Hello everyone!!!! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We had a blast camping all weekend, but I had a difficult time transitioning into my new diet.......I am 11 weeks out from the Europa Pro Fitness. I did a little too much eating, and not enough cardio this weekend!!! I am back on the wagon now though.

I want to say a HUGE congratulations to my good friend and fellow IFBB pro Kristi Tauti from Beaverton. She placed third in her pro figure contest in California last weekend!!!! So that means that she is OLYMPIA bound!!!! What an accomplishment Kristi- you deserve it!

I have had a lot of people ask me where they can see the recent news story about me, so here is the link:

So, I have told you all that I am training for a 217 mile relay race in August....I am one of 12 people on my team. We are each responsible for running 18 miles over a 2 day period. I will try to keep you updated on my distance and running times, so here is week one: I ran 4.8 miles in 44 minutes 2 nights ago (so I think that is about an average of a 9 minute mile) which I am SO excited about. My husband informed me that I am NOT a very pretty runner....LOL. I am a little "stomper" and I run like a wrestler....he said. Well, I am a gymnast!!!! Its logical that I would run like a stocky little gymnast :) LOL You gotta love a truthful man....it keeps me humble....hee hee hee. He doesn't let me start thinking that I'm "all that"!

Well, off to prepare my meals for tomorrow. Train hard, no excuses!!!! Love ya,

Tami
