I have been talking to Dave for a while about this but figured it was time to share. My grandmother had to be hospitalized in Jan. I spend everyday with her growing up and even lived with her for a few months after college. That is the reason I cancelled my Dopey race. She is 94 and was not expected to last a week, but being a Sicilian she held on until last night. I had missed my morning workout and left work early to get in my hour bike ride. On the way home my mom called and told me that grandma didn't have long left. I had planned on going to see her the next day and thought I would make it so I went home and got in my ride. I had just made dinner when my mom called and told me that she had passed away.

I was suppose to work today and planned on it. I got up at 0220 to get my run in, and while running decided I needed the day. My workouts for the week are done, although I may do something tomorrow just to clear my head.

It's no excuse but I felt like I owed y'all an explanation as to why I have been so bad at getting on here especially after offering to help Dave with mentoring. I promise I will do better moving forward. My goals for next week are to not miss a planned workout (from iron fit) and to get in 3 stretching sessions.

Scott - real sorry about your grandmother. I sent you an fb message.

Almost forgot to mention - as long as I can grab a spot I'll be doing the Dopey in 2017 as well. A friend has been obsessed with it for years and finally talked me into it. We've got our lodging all set just need to get our spots in the race(s).

Great job!  Your race report is still in draft form, so the link doesn't work.

I missed my workout Friday afternoon because I got stuck at work late. Got in a good one yesterday morning though. My body is extremely sore! Doing another workout at this gym today if my foot is still feeling good (I felt my first inkling of soreness where I broke it yesterday so may need to take it easy). If no gym workout, I will do yoga in my living room to stretch my sore muscles and start tomorrow with a run.

First race of the season done! First AG win of the season in the books!! I repeated as the champ from F35-39 again this year!! Super excited about that, but my performance overall wasn't fantastic. I didn't get home from Vegas until 10pm last night and then I couldn't sleep at all last night. I was really wound up from all the travel and excitement about the race. Race report is up (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=539473) if anyone is interested.

Now I'm baking my wife a birthday cake (lemon). Again, she graciously allowed me to race on her birthday!

Totally off topic- be we're doing a Disneyland trip for spring break- anyone have tips? We've never been. We have three days and are staying at the hotel there for 2 nights. With a 6 yo and probably 5yo niece as well (she lives in LA).

Originally posted by nicole14e Very cool! I teach swim lessons at the Merritt! I bet we've seen each other before. Good old Smaltimore. I hear you on not being able to walk places. I know someday I'm probably going to have to leave the city, but can't even imagine! How old is your daughter? Is she your only child?
