I know I'm training for an Ironman when...

- the only things in my dishwasher are 12 bowls and 12 spoons
- my legs did not know the definition of "run" tonight at track
- every piece of furniture in my apartment has become a drying rack of some sort
- my birthday balloons are still decorating my apartment
- I constantly find myself dreaming about the Mr. Ghatti's pizza buffet
- it is 7:45pm and I am getting in bed in less than 10 minutes
- I smell like chlorine
- my tri bag smells like, well, not good

Only 3 more big weekends of training and then it is taper time. I think I can make it!

I've seen the symptoms before. With the passage of time, this will give way to taper dementia, followed by finish line euphoria, followed by the Ironman blues, until you start prepping for the next one.

Of course you can make it! I can't wait to cheer you and Lisa on. I'm glad to hear about the clothes all over the house - I just though I was becoming a slob!

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....
