The Gorilla and Banana Exist

I want to become a Betty!!!

So Betty Designs is looking for an ambassador Betty Designs is THE most fashionable active wear I have seen.  I've been around doing triathlons since 2000.  There has never been a more unique brand of athletic clothing in ALL these year than theirs.  Lori Bowden was my hero and she had the most amazing outfits and I honestly wish that the every day girl could have something very cool too!

Yes, I drooled over the sick looking bathing suits all the girls were wearing in Kona for the past few years, they are for a reason....awesome!

 

Who is Betty?  Well here she is Betty, a fit rock star!
Would I like to look like her..OH YAH!!!  I know just having the opportunity to wear their gear will motivate me to be the best ambassador to them that I can be!

Vote and vote often for me..PLEASE :)

Email them here: kristin[at]brandbetty[dot]com  Tell them Shelley should be there next Betty!!!

Thank ya'll!

Valentines Day

I have to say this was one of THE best Valentines days ever!!!  We ate too much, but we had a great time.  Hope everyone else made out as good as I did :)

How's training going?

Since you asked..LOL.

I'm swimming more, biking more, running..not so much.  I started back the first week in January and just after a tiny amount of running my right knee was killing me.  I finally went to an MD who prescribed an MRI oh you.  Laying in a tiny tube for :45min's wasn't fun.  After a week of waiting the results were thinning cartlidge, scar tissue, inflammation and the start of arthritis.  Why over a month later it still hurts is beyond me.  I started seeing a PT right away 2 x's per week.  We've been working on exercises to strengthen my glutes, hips, etc....he showed me how to tape my knee cap so it doesn't bother me during training.  The method we use is called McConnell taping which works amazingly well.  I have zero pain when we do this.  Today I get to run for the second time this month.  Baby steps.....

I have the hotel and flights booked for San Juan 70.3 and i'm so looking forward to seeing the island.  We'll be staying at the Hilton Caribe which looks pretty decent.  I just hope my training goes well between now and March...it's coming soon!

San Juan 70.3

Yes, i'm in for this race.....just gotta train hard!  Tomorrow I start my swim training, can't wait.
