Goals for the Week 25: Here we Go!
One year ago to the day, this is Ironman Dude on Father's Day, finishing his second Ironman at Couer de 'Alene. I thought it was perfect to share, because it highlights the kind of Dad he is. Here he is, in the middle of the bike (~50 mi), and he comes over, stops, and hugs the kids. Stops and Hugs the kids! WTF? This, my friends is something I would NEVER do! I'm just too competitive or something. I'd would just wave and ride on. But not him. That's his style and it's something I'm trying to emulate. And he managed to do the IM in 11:06 hrs- I'm jealous and inspired. And I just gotta show how cute the kidz looked cheering last year:
Which leads me to my Goals for the Week:
Athlete: Finalize my new training plan. Since I parted ways with my former trainer, I need to focus and finalize my new training program. Luckily, my Nutrition Gal, who also formerly trained me, is on board with helping, so I should be good to go.
Mom: Get the kids hair cut
Wife: Date night. Sooo needed. make it happen;-) either fri or sat nite.
Friend: Book a flight to LA for August for the wknd. I get to go see RENT the musical:-)
Personal Growth: I need a lil' me time. Not just me and girl time 'me' time, but a venue to just be me. So that could look like meeting with an intuitive counselor, having a coffee, swimming at night, going to a bookstore, something! I need a block of time for just me this week.
As always, I write these on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to read them each morning as I'm chugging down the coffee and planning the day. Now, for all you... What do YOU have going on this week? Please share!

My goal this week: keep the kids occupied and having fun while prepping for the in-laws arrival/Thing 1'a b-day party on Saturday--eek!
Have a great week!
Goals for my week? Create my marathon training plan so I can start it next week. Get to Costco. Take my daughter for an xray she should have had a month ago...
I am still working on goals for this week. I skipped all cross training for the last couple weeks so need to get back on that.
Hello my name is Angie and I am a run-aholic and its been 3 days since my last run....
Enjoy your me time.
I hope you love RENT! I saw it when it was traveling, but I've heard the West Coast version is going to be full of amazing people!
My goals for the week include catching up on reading blog posts. Have a great week!
Your hubby sounds like a great guy and wonderful father! I love how he stops just to say hi and hug the kids:)
Make sure you have that date night! I agree, that getting alone time with the hubby is so needed:)
Date night..priceless! You would be surprised at what just a simple small nigt does for the soul. So if you get in a bind and it is just not happening, just go sit on the porch together and have a glass of whatever suits you...and just talk!
Your goals are always great!
