    WOW that is so great!! I wish I had changed my lifestyle when I was a young Mum. I worked fulltime, in a sedentary job, came home, cooked dinner, sat around. Weekends were just housework and sitting as well. :(
    At the beginning of this year I walked around the block- just made it- could not make the bed without getting breathless. Now I walk for 60 to 120 minutes a day, every day and I love doing it. :)
    Like you said, it is not a chore- it is enjoying LIFE and in the meantime you are adding years to your life by being active and healthy.
    Congratulations on doing Triathlon! and you are setting a wonderful example for your children. Sandy. :)

    Wow! Thanks everyone! It is most certainly an experience I will never forget, as well as one I hope to repeat again and again! It's also exciting to be an inspiration to others. Not only to my online buddies, but to my family and friends. I love encouraging and helping others to be active and healthy :)

    Daisy ~ Not sure when my next Tri is, but I already have 2 half marathons this fall, a 5 miler, a 10k, and a 5k ;-P

    CJ~ Work towards a goal that isn't losing weight, work towards a certain mileage, or sign up for a race...I warn you though, it's quite addicting!

    Fitmommy ~ you will!!

    Sandy ~ Don't dwell on what you could have done, focus on what you're doing now, and you are amazing!!

    Allison ~ That's the thing, I suck at swimming too ;-P You'd be surprised by how many triathletes will say the same thing, swimming is the hardest and slowest even for most. I will work on it before my next one!

    Awesome!!! I wanna be like you! In the back of my mind, I keep thinking, "It's not too late for me to do a triathlon." I have to conquer the swimming.

    You're amazing, congrats! You're an inspiration!

    I'm still on the quitting process & I hope that with a new & refreshed lungs, someday I can run. I can swim & bike but not good in running.
