WHOOHA

Whooha.  Woman Having Optimistic Objectives + Healthy Attitudes

Some really, really cool things have happened to me since I started  my adventuress in triathloning.  Some crazy things have happened, too, as you 17 followers and 2 lurkers are well aware.  (sidebar:  lurker number one - - what happened??  We were so close!).  After my last triathlon I posted a picture of a plaque.  Remember it?  It said  "I tri" with all the reasons you do a triathlon.  I liked it because it really was all the reasons I put myself through all that training:  all those tortured laps in the pool, all those rides up hidden Mount Everest on Robbie's broken bike, all those miles at Stratton Brook.

I tri 

to be with my friends

to have my cake and eat it too

to smile

to hurt but feel no pain

to prove that I am still young

to be my best

to inspire those around me

to overcome my fears

to go faster

for variety

to appreciate what I have

to be fir

because I can

to work hard

to be a role model

to push myself

to finish

so that I can wear a bathing suit

to get out of the house

to be strong

for my family

because it makes me happy

for myself

Isn't that so great??  Well....guess what I received in the mail recently?

Julie, from WHOOHA, sent me this shirt with that wonderful tri saying on it. How cool is that??  I LOVE it.  Julie and her friend Amy embrace a philosophy I think is so important, that having optimistic objectives and a healthy attitude are keys to living a happy life.  Their goal is to inspire women to inspire each other and themselves.   They started a website to do just that:  http://www.shop.whoohagear.com/  And they sell really cute clothes!!  Could it get any better??   I wish you could feel this shirt.  It is so, so soft.  And comfortable.  And the sleeves are long enough!  Trust me,  this is big.  And you can't see it in the picture but it is has a little hoodie.  So cute!!  I have received many, many compliments on it.   It makes me feel good just to wear it.  So thank, you, Julie and Amy, for inspiring me.  I hope I can inspire others in  return.   Take a look at WHOOHA.  And just for you, my precious readers, use the code "Inspire" and receive 10% off your purchase.  ( if anyone needs an idea for me for Christmas..... http://www.shop.whoohagear.com/product.sc?productId=58&categoryId=5 ).
