Is it possible to be genuinely happy and excited for someone while being massively jealous?!
(and I'm very ashamed to admit, a teeny tiny eensy bit resentful)
I have this friend in my 'other' life. She's one of those girls with a spectacularly perfect body she's never had to work for.
So, she took up running last week.
And loves it so much she's signing up for this year's Chicago Marathon.
One. Week. It's that easy for her.

Safety Race
Congratulations! You have successfully registered for the 2008 US Women's Triathlon Series - Naperville.
This is the only tri I think I'll be doing this year. The baby, work and training for the half marathon are enough for me to juggle. This sprint tri is like an old friend; it's the one I even managed to pull off 4 months pregnant.
Good thing it's an easy one, 'cause it's in about 12 weeks and my wrist just went all wonky. Doctor's not sure why, but it seems to be related to using that hand to hold the majority of the baby's weight. I'm currently wearing a very sexy splint, and am temporarily not allowed to swim, bike or do any yoga poses that puts weight on it. GAH!
At least I can still run, right? Except that I just came down with an icky coughy sinus thing.
So at the moment, the closest I can come to actually being a triathlete is sitting on the couch with my laptop and registering for races : D

Awwwwwwesome!!!
I want to send out a HUGE thank you and giant hugs to Tri Blogger MommyMeepa for the extremely cool, very thoughtful and just generally kick-ass gift she got for the Little Geek!
She saw it at a rummage sale and said she thought of us right away - how sweet is that?! How lucky am I to live near such awesome tri blogger friend?!
I can't imagine a cuter or more perfect way to introduce my little guy to his first road bike...

I've Created a Monster
Yay for tax refunds and off-season sales! I ended up getting my dream treadmill for several hundred less than I expected, and it so rocks.
The bonus is now I have a way to exercise Kona when it's too cold or slushy to run him outside. The only problem is he loves it so much we're already fighting over whose turn it is...
