And it Begins...

Well sort of. Today is the first day of training, however Mondays are rest days. So the goal today is to get a bike helmet, sign up at gym and mentally prepare for tomorrows swim and bike.
So what’s this all about...back in September my mom talked me into doing The Vineman half ironman in Sanoma, CA this July. She is in and I am currently #444 on the waitlist. Kind of hard to train not knowing if you are actually in the race, though everyone tells me not to think like that. Hard not to, it is reality! But regardless I am so looking forward to getting back into shape. We were emailed the training schedule for the first 4 weeks, overwhelming doesn’t even begin to explain how I felt. 6 days a week, 3 of those days are double workout days and it goes on like this for three months. Luckily for me I am married to an amazing man who constantly reminds me we will take this one day at a time. He has also volunteered to roll me out of bed at 5:30am when the alarm clock goes off. My mom will also be a good source of energy she has already been training hard and is far ahead of me. A challenge this will be but I am up for it!
As for the motherhood part of this blog coming soon, one challenge at a time.
