I would like to publicly thank Hanes Outlet for my generous birthday gift. I received an e-mail from them last week. To "celebrate my birthday, they are giving me $1.99 shipping". Ummmmmmm, thanks Hanes. Don't spoil me. I have been wanting to get RW a nice 3 pack of tees. Or not. Aveda, on the other hand, sent me a card for a free full size purefume something or other with no strings attached. Now there is an offer I can get into.
Now that I am in full on taper mode for Disney, I am starting to think beyond Disney to Augusta. I found a training plan online that I think will work for me. (Thanks, Sarah for the recommendation to check out Beginner Triathlete!). I had been to the site many times before but it never occured to me that they had training plans. I usually just use my great google skills to find anything. I had seen several plans that you had to buy but I think for my first one, this one will do just fine and the price is right. The plan I found is 20 weeks so sometime in May I should kick into full gear which means I will really have to limit myself to almost nothing but the training. I decided yesterday to cut even further back on tennis. I am down to being an occasional player on one team now (quite the cutback since at the height of the tennis frenzy there were 8 leagues going on at one time for me!). I don't miss it much now but don't want to get out of it completely so might try to work in a once-in-awhile match just to keep the skills up.
So... to revisit the goals for the year:
1. Nutrition. Lets just say that has already been a problem. I am going to wait until after bday to get on the wagon.
2. Being social. Nothing new to report. I have two meetups in Disney planned. One with a couple of friends, the other with a group I really don't know as well (I met one of the ladies through LFT - they are a TNT group so am kind of wondering if they are trying to recruit me - clearly they don't know how bad I am at fundraising). I also am thinking of going to Big Peach on Tuesday for the Saucony run event. There are giveaways!

Only one week left to the big day. You must be excited.
The plan I did last year for my half was 20 wks. I dont know if you bought the plan yet already or not, but there is a great book put out by Triathlete magazine that has about 9 or so levels of training plans for each distance. I started using it last year and it is a great assett
Happy birthday, Karen! I need to stay current on my favorite blogs! You have good, attainable goals for the year and you'll meet them. By the way, calories don't count on your birthday. ;-)
