Oh how I love this woman ...

Hi all ...

Is this thing on?

Testing?

Hmmm ... not sure if anyone is listening ... (err, ummm "reading") ... but here I am ... again.

Here I am, sitting on my great green chair ... thoughts being drowned out by the sound of my kids playing school, the dishwasher is running, the dog is making some chewbacca-osh noise ... and I was engrossed in my friend's blog ... I LOVE this woman, I hang on what she says ... I can't wait until she writes again ... and she has inspired me to get back in this, blogging away ... a place for my thoughts, my challenges, my successes ...

Thank you for inspiring me to be a better woman, mom, friend, athlete ... and blogger.

So, let's play a little game o' catch up ... shall we?

We shall.

The last post I had was from June in 2009. Matthew had surgery around that time, it got infected and we had an impromptu vacation at Children's Hospital in July to take care of said infection. This all derailed my training and racing quite a bit ...

I had a fun trip to Vegas last August, got to enjoy time with old friends, got a new tattoo ...


I am now growing out my hair to make a locks-of-love donation ... it's at the driving me nuts point now, but I figure by the time my race comes around in August I'll be ready to chop it all off.

Oh ... and ... "The Race" The Ironman 70.3 that I signed up for ... August 8, 2010. I must be in the best shape of my life ... no more, no less ... and I will get there, slowly but surely.

I have been sidelined monthly though as I am working through my migraines and all the bullshit that brings with it. I've had some really odd hormonal crap happen, and through it all, my body is getting back into the groove.

I have a headache right now ... which is thoroughly annoying. I had a swim planned at CU in Boulder, but knowing how I feel now, it will certainly bring on a migraine later if I push it ... so I'm going to walk around MacIntosh Lake ... listen to worship ... and make my family a great dinner ... this is how I have been lately, taking it all in stride ... I know what I need to swim, bike and run ... and I'll get there.

Again, this woman that I adore, thank you ... more to come.
