Did ya know?

OK, so it's 3,500 calories to a pound. I burn around 500 calories if I worked out actively for an hour. Do you realize it would take 7 hours of serious gym time to lose only 1 pound?! Amazing.

The Triathlon!

A friend of mine told me about a month ago about the Danskin Triathlon in Seattle next August. I was so excited by the idea and still am today! So the training has begun. OK, really I just like to say "I'm in training . . . "

I am NOT a runner. But my older bro and I went running last weekend and I actually ran 3.4 miles. Me. Amazing. A friend of mine from high school and I decided that we'll run in the St. Patty's Day race in Portland this year. She and I have never loved running, but she's did a couple of 5Ks last year and said they were pretty empowering.
