You are so inspiring! I can't wait to read about your first du and tri!
You had a great month!! Congrats! Keep up the awesome work :)
What a great month Marlene! Keep it up!!!! :)
NIce month! Very inspiring.
And that Pink Grapefruit soda sounds awesome! I'd love to try it if they made it here, but I don't think I've ever seen it before!
Alright, I'll admit it...I LOVE Big Brother! I hate but love that it comes on 3x a week...so addicting!
Impressive mileage for July. It's been a tough month with the heat and humidity so way to go.
Long live PC's Diet Grapefruit drink.

Congrats on another AWESOME month.
Channeling some of your great momentum and positive vibes.

oooh, big brother!! i love how last night went down. i won't say any more though in case you didn't see it yet. :-)
great month, rock star!! so much going on for you right now!! august is going to be a great month.
You are killing it these days. Keep up the great work you are an inspiration to many.
You had a really good month. Mine was good as well. I'm so glad there are so many others that are willing to go swimming and biking. I'll stick to the running thank you. Have a good week!
How you squeeze all these things into a routine + a LIFE every month is still sort of beyond me ;) haha, things are looking just right for that Tri-thing you're doing soon!
Napa in 2012...for the marathon there (in March)? Or just fun + wine?
holy goodness that's a lot of miles in july. especially with the heat and humidity. nicely done!
Another sweet month of you! (I love your hubbs face in the background of that photos. pricelss!)
My July was waaaaaaay off. Actually a bit of a bummer fitness-wise however it's August 1st today a brand new month. I'll look forward to loads of improvement over July. And hopefully an end to the insane heat and humidity!
Another busy month for you, even with the heat! Great job!
Very very busy month! Nice job on all your workouts! You are really finding a good balance! Keep it up!
the camping photo with hibs is too funny!!
there was a time I kept up with all of my numbers... hmmm...maybe I will start back...next year :)
I'd like to see hours slept, I bet I beat you in that category.......... HA
Boy, July was a big month for you. Keep up the good work.
ANIMAL!!!
You are KILLING it!!
Awesome Month Girl :)
Another great month for you! WTG!
Funny you should say that about the bike. I need to buy a bike this fall and part of me keeps wondering if I should just go ahead and buy a bike I could do a duathlon with LOL.
i love big brother too! do you guys watch the american version or is there a canadian one that runs at the same time?? i have always been so curious!
Yeah I'd like a road bike too even though my hybrid is quite new. I'd like lots of bike things.
Great month, Marlene!!!
And, btw, that's what camping is all about. This past weekend was far too much junk for me, too, but what the hell? Gotta live. And you run (and bike and swim) enough to enjoy lots of goodies. OR junk!
I'm also horribly embarrassed to admit that I watch Big Brother...
I watched only the first season of Big Brother. Don't worry... I'm not judging you.
You had an excellent July. Mine was full of wedding-related "GSD." :)
Another great Month Marlene!! My july went pretty considering the Wedding craziness! ha ha! :)
