This is my favorite "GodTube" video of all time.  It was sent to me by a friend on a particularly difficult day in my life.

Triathamom

Ok, so I have always said I would not push my kids to do my sports. I will have to admit, I was a little excited when my four year old asked to go for a run after we finished a bike ride the other day. Naturally, I said "Absolutely!" We quickly transition, ate a snack, removed the helmet, and gathered little sister. It was an amazing transition, faster that that of Grandma "C" a the 5-mile Lake Triathlon.

We were off for our run, which turned into a nature hike, looking out for "scary monsters" in the woods, walking on bridges and wondering why people litter.

Just to keep me in check, Payton was not to excited to swim at Great Wolf Lodge this weekend. I can settle for duathlons!!

February Biking

Brrrrr.....I made it out for the first outside bike ride of the year.  I figured "pre-superbowl" would be a safe time to brave the roads.  It seemed to be a good choice as I was not honked at or run off the road even once!  It did feel great to have the wind in my face.  I was pondering the state of my tires as I went down the first steep hill.  I found myself thinking, a 20 mph crash won't hurt as bad as a 25 mph crash so I will keep my brakes on.  I seemed to find all the uphill roads in Marysville and was proud of myself when I didn't have to walk!  The best part was seeing my tiny fans jumping up and down in the living room as I returned to our driveway.
