There is a Chinese Proverb that reads, "To get through the hardest journey, we need take only one step at a time... but we must keep on stepping." Truer words could not be spoken!

| Tony, Me and Tommy - Team FC |
I am so incredibly proud of my triathlon team from Field Controls. We ROCKED the Walnut Creek YMCA Sprint Triathlon. I am truly flattered that my boss Tony and co-worker Tommy entrusted me to be their 'runner' during the 5K portion of the triathlon. I ran my best time at 36:41! We all did a great job!!
My boss started my running/weight loss journey in March when he 'challenged me' to complete a 5K before my 40th birthday... then he asked if I'd run on the team in August. WOW~ Uhhhh, how do you say no?? Apparently, I was up for the challenge... because 5 short months later, I'm almost 70 pounds lighter, healthier and happier for it!
I've completed two 5K's 3 weeks ahead of schedule... & have a team 8K with my running partner Bridget, less than 2 weeks away.

| Lovely, right?! HAHAHAHA |
Those crazy guys actually suggested that we each try to do the WHOLE TRIATHLON by ourselves next year. Imagine if you will, what exactly my response to them was.... Good luck with that fellas!! LOL

| BEST PART OF MY DAY!!!!!! |
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I'd become a runner. I have become very fond of the sport... and I believe it's in my blood. May the journey continue....
Hope everyone has a GREAT Tuesday!! ((HUGS))
