Random Thoughts

  • My right heel hurts. I'm not blaming the Newton's yet as the pain came after my first track practice in a few months during which I only wore the Newton's 1.5 miles. I'll wear my old shoes until my heel calms down and slowly start the "break-in process" again.
  • It is hot outside.
  • I cannot wait to go home next week. I get to spend time with 2 of my 3 favorite girls in the world and also get to hopefully spend a day on the river with those girls and my parents.
  • I cannot wait to ride my bike while I am at home. I can ride from the driveway without worrying about getting killed...no 40-70 mile drive required.
  • I am not perfect and I'll be the first to admit it although I think others may be jumping in line to say it first these days.
  • Tomorrow I go back to "group running." I hope I can keep up with the group...really not sure about that right now.
  • I have no idea what my bike plans are yet for Sunday and that drives me crazy.
  • Maybe I have a touch of OCD...don't we all?
  • I wonder what I am doing/have done that is so wrong.
  • I think Jon and I are going to look at FJ Cruiser's pretty soon. I'm excited for some reason...I am not getting a new car any time soon.
  • My best friend's mom said she wants to try to come watch IMFL. How cool? Hopefully that will give me the little kick in the butt I need right now...my motivation is severely lacking...but thoughts of spending the day after the race on the beach help a bit too.
  • What's for dinner?
  • Bonktown.com. Do not go there. Trust me. It is addicting. I did pick this up in fuscia/black for only $37. Too bad it will be 6 months before I can wear it.
  • I might have gotten over my aversion to wearing an aero-helmet. Maybe.
Random thoughts, anyone else?

I love Bonktown.. a little too much. haha. Super cute jersey!

Hope the heel feels better! Hope it's not the shoes :-(

FJ cruisers are cool!

I love when people come out to support races, especially when it's sort of out of the blue and unexpected. :-)

How's training going anyway? Besides the heel. :-)

... I liked this post. I may copy the format. :-) Have a great weekend!

Random thoughts,

Why am I wanting to lay in bed and read books more than train?

My house is a mess and I don't know where to start in cleaning it.

I enjoyed my vacation too much and work is a bummer.

School starts in two weeks!!! I will have more time to train with out a kid at home.

Why do the gals at the nail shop never cut my toenails short enough and a week later the nails are cutting into the skin on my other toes during a run or a bike?

I feel like going shopping but there is really and truly nothing that I need. I have too much stuff as it is.

Is that random enough for you???

See you at the meeting on Monday.

My random thoughts:

- baby shower complete...so glad the stress of coordinating with people I don't know is behind me

- baby brother is hurting my back

- I haven't seen you in ages. We need to do lunch.

- getting icing for sugar cookies to be the perfect consistency is a whole lot of work...or at least takes a whole lot of patience

- I miss Diet Dr. Pepper and Mocha Frapaccinos

- Sarah still has a fever. A stubborn fever

Hope your heel feels better soon and you have a great ride in the morning!

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....
