Shhhh.... I am trying to train...

Yup trying to get my butt in gear here... have the triathlon in less than a month with the Sun Run the next day.. along with a birthday party.. something tells me that Monday I will not be able to move! I am deciding between the names Samson or Emery for my bike name... based on some of the suggestions provided by you ladies! Thanks!!! I googled strength names for boys and those are two of my favs!

Boys have been CRAZY lately... Trace NEEEEEDS everything and repeats over and over, Jaxon is super sweet and Canaan is loving the sound of his own scream... Ear piercing deafness usually follows a super scream from Canaan... yipeee for us. Trace is finally getting his last 2 year molar... after over 2 years of teething I am DONE with that and him teething... thank goodness! I checked his mouth today and sure enough it is through and bleeding... ugh. Jaxon has 6 teeth (one just came thought) and Canaan is working on his sixth. He seems to get them one at a time while Jaxon gets them two at a time... strange.

My brother in law and sister in law had a little baby girl yesterday... LOVE her name... Brooklyn Grace. She is beautiful and tiny... and sooo sweet! My sister in law was lucky this time around labour was quick and she made her entrance almost in the car!!! So the family is now 5 grandchildren deep on one side and almost 4 on the other!!! I am so blessed to have so many cousins for the boys! all girls too ... so at least I get my girl fix.

Hoping to head out for a run soon.. although I am sure it will rain the minute I do, so to those that actually read this... Samson or Emery? What to name my bike... which I am loving more and more!!!

A Tri... and a Name????

Well yesterday I completed my first triathlon... although it was only a short (400m swim, 10 km ride, 5 km run) it was HARD! Lots of fun but mind blowingly hard! Getting in the pool and knowing that all around you people are swimming and trying to do their best... realizing that a 50 m pool is WAY different than a 25 m pool and just hoping to get through it. Then the confusion of getting changed, while wet, and running to your bike with legs that are jelly... finding your bike and getting on it without issues... doing the ride. Realizing you needed to practice more... finding a spot to put your bike, then looking for your backpack that another rider placed their bike on, and shedding some gear before the run. Your legs feel like LEAD for the first km... which you can't believe is only 1 km. by about 2 you are in a groove and realize that YES you are almost done! You make up some time lost during confusions and changes and come out feeling pretty darn good! I can't wait for the next one... April 16th. I am doing a Sprint so 700m swim, 20 km ride and a 5km run!

After all is said and done I have been told by a few people that I need to name my bike... He is black and white and grey... a road bike and I love him! Soooo anyone want to help with his name? suggestions?
