Ugh...no 3 in 3 for me

Heading into Saturday morning I was expecting to come write a post about how I got 3 PR's in 3 weeks. Well, 2 in 2 weeks is going to have to be good enough. I ran the Rodeo Run 10k and had high hopes heading into it. I wasn't expecting 75 degree temps and that familiar Houston humidity at the 9:45 am start though. My previous 10k PR is 54:37 from a flat course in Beaumont on a 42 degree morning. I ran 55:05 yesterday, but it was absolutely the best I could do, so I am not upset. I'm proud of myself for even doing that well. Thank goodness I ran into Augie at the start and we hung off each other's shoulders until about 4.5 miles in when we both said "screw it" and slowed down a bit and talked each other to the finish. I began the day meeting Shellie at her apartment and we ran the 2 miles from there to the race start. As we headed out, we ran over a bridge over the trail riders heading downtown which was pretty cool. After the race we ran more miles, totaling 12 for the day, so not too bad. We had to cut through the parade and make sure we didn't get run over by a horse and spent a good deal of the way back dodging horse poop!

The great news is that my buthigh did not bother me at all on the run, meaning it definitely is a bike issue only, as I suspected. (well, I guess that is good news...at least it isn't running and biking that cause problems)

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....
