Happy New Year - Here we go!

Happy New Year everyone...I hope everyone is safe and sound for their partying...we are having a pajama poker party at the Wecker household!

I am "blowing it out" tonight and then really getting tough on my nutrition, eating habits and training! No more sugar...soft drinks... sweets...anything good! After really not training too hard for about 3 months, it is now time to kick it in and concentrate on this Iron man event! I want to finish strong and not embarrass myself at this event!

Anyway...enough about me...Christmas was awesome at the Wecker household...Santa was disgustingly generous this year, with our biggest present being a baby grand piano for the family.
This has always been a dream for me...so now it is on to piano lessons!

I'll check in later after the hang over wears off!

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Hey Everyone...

I hope everyone is enjoying their families and loved ones for the next few days! Go ahead...eat like a pig...sleep in (unless you are under the age of 10) and drink way too much! Forget about that training ride, run or swim...next week will come soon enough!

Lots going on at the Wecker household...anyone reading this blog is welcome to stop by for some holiday cheer... the door is open! We will be starting with wine and cocktails tonight, followed by Mimosa's in the morning...and the some great food, and hopefully a Cowboy victory!

News and pics to follow--- I need to start tracking Santa!!!!!

White Rock 2006 Was Awesome

It was a great day at the White Rock marathon. The weather was perfect and people were breaking records all over. Some of the people who hit their marks were:

Me!!! (ran the 1/2 -can you believe it - they won't get this horse to the glue factory just yet!)
Diana Stonecipher - personal best in the marathon!
Candy Sheehan - first marathon!
Jim Luchanich (1:28 half...second in age group!)
Cindy Coronado
Jeff Bennett - 3:05 marathon!!! Place 73 over all!!!

I am sure there are more...but just can't remember this morning!!

Some pictures below of the fun and love at the event!!!


Then we wrapped it all up with the Dallas Athletes Christmas party - lots of fun and a great way to send off the year!

Today really starts the Ironman IMCDA training...I must make it to the pool! I have gained a few pounds of the last few weeks and that will only make all this upcoming training worse - so it's back to the grind stone for my waist line!

I'm am finally feeling rested and getting ready to take on this challenge...I should, heck I haven't been the pool or on a bike since August! So here we go...and stay tuned..more to come over the holidays!

Proud Papa...two great girls!

Both my girls..."Moo" and "Bug" had athletic competitions over this last weekend. I am so proud of both of them....

"Moo" is State Champion for Vault at Level 5 (placement) and placed third on uneven bars in the same competition!



"Bug" had a cheer competition at the Dallas Convention Center...their team struggled a little bit, but "Bug" was terrific!


There is something special about seeing your kids doing something they enjoy and have fun at. I also think it is important that they get out in front of people and "do their thing" - it somehow opens them up and makes them better people in the end!

I am one "sappy" guy when it comes to my girls...you would of thought they won the Olympic Gold medal ...my eyes tear up and I get so proud of them. I am very blessed with two great girls and that is my "reason for the season" during the holidays!
