Subject: hello - another mama joins the ranks!hey,
i'm autumn, mama to two red-headed daughters (3 years and 6 months ). just did my first 5k and turned right around and signed up for my first tri (short course 1/3m, 10m, 2.5m ). just started running this winter to try and get rid of some post-partum weight and am actually beginning to enjoy running. have always loved swimming and cycling (i don't drive, so my bike is one of the main ways i get around ). i love hiking and backpacking, so it will be a challenge to balance training against our need to get into the woods (unless we camp by a lake and i bring my trail runners! ) not to mention the garden, etc. on monday i will have 18 weeks before the short tri (http://www.brewhouse.net/brew/events/index.html ). i've been running, swimming, and/or biking every day for the past month, and if i had to do the race tomorrow, i could... i'd just be really tired at the end.  |
