So excited...Kerri and I are back on the beach together. We had our first two workouts and we are so excited about our journey. I have been working out with Matt doing weights and running. This is going to be an exciting time and a very important one. Right now I am working on getting stronger and building upon my foundation that I already laid. Staying healthy is my goal.....I feel really good and I am trying to balance everything so that I can feel the best going into the Games. I currently am taking one of my last classes through Concordia University in Irvine, Ca. My goal is to get a Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration. It has been great and I recommend the program to anyone wanting to pursue coaching as a career. Well, I hope everyone has a great rest of January and I look forward to catching up with you all in February. Please continue to look out for my posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, and Pinterest!

]]> Happy New Year http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-happy-new-year-2012 http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-happy-new-year-2012#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:18:00 -0800 http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-happy-new-year-2012 It’s a New Year so here we go.....Finally 2012 has arrived.

]]> It’s a New Year so here we go.....Finally 2012 has arrived.  I hope that everyone had a great New Year’s and have made some good New Year’s resolutions.  As for myself I have made a few and I plan on seeing them through, with one of them being that I do everything possible to win in London.  I currently have running workouts twice a week, running, lift three times a week, agilities twice a week, and I have been going on the beach two to 3 times a week.  With it being pre-season I am working on getting stronger and quicker.  Also it is very exciting to report that I am taking my last class for my Master’s Degree at this time.  I still have to complete my final portfolio but my classes will be done in the beginning of February.  Everything is coming together nicely.  Matt recently signed with the Dodgers so we will both be able to live and play at or near our home.  I am so happy for him!!!  Hopefully soon I will be able to share news about the exciting partnerships I will be a part of.....I am so thankful for all that believe in me.  Thanks so much for continuing to support me and please keep checking back for more about my journey to London.

Read more]]> Hi everyone, I hope that this finds you all doing well.  The Winter season is upon us, I keep wondering where all the time has gone.  Since finishing our season at the end of August, the time just seems to have flown by.  Kerri and I had a wonderful year, at least I think so, and we want to continue to build upon it.  We finished our come back season #2 in the World behind Brazil (Juliana/Larissa).  Not Bad!!!  After our season came to a close I was able to follow Matt and the Rangers as they made another run to the World Series.  It was exciting but I wish the outcome was different for the Rangers but as Coach Washington would say, “That the way baseball go!”  It has been a nice off season for the both of us and most recently Matt signed with the Dodgers which is great.  We will be able to finally see more of each other once both of us head off into our separate seasons.  Most of you may or may not know that in 2009 I began running volleyball clinics of my own called M2 Volleyball.  I love each and every time I get to run one and share the sport with the generation of tomorrow.  Unfortunately, I made the decision to put them on a temporary hiatus this year 2011/2012 in order to focus on training for the London Olympics.  It was a hard decision but I will be excited to start the clinics back up after the London Games.  So many of you may be asking what am I doing right now......Well, here it is.  I just got back from attending the NCAA AVCA Convention on behalf of Zamst.  I met so many amazing people but I got to do a meet and greet with some young ladies of military families.  These young players traveled from Germany and it was such a treat for me to share not only my stories, answer questions for them, and interact, but I got to surprise them with my Olympic medals and take pictures with them.  When I am not traveling, I am hard at work again preparing my self for London.  I am extremely focused and want to get my self into the best shape that I possibly can.  My workouts consist of : Weight training, Track workouts, Speed and Agility workouts, Hill runs, and technical work on the sand.  I am thirsty for another GOLD and I want to do everything I can to make that happen.  I feel so blessed with the many people that surround me in my every day life, my wonderful group of sponsors, and all my fans that are continuing to support me on this journey.  Please continue to cheer us on and look for my updates.

Dream In Gold!!!!

]]> World Series http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-world-series http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-world-series#comments Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:11:00 -0700 http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-world-series Game 6 World Series

]]> Game 6 Time!!!  I am so pumped not only for my husband, but the whole Texas Rangers organization.  It is neat being a fan and taking in the energy at each game.  I can only imagine what it must feel like when over 40,000 people are chanting for you, waving there towels, and cheering.  I get goosebumps just seeing and hearing it from the stands.  I wasn't able to make the last trip to St. Louis as I was finishing up a class project but there was no way I was going to miss this trip if it came to be.  I am excited about this next game and can hardly contain myself.  I just will get a quick workout in, continue to do my computer work, and pray for no rain.....keys to tonight are: Having Fun, Staying Warm, and a WIN!!!!  So proud of everyone out on the field and extremely proud of my #15 Matt Treanor.  He has come such a long way and had ups and downs but he is here.  Go get them Rangers and thanks fans for cheering.

]]> Off Season http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-off-season http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-off-season#comments Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://mistymay.com/blog/article/-off-season Its Off Season....

]]>             Well Well Well....Where does the time go?  It seems like season for Kerri and I just ended.  We were done competing after the Netherlands event on August 29th.  Now it is time for an off season of recovery, school, and family time. Let me see alll that has happened since season ended to where I am now:

1. Matt went back to Rangers

2. My brother Scott and I drove our car from Kansas City, Mo to Arlington, Tx

3. I get quality time with my husband Matt

4. Continue training by doing: yoga, spin, Zumba, Nike Training Club, and lifting

5. Second to last class for my Masters Degree begins (Legal Aspects of Sport)

6. Follow Matt and the Rangers from Division Titile to the World Series (by the way World Series just got started, so excited!!)

7. Just enjoying the time that I have to prepare for another run at GOLD!!!!!

           That is just a little of what has been happening on my end.  This past year I thought Kerri and I did wonderful, finishing #2 in the World.  We plan to only build on it and get stronger.  I want to thank all of my sponsors for cheering me on, my fans, and my family.  Keep following me on facebook and twitter...Good luck to all of you in season and playing right now and GO USA!

]]> Well well well, where do I start? First off I hope that you all enjoy my new site. Thanks for continuing to cheer on Kerri and I as we make a run for London 2012. The year has started off great. In Brazil we took home a silver medal....losing 15-12 in the third set to Julianna/Larissa. Not bad at all for not playing together for a couple of years. The following week we played in Sanya, China. In the semifinals during the 2nd set I tweaked my MCL and had to forfeit the rest of the match so we ended up with a 4th. Still not bad. I was bummed about getting injured but I believe in things happening for certain reasons. As with any injury I was able to get on the first flight back to get back and get my knee checked out. Thanks Dr. Schobert and Crown Valley Imaging for getting me in first thing that Monday morning. I had a MCL grade 2 sprain but started therapy that same Monday at Newport Physical Therapy (David Bradley). Usually it takes 6-8 weeks but I told them I needed to be back by Beijing so that gave everyone just over 4 weeks. I thought nothing but about healing and getting back on the court. So, with a knee brace in tow, I did manage to get back ready for Beijing. In fact, it would be the first Grand Slam of the year but also the very first time since capturing the Gold that Kerri and I have been back there. After a tough 3 set loss to Akers/Branagh in our first match of our pool, we were able to pull things together and ended up winning the event . It was so exciting and I felt that our team just got stronger as the tournament went on. As we stood up on the podium listening to our National Anthem, the memories flowed. What a great accomplishment for the both of us. We don't want it to stop, but only continue. So where am I today? Right now Kerri and I are in Rome, Italy for the World Championships . We begin pool play on June 14. I am extremely excited and ready for this new challenge. Thanks for the Cheers and GO USA!!!
