Wow - I really need to get better at updating my blog....... Well, I guess I need to update what has been going on since the last time I posted in April.
On May 16 I completed my first duathlon..... My time was exactly where I figured it to be at 1 hour 45 minutes..... The first 2 mile run was 21 mins, the 11.5 bike was 48 mins and the final 5k was 34 minutes... It was a very cold and raining day....but I still had a blast.... What was really nice was that my friend Jennifer ran it with me and that since it was only about 2 miles from my house, my hubby and kids were able to come watch me....
Additionally since April, I had been able to loose almost 10 lbs... It was slow, but I was doing it....
Peyton got done with school on May 21st and so far they have had a good summer...
Unfortunately the first of June Trey and I went to Vegas for a week and now I am having to loose all 10 of those lbs I originally lost.... :( we got to spend plenty of time at the pool and saw hoover dam with my dad and my step mom... It was nice to be able to see them for a couple of days and enjoy celebrating our 10 year anniversary.. (a little bit early)
My work is having a little challenge at work, so I am running daily around the office complex. But after June 25 I am going to really focus on swimming 2 to 3 times per week and also getting on the bike at least 2 times a week and running when I can. The reason for all this work???? I have my first triathlon of the year coming July 31.....
Within this training I also have to go back home for my 2oth high school reunion.... I am going to have to make dang sure that I get some running in that weekend as well.....
That has pretty much what my summer has been so far....and I am starting over from scratch this week - really want to continue to loose some weight between now and my 20th high school reunion.
About Me
- Rebecca
- Olathe, Kansas, United States
- My name is Rebecca DeMoss-Koeneke and I am originally from Iowa City, Ia, that is why I say I am an Iowa girl at Heart... I have lived in the KC metro area for almost 20 years. Since moving to KC, I married the most wonderful man in the world, Trey. For 3 years, he was a stay at home dad. Which was great for me. But in late 2010 he went back to work. That has been nice too, but required a lot of change on my part... I have two awesome kids. Peyton 7 and Emily 4. And 9 year old Border Collie Lab mix named Sinjin..... This blog will be for me to document several different things.... first of all my goal at a more healthy life. In March of 08 I began a new chapter of my life. I quit some bad habits and started Weight Watchers and working out. March 08 started out at 200lbs. By March 09 I had lost 30 lbs... In September of 09 I ran my first Triathlon. 2. I will also post updates about my family including pictures.... Unfortunately in 2010 I gained a lot of weight back, so 2011 will be another year of getting that weight off. My goal is to loose 30 lbs. Also in 2011 I am going to participate in more tris, dus and half marathons...
