What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?
Yes, triathlons were my secret dream! I did one pre-surgery, a sprint, that I walked the entire run. I was hooked but everytime I tried to train I got hurt and quit. Now I train with a smile on my face. I am thankful every time I run, bike or swim that my body allows me to do this. I don't know if I will ever do a full Ironman but it is my not-so-secret dream. I would also like to run a Disney Marathon. It's amazing what the gift of surgery has given us!!
Thank you and you are an INSPIRATION TOO! You want to do a tri? I'll come to Canada!

Wow can't believe you did a tri pre surgery, even walking!! Want to know what I did pre surgery in the form of exercise... NOTHING. Thinking about exercise made my brain hurt. LOL LOL LOL
Ok SERIOUSLY... I have talked to my hubby about doing the Disney marathon. I am so IN!! I think I am going to aim for 2017. As you know I am Canadian and our dollar right now sucks, to spend the money to go down to the US is pretty expensive for us, so although I want to go next year in 2016, might have to wait until 2017. We might have to make some plans and have our families come and have a meet & greet & run at Disney! If it wasn't for the Canadian dollar right now I would have signed up for the Disney run and the Las Vegas run for 2016!!
And yes I would love to do a tri, but honestly it scares me. I am pretty sure its a major mental block I have. I was a huge swimmer as a kid, so the swimming part does not scare me, as a teenager I used to bike everywhere and so the biking part does not scare me, its the running. I am new to running and I get this anxiety every time I run. This is what goes through my head as I am putting my runners on "are people looking at me, do I look slow, am I jiggling all over, how is my pace, OMG I am sweating like a pig, are people thinking why is that girl running, she looks stupid." Yes all those thoughts overwhelm me when I go out for a run. Its madness, but its there. I blast my tunes trying to drown out the fat girl inside me that says I can't do it. Ok enough of that look into my crazy mind!
Let me mull it over, but we need to hook up for a run or something. You are in Syracuse, is that right? I need to get NCAA tickets for my hubby there and come and visit!!
The surgery does feel like a gift, one I am beyond thankful for.
