Kick it good tomorrow!   You'll do great!

Good luck today Cash!

Good luck, Cash!  I hope the weather held. 

Yes, we could use the rain in the ATL, please send the RD our way.  On the other hand, I'm looking forward to walking the open water swims this summer .  It's bad.  I'll post some pics later.

That aqua jogging could come in handy after all. 

LOL!  Good point .

gygyhawk - 2008-01-26 9:10 PM I start the big challenge on Monday...school, in addition to family and tri-training.  I don't know exactly how my schedule is going to play out, but I am determined to get in the workouts this semester and not slack off like I did in the Fall.  Afterall, I have a race at the end of March.  Ya'll keep an eye on me, I'm going to need the encouragement.   

We'll keep an eye on you, missy!  That is really a balancing act.  You'll get it done though.  Signing up for the race is good motivation in and of itself and we will all nag encourage you along the way .

Awww, shucks, thanks, Cash.

No, I don't have custody of those particular kids.  I've tried to help as much as possible but they are older and so it's not as hands on as if they were little.  My two "extra" kids belong to another good friend.  She had to go out of town for a family emergency.  The girls have spent a lot of time at my house in the past year (Dad had open heart surgery and they lived here for almost 3 weeks) and they are like my own so I really don't mind and all five kids have a ball together.   Mostly the challenges are: 1) keeping enough snacks in the house and 2) Getting everyone to school/activities on the right day at the right time (they go to a different school than my kids).

However, I feel pretty good and hopefully things will be back to normal this week and I can get back on track with training!

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!  That is a GREAT example of why bike fit is so important and marking, too.  Thanks for sharing that, Corey.

Mila, I will NEVER again believe you when you say you have a cold, dark heart...I'm sure the kids' parents appreciate you more than you can know...hang in there...

I didn't say I was actually nice to the kids so shush. 

This 8 week stint is to become a Nusing Assistant, it is a pre-requisite for all the Registered Nursing programs around here.  Over the past 1 1/2 years I have taken the science courses (except Microbiology).  I have a BA in Psychology, so once I get into a RN program I will only have nursing classes to take.  I am going to have some long days with early morning workouts, class for 7.5 hrs., then doing dinner-homework-bath-bed with  the kids.  Hubby works second shift, which is great with balancing the kids and my school schedule, but we aren't going to see each other much during the week for the next couple of months.  We have been on opposite schedules before and survived.  I just have to remind myself that when I become a RN, I can basically set my own hours.    Best of luck to you and your g/f, (from my experience, it is important to set aside a date night on a regular basis).   

Good Luck on Saturday, Cash!

Hmmm... it's awfully quiet around here...

Good luck this weekend, Cash!  Gygy... you definitely have quite the balancing act going on.  Hang tough, Cookie .

I think I need some bike porn.  What do you ride??  Let's see pictures .  I'll start.

My pretty bike is a Trek 2100 WSD with carbon stryke aerobars.  Yes, that is a pink fuel box... and, though you can't really tell from the picture, I also have pink Speedplay pedals.  You may giggle at my pink saddle and handlebars all you want, but, for the record, there is no bike as easy to spot in transition as mine.
