopped for  "workout" stuff... Running shorts, Running shoes, Resistance bands, swimming watch, foam roller, new ear plugs for my ipod etc.  I had good time shopping... I typical am not a shopping kinda girl... LoL... I actually find clothing shopping to be somewhat "STRESSFUL."  But this time around, since I was shopping for things to use when I swim, run, cycle, or workout, I  enjoyed myself.   I know, it's the weirdest thing... 

I will say this I am very excited about my soon to be new running shoes.  On Sunday, I will be purchasing the male version of  Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 running shoes... You ask, why Sunday?  Brooks is having some kind of promotion at Dicks.  If you purchase Brooks running shoes, you  get $10.00 of the cost,  I also filled out an online survey for Dicks which gave me an additional $10.00 off the cost as well.  So I'll end up saving $20.00 on Sunday, what a  Sweet Deal!! 

Today's Workout for our Tri training consisted of 1200 yards, I honestly can't keep track if it's not written on the board like in my Master Swim class, hence the swimming lap watch I was shopping for, LoL... We mainly practiced drills today... Stream Line, Catch Up, and Freestyle Swim...
