Pseudo Century

Today I did a super brick...
1. Fix flat tire (took 23 minutes...I was not happy...before 6am)
2. Ride trainer
3. Drive to Pearland
4. Bike 64 miles
5. Run 3 miles
6. Eat greasy lunch
7. Drive back to Houston
8. Ride trainer again, this time with new wireless earphones, and watch High School Musical
9. Piddle around
10.Eat way too big dinner

Not the most conventional way to get to my first century ride of the season, but it works. It did take course over the span of 10 hours, so I'll call it 10mph average. Actually, I averaged 17.0 mph for the outside part of the ride (64 miles) which was pretty cool. Speaking of outside, it was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day. Soooo much better than this ride last year when it was cold and raining. The roads got rough towards the end and the wind picked up a little bit, but I was still totally content because the sun was out and the temp was about perfect. I also felt great on our run after the ride, so that is always good too. We all went to lunch afterwards which was super fun. I'm really enjoying the "team" aspect I have this year to train as opposed to last year. I'm not sure chicken fingers and fries are exactly the same as Infinit for fueling "during" a workout, but I didn't seem to have a problem hoping back on my bike when I got back home.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
