What I use in my hair...

Forget the swim shampoo and condishner crap, I've tried them all my hair still feels like straw after using them; so I tried Theorie and hell no I will not waste my money on the other stuff I'm sticking with these and a leave in condishner... 😉🏊

Work, training, breakfast and lil sunshine's....

Training athletes is such a blessing to me, watching athletes give their best, knowing that I have a positive impact on their day/lives is just priceless to me. Today while training we seen some of the most beautiful views while others were snuggled in their beds... 😉

I've changed my training schedule around so I could get everything set for the athletes before they get there (at the parks). So for me no training before they train unless I want to get up at 3:19 AM.... Mmmmm no! 

So after I'm done training them I'm off to the YMCA to swim thankfully everyone understands when 6:00am comes training is done and "the evil trainer is off to do her training!" 

Today was swim 2800, eat breakfast in the car, get my littles ready for school, and out the door... 

I have to say I love my new goggles they done give me "goggle eyes"... 

Perfect!

Running in the rain ok...

So this morning I had to cancel training with my other athletes, my son was up sick. As he falls back asleep I think ok get up run, so I make it 3 miles before I had to "RUN,RUN" my butt home after I heard the thunder... Yep, running in the rain ok... Running with thunder and lightning no way!!! Dried off and made this, training will have to wait...as I listen to the rain fall and hear the thunder.

4000 yard swim today.... That's 2.26 miles...

Today I felt awesome, went to swim with an open mind of kick azzzzzzz and see what you can do. I felt amazing so I went for it 4000 yards, the best thing is I could have went more however, I needed to pick up my little ☀️. 🏊💪😉

2 hour ride!! 🚴💪🚴💪🚴💪

Hills, Hills and Flats....I have to say this is my first ride not feeling like 100000 bucks today was mental toughness! 😳💪 Every time I said something negative I would add 10 min. to my ride. I know not every ride is going to be awesome however, I'm thankful I'm able to do these things and I should never take it for granted (so negitivity = 10 min. Flat or 1 more MM hill climb) 

Awesome run after 99 mile bike ride yesterday.....

Smoking hot day, first time I've ever run up 14/61 wowza!!!! My legs were on FIRE....... 👟🔥 

2 hour 20 min. Put my legs up for recovery.... 

First 99 miles in 6 almost 7 years...

So this morning, I'm getting on my bike to take food to a spot for my 2:20 run today and see this...... How does that work 99.0 right on the dot!?!?! 

So my GPS said 98.6 my bike says 99.0 I'm taking the bike distance. Blane said why didn't you ride the full 100?? I said, I'm saving it for Boulder 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

Wahoooooooo!! 3800 tonight I felt I could go forever, if my legs didn't cramp up... 😳🏊😉

The amazing feeling of H20 and chlorine coming out of your ear after swimming 3800 yards.. My Friday night date with the pool and two cramped calf muscles! #determination #determinedathlete #studiofitstrong  #swimtimebaby #mommyintraining

Nothing compares to morning runs when the sun comes up....

Perfect morning running stairs, hills and sprints total miles 8

Thinking in my training yesterday...

People will always come in and out of your life. Some just pass by, some will challenge you, others will hurt you, while others will always be there for you. 

There will only be a selected few who "truly" will be there for you. They will support you when you're in pain, and sincerely be happy when you no longer are in pain. They will be there even if years pass by. 

I am so grateful for every single person in my life whether they've been there positively or negatively because they taught me who I really want to be. I don't need to conform. I don't need to justify. I am me. "Life will always teach you to love/appreciate the bright moments but be grateful for the dark moments because they are lessons to work through and SHINE." 

Live it. Love it. Be it..... Live a Spectacular Life! 😉

Second workout for today

1.5 hour ride filled with hills and sunshine! First day I've felt like myself getting my miles all in and my speed is coming back wahoooooooo... 

3100 feels so good!

Back in the pool and again nothing like goggle eyes and the amazing smell of chlorine for the day.... 🙈🏊🙊 #swimbabyswim #studiofitstrong #badazzathlete #determinedathlete #ironmanboulder #goggleeyesaresexy #goggleeyes

My morning on the way to the pool just spectacular and my breakfast of yep 2x caffeine..... 

First swim after what we believe I have is Pericarditis. Felt great, a little scared to get in however, if I'm going to achieve my goals, I'm going to be the one to do the work scared or not! Swim Baby Swim.... 🏊🏊
