He said he couldn't care less about others' approval of the choices (outside of my approval). He said they haven't got a clue as to what we do, so why care? LOL Edited by jarvy01 2012-09-02 5:38 AM |

On top of that you are being a unbelievable example for your children! Oh, then the next best thing to all of that...you have all of our support jarvy01 - 2012-09-02 6:37 AM I care too much about what people think, that's for sure.

Master 2151 Johns Creek, Georgia | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Jen - you can do it! You won't see that much difference in what you're currently doing except the weekends. (Or whatever day you decide to do your long bike and long run.) After you become an Ironman you can send your MIL a photo of you at the finish line - with a huge smile on your face! |

Extreme Veteran 863 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Jen- I agree with everyone else. You are determined and have already proven a good balance between your children and training. As moms, we do a lot of invisible training when they are still sleeping. Except for weekends, probably not too much will change. My MIL is very judgmental as well but usually doesn't say anything right to me, just my husband. You will do great on this journey! We are all behind you!! |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED I keep obsessing over the weather for next weekend's race. Now the forecast has it at 70 and t storms. Ahhhhhhh!!!! Not good, friends! |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Its up to you and your husband to raise the kids and if you guys think/know you can do it while training for an IM that is all that counts. Doesn't matter what others think because they really don't understand it, and probably don't understand the most of your training is done in the am before everyone even gets up. Having kids doesn't mean life for you stops ... it just means you have to learn to balance, organize, prioritize, etc. Its sounds like you do that just fine. And the lessons you are teaching your kids about discipline, fitness, accomplishing what you set out to do and all of the above will be priceless. Keep your head up ... you are already signed up, but you got an HIM on your plate right now. Get mentally focused on that. You will do AWESOME! |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Gotta ask, why are they more apt to cancel a 70.3 and never an IM? We had a 70.3/olympic cancelled this weekend because of rain. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Anyone recommend a good iphone app to track athletes? We have about 15-20 racing next weekend and I need something more efficient than my manual checking. Preferably what will give updates rather than my using data to get updates. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Wow...my energy is coming back, and I am crazy anxious. My body is feeling much better, and my soreness is going away. Love it. Took this as an opportunity to read a book. Didn't take long to get through Catching Fire.....now reading Mockingjay. Great entertainment! Madge is sick with a cold, cough, and stomach bug, so I am home with her while all my guys head to a family picnic. I felt a head cold coming on yesterday, but I think I may have prevented it from rearing its ugly head by getting some extra sleep last night. I am washing my hands constantly, as I'm sure more kids will come down with this funky cold/stomach bug. |

I don't think I'm going to take it seriously until Friday. It will be much cooler than I had anticipated. |

At a lot of WTC races there are kiosks where you can check / track easier than on a phone. |

Get your feet up a little! My husband's aunt came over this afternoon and told me to go take a nap while she played with Gordie (Fred was already in his crib for nap time). I wasn't going to argue with her |
