Have I mentioned...
Have I mentioned How Freaking Hardcore I am lately? I have been going to they gym at 6am four times a week for the past three weeks for an hour of strength training. I? Am not a morning person (but I think I'm starting to become one). On the days that I'm not up before 6, I feel groggy and bleh and out of it...which leads me to believe that (gasp!) I should get up at 6 every day.

Have I mentioned that I am a huge coffee fan?? I wasn't a coffee drinker until I started working out at 6am (coincidence??). Now? It has a death grip on my soul.

Have I mentioned that I think I'm going to do a triathlon this July? A few friends are on board for the Lifetime Triathlon at Lake Nokomis on July 12...so I thought I might as well throw my hat into the ring. I got clipless pedals and bike shoes this weekend. A friend and I got coordinating swimsuits and swim caps(see below). It's all about the gear.



I'm Lloyd (orange), she's Harry (blue)


Have I mentioned that my mom is really, really cute? She sent me flowers on the 1-year anniversary of my knee surgery with a note that said "Happy Birthday to your ACL".



Have I mentioned that (knock on wood) my IT band has been feeling a lot better lately? I've been doing hip strengthening exercises daily and foam rolling the crap out of it...and it's starting to pay off. It's still a little stiff in the morning, and for the first few minutes of a run, but the pain goes away relatively quickly. Praise the Baby Jesus.

Have I mentioned that I'm going to attempt to run my first 20-miler tomorrow? For real this time. Not like last week. :)
