Enjoy the moment

What do I have to complain about? Really? I have an amazing husband, great home- great location with the best two kids ever! I got to enjoy a group mt. bike ride on Wednesday with about 10 people- that was so much fun. And I cut 10 minutes off my 5k run time from the same time last year. I have a run coach, my husband gets my insane need to be competitive, and gets when when I freak about a bad training week.

But seriously- give me a break. I am living the sweet life. No- we are not going to Uganda this year and no, it doesn't look like we are adopting two more kids this year, but timing is important. Maybe this isn't the best time. It may be my time- but not the best time. Relax. Why do I need MORE? I just need to be great at what I have. Spend the extra time with Joseph and Luke. Enjoy more rides and swims and runs. How cool is that? I am 33 and racing better than ever. I am out there doing it- not just on the couch contemplating it. I want to be racing when I'm 60. Well to do that, I have to be racing now. Slow down, shut up, enjoy the ride!

Head wind

There are have been days even months lately that I have felt I've been sailing by. A Breeze. My home life, my training.

Now I feel like I've hit a head wind. I don't know what is going on with Uganda and adopting. My training is going well, but I feel sluggish this week. Am I in good shape? Will I do better this year? What about Mt. biking? I am so unsure. Mike said that's what racing is for...and I guess they are right around the corner. But I hurt this week. My right upper arm muscle is sore from swimming and my right groin muscle aches. And I am so sad about our trip to Uganda being pushed back.

I need to go full steam ahead. With training, with my spiritual walk. I just need to keep chugging along and not get discouraged. I need a training partner.

Anyway- head winds are tough. But a little push back could be good. It will only make me stronger..right? Ahhh. My head needs a rest. And I need a good laugh with the kids. I love being a mom. The kids keep me motivated.

We did do a camping trip for my birthday. We camped at Buffalo Creek CG Saturday- Monday. What an amazing time. This is why we moved here. I know what heaven will look like to me. And I live here. Amazing. I think I need another run in the mountains.
