2013 was the year of activity and meeting new friends.

I have a few different groups I #swim#bike and/or #run with now and have met many new great people. These type of groups exist everywhere you just have to look a bit harder.

** 133 runs for 423 miles in 87 hours. A lot of those runs were outside mostly in Dec. for #Marcothon
** 176 rides for 3,600 miles in 224 hours. Only 32 of these were indoors mostly training for indoor triathlon training and trainer rides. MANY group rides with the great folks at GoodSpeed Cycles. I even picked up a new road bike in April from GoodSpeed which is what most of the miles were put on.
** 60 swims for 37 miles (65,120 yards) in 20 hours. Only 4 were in open water - Lake Michigan. Solo lap swimming at H-F Racquet & Fitness Club. I still do not know how to swim but I am joining a swim masters group this week so wish me luck.

I have lost 40ish lbs and about 10 inches off my waist. I used to shop exclusively at big and tall stores because I was too big for normal stores. Now, I can no longer shop at big and tall stores because I am too small, lol. The only clothes I can fit from a year ago are my shoes and socks. My diet still needs LOTS of work as i am an emotional eater ... so I exercise more. 

My lifestyle has been forever altered!
