Duathalon Photos

I only have pre race photos to show you since I was all alone -hopefully at the next one hubby and the kids will be there so I can get more "action shots"

Just about to head to the starting line

Here I am at home - trying my first mirror photo - its a lot harder than I thought

This is the top that we get supplied as part of the entry fee for.

Here is my bike ready and waiting!

 

 

Apologies for the sideways photos I need to learn how to change them before posting.

Duathalon Finishing Certificate

Here is the Offical Time

Not to bad I thought for a first timer and it gives me something to improve on when I do it all again on 17th April.

Yup I entered two at the same time.

The offical photos are not that cheap so I am still trying to work out the one that I want and will post it when I can.

Since I was there by myself I don't have many photos but I am going to go thru them and see what I feel is blog worthy!

Duathalon Day!

Today is the day I will be participating in my first Duathalon.

Update to follow later in the week.

Elvis has left the Building and was in the Park..................

Gotcha!

As a Family we headed off on Sunday for a family day out and ended up at a Free Concert called:

Elvis in the Park

huh huh.............

It was lots of fun, sitting around watching the Elvis impersonators and the old rockers walking around in there Elvis gear, or Elvis Tattoos all over there body.

My Dance Class had a stall there as well and did a performance to show off the skills

Here are a couple of photos showing my different dance teachers in action!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!

Today sees me celebrating my 42nd birthday.

It willbe spend crafting for most of the morning - a little shopping in the afternoon and then we have friends and family coming over in the evening for BBQ.

It will be fun catching up with everyone.

Today also marks the beginning of my 43 Things to do before Turning 43 with the first item ticked off being having a BBQ at our place!

I have also started a page listing everything that I am wanting to achieve in the following year - they are all achievable and I am looking forward to achieveing them all.

December Monthly Goals

Well here they are the goals for the month:

1. Get under 100kgs!
2. Continue to consume at least 2 litres of water over the weekends
3. Swim 4 times this month (Part of the 43 List)
4. Complete at least 2 crafts this month (Part of the 43 List)
5. Make at least 2 cards this month (Part of the 43 List)
6. Have fish at least once this month (Part of the 43 List)
7. Complete at least one other item from the List
8. Begin one of the longer task from the list

So I am trying to focus on getting started on items off my TO DO LIST so that I can get the momentum going with it.
I think with the busy month ahead I should be able to complete all of these things without causing too much stress -
Lets hope Number 1 co-operates this month!
