Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!"

I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile.

Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment.

P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I already know you, no problem; even a simple "hello" is fun to read!

Hi! I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, so not too far from you. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon your blog, but started reading before you did IM Florida last year. I'm doing my first IM this year, in Florida. Very excited! :) I'll also be at Lonestar this year, so maybe I'll see you.

You know me and where I'm from so I guess I will tell you that I really like chocolate and I really hate frogs.

I cannot believe that you are NOT wearing a pink kit in the photos below at the Frost Yer Fanny. Did you feel out of sorts without any pink or compression socks on?

So I guess I am the first. I am from Utah. Saw your blog when I was looking for compression wear. I have vesalvega sychnopy so I have to take a lot of salt, wear compression stuff and drink a ton of water. I also failed the table tilt test...yuck.

I race mountain bikes, and also ride road bikes, but prefer to be in on the trails versus the road.

I love reading your blog, and can relate to how health can interfere with racing and training. I am jealous of all the great weather you have. We still have snow.

Hi! I've been lurking on your blog for probably a year or more. I live in the Houston area, and run and do triathlons, so I've enjoyed finding and reading the blogs of H-towners. I've gotten some good tips from y'all, and enjoy feeling like I'm part of a community even though I'm a lurker.

No triathlons or races for me in 2010 - we've just found out that we're expecting our first kiddo at the beginning of October!

Hi -- I met Clea a few years ago at a 50 km run in Waco, and we have kept in touch, seeing each other at various races. I followed her blog to your blog and... there it is.

Hi! I'm in League City with BAM. We've never met in person but maybe that will change this year. :) I've been reading for at least a year or two.

Hi, I live in the Houston area and run a lot. I enjoy reading your blog because you come across as a very nice person. I have no doubt other people on here will say the same thing. Best wishes to you, and I'll introduce myself if I see you at a race.

I think you know more about me than I even want to think about. Hi and for everyone else, I'm a tri/running buddy in H-town.
Jill (& Bob) said…
Let's see, have known you for 6ish years now...used to run with you back when you were my pace. Now I just run pushing a stroller and that is an even slower slow pace, but it's still fun to keep up on your life by reading your blog! Hopefully it won't be another year (and another babe) before we meet up again!
Um. Hi. I like triathlons and I like you.

Hi Kathleen! I love reading your blog-- we're similar ages and at a similar place in life I think. Plus, your adventures are a blast to hear about!

I've known you for ~26 years, love you like you're my sister, and miss you! So reading your blog is a nice way to keep up with how you are. xo kcm

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...

We did it!

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....
