Colin getting it done.
Pearl enjoying the new floors.
Things have been pretty hectic lately. There's a bit of a rush to get things done before the snow comes... mainly because Colin wants to spend all his free time xcountry skiing, not putting in flooring.
I have signed up for a half ironman next summer. It was such a nice feeling, I felt normal again, the idea of being able to participate once again in our normal activities, instead of feeling like I'm in this state of limbo (read pregnancy) forever. I'm just not one of those women who love being pregnant. At first I thought I should be enjoying every minute, but I soon realized that pregnancy for me is simply an end that justifies the means.
Although I realize (and have actually encountered a bit of "are you crazy? or just stupid?" sentiment) it will be tough to train and have a newborn baby. But I won't be the first one who has done it, and I don't plan on winning. I just want to get back to doing what I love to do, train with a purpose. Train for a race, have a goal to work towards, and have fun along the way. I miss training and racing. It's okay if my season back I'm not exactly "racing" I just want to be the mix again. Plus, I have a husband who backs this 100%, who has a job where he is off 4 days out of 8, and two moms who have agreed to help out! I'm pretty lucky!
So far 29 weeks, and I'm still able to keep exercising. I am still biking on my trainer (we had to flip the handle bars upside down, so I'm practically sitting straight up), I am "running" every other day, and swimming, which is the most enjoyable because its the sport I feel the most normal doing. I have also added a pregnant yoga dvd, which I'm really enjoying, it's so strengthening and stretching, apparently it has good preparation moves for delivery.
Today, Ikea, the place to go for pretty much everything.
Cute pic of Pearl really dirty.
