Happy Halloween!!

I can't believe that it's Halloween already!  That means it's already November....  Sadly, my only tricker treater was the UPS man. 

I know I've said it too many times before, but it still surprises me that work is getting crazier and more intense.  At some pont someone needs to make a decision and we either need to stop testing or restrict what we do when we go live.  We just need someone higher up than I am and with enough balls to say it!

It also helps that I set some goals for next year.  Swimming wise, mom wants to have a family vacation in Hawaii so we will be in Kona in February.  I want to do the swim leg of the Kona Ironman.  I also want to do a swim from Alzatraz.

Swimming is my main stress relief, but I need something that I can do on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays or Sundays.  Since I want to do more tris, I really need to work on the bike.  The bike is my worst leg.  I'm just not comfortable on the bike.  Some of it is my size.  I think that makes me really slow, which makes me uncomfortable.  The smaller girls should make things easier.  So I'm going to take a class on Saturday morning to brush up on my skills.  There is an afternoon class on hills, but I think that may be a bit too much for one day

Then in January there is a kick off for a Cinderella ride in Pleasanton in April.  It's 65 miles will about a 1,465 feet rise through the course so it shouldn't be too bad.   I was hoping to do the same tri I did last year in June, but it looks like it won't be held until October.  I've spent the last 45 minutes searching for alternative races so now it's time to finish this up & head to bed!

Walking/Running wise, I'd like to start doing some more run/walking for an extended period of time.  I'm hoping that my book club group will do the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas next year.  That will get me training in all three of my sports!

So much for getting to bed early this tonight!  I have early calls in the morning so I'm hoping I walk up in time.  I need to hop in the shower by 6:30 (which  is REALLY early for me) so I can be outside of WW for the 7:30 call.  There is a meeting at 8.  I'm hoping I can be in and out for my 8:30 call; home for my 9 am call and then the rest of the morning is full of calls. 

Tomorrow night we are getting foot massages and dinner with the book club girls should be really fun.  I have to be really good and get home early so I can make it to Redwood City by 8 am for the bike class Saturday!  Let's hope I can get a nap in before the Warriors game Saturday night!

I'll let you know how I do tomorrow at WW.

Have a great Friday!
