How I did it
It made me
happy and satisfied 
How I did it: I ran with a friend pretty much three days a week building up to six miles. Since then, I've also completed a triathlon and a half marathon! Woot. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I was pretty young (11) but I still remember it well. Can't really advise since I was so young. I remember we stayed at a lodge nearby and the warthogs came up really close. It was kind of freaky but amazing. Read how I did it…
It made me
So happy
How I did it: I begin in January and February, picking my plants as the catalogues begin arriving at my house. Remember to consider the sun and moisture of the area where you are putting your garden. Read how I did it…

This was an exhilarating experience. The swimming is definitely the hardest for me but it’s over so fast that I think I want to work hard on my running speed and biking speed to reduce my time. I guess I just look at the swim as survival. :-) Also, this was my first time and I was “saving my energy” on the bike because I knew I still had the 5k run at the end. Next year I just want to put it all out there.
I’ve completed Financial Peace University and have my baby step 1 complete. I meet monthly with an accountability partner and am chipping away at my debt. WOOHOO
