Training with the family!











Triathlon training is moving along pretty well! I have been swimming just about every other day and walking 2-3 days a week. I even threw in a few minutes of jogging here and there. Biking is going well too.





Today for the first time I took out the new bike trailer we bought last weekend. I am so excited because I was worried that I would not be able to pull it with 2 kids in i.t I pulled it no problem. We rode about 2 miles. Brian and James rode right a long with me well James is a little slow so we may need to get a 3rd kid seat of some type so we can have all 3 kids riding with us.





Even though James is not a very speedy bike rider (he is only 3) he is so supportive of me and my training. He is so encouraging and he likes to talk to me about it which is fun. Charlotte thinks it is cool too but she does not really completely understand that I am training for something. It is an AWESOME feeling to have my whole family supporting me in this exciting challenge. Brian is the one who talked me into it and not only is supportive, but he is training right along with me as my partner. He is my number one supporter and I love that!





I am heading to NY for a couple weeks but I am not going to stop training- I will be training in different ways and then when I come back I will take training up a few notches so that I am ready for my big day. In some ways I feel like I could accomplish it today, in some ways I feel like I have a long way to go and I need more training time. 2 months is a short amount of time, but I am taking advantage of the whole 2 months, I can only improve from here.
