Surprise News!

Well there has been a reason I've disappeared for a month . . . . as it turn out . . . . I'm pregnant!  We couldn't be more excited, but obviously that means some adjustments to my race plans this year.  I'm due in the middle of September.



Right now, my plan is to still do the April Triathlon, as a relay.  I decided that where I am NOT an avid runner, that trying to run and train through my pregnancy wasn't the best idea....but swimming, YEAH!  I plan on swimming this entire pregnancy.  The water feels incredible when you are pregnant. I swam and did water aerobics while pregnant with my other two.  I love it because the water makes you feel weightless and like you can still do anything.

Anyway, I felt like I could still swim and bike.  So for now, I am still training in those two areas to compete in my Triathlon!  It would make me feel so incredible to be able to still complete that portion of the race, and also feel like my racing season wasn't a total bust!  So for all my runner friends out there, I may be looking for a counter-part to run the 5K portion of my relay!
