Miles to Go (But Miles and Miles Behind Me)

I got inspired to post this because my sister Amy just posted that she hit the 500 mile mark in her running so I thought I'd see how far I've made it in my training since I tackled the triathlon stuff. I need a reminder of just how far I've come and just how much I've accomplished because I've been feeling awfully discouraged lately-- I'm having a horrible time trying to get my Christmas weight back off. So here goes my reminder of just how much hard work I've done:

Swimming: 110 miles

Biking: 2,602 miles

Running: 802 miles

Holy moly, I've traveled across the country by bike! And I've come a long way from the girl who was mortified to be seen in a swimsuit and couldn't make it more than once across the pool. Certainly someone who has managed to run 800 miles when she doesn't enjoy it can manage to eat more vegetables even if she can't stand them! Right???? No need to be discouraged. It's a journey, all a journey, and I'm still headed in the right direction.
