During the Holiday season I actually back slided and gain 30 lbs back. After completing my marathon in October I took a break from my hectic excercise scheduled. And when I mean break I mean break. Instead of running 5 time a week it was down to maybe once a week at time nothing at all, and than instead of going to the gym 4 times a week it was a total stopage. 

And than to make thing worst was that almost everyday we would have holiday treats in the office so instead of passing on them like I should I would stop by and graze on the snack. I knew at one point that I had gain some weight back but never in my imagination did I think I would gain 30 lbs. 

So once that happened I rededicated myself on my running and excercising. I ran a 1/2 marathon on the first weekend of Janaury and have been doing my running and track work to get back down and to continue to loss weight. I also scheduled myself to run the Camp Pendalton Mud run in June and than in July my running group and I plan to hike upHalf Dome in Yosemite Park. Very excited,best part of this new vigor of excercise and running was that I have already losed 14 lbs in the first 10 days!!!!! 

I will update my new plans for this year hopefully now on a monthly basis.     

It's been 2 week after my marathon and my life now has a void that I need to fill? 

Training for the marathon has been so consuming for the past 6 months that now that I completed the marathon and I do not need to train 5 time  week there a major void that I need to fill. So after much soul searching I  going to start on a new challenge. 

I plan to complete a mini Triathlon sometime next year. Who would think that someone who never really ran before would have completed a Marathon which is 26.2 miles and now train to do a swimming, biking, and running event all done on the same day! 

I will keep you update on my progress and let you all know what event I will be doing my Triathlon.
