I'm Baaack

I have been writing posts in my head for weeks now, but just can't get them to come out on the keyboard. Life is interesting still. No changes on the marriage front. Just waiting for one of us to get out. My main reason for not leaving is money. And after house/dog sitting for over a week at my parents, I have come to the conclusion I can't live there. The drive is too far, by the time I pick up the boys after work and get out there it's after 6. With homework, and dinner, that just won't work. I have found a potential apartment, so now I just need a part time job to be able to swing it. We did go on a kayaking trip as a family, and had fun. But I was informed up front that it in no way meant that things were ok. There were 15 of us all together going to celebrate the in-law's 50th anniversary. Good times.

This past weekend was the 2nd annual Aflac Iron Girl triathlon here. It was amazing. I will do an official race report tomorrow. I was going to do the Skinnyman Tri Labor Day weekend, but I'm having some major neck/back pain. It's so severe at times that I can't turn to check my blind spot while driving. Not a good thing. So, today I'm calling my doctor, or a chiropractor (can't decide, feel free to weigh in in comments) to get it looked at. Hoping it's nothing serious, and that I can hop back on my bike. Also going to take Pepe to get fitted properly, make sure the seat and handle bars are adjusted to fit me. Maybe that will help with the pain a little. Although, I haven't been on the bike since Saturday, so I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with the pain.

Tomorrow, or maybe tonight, race report. Then I will start blogging daily. Want to document my training for the 2011 70.3!

Today Sucks

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary.  Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of me finding out about the other woman, and two days after that is when we agreed to end the marriage.  This weekend I'm moving out of my house.  Basically the week sucks.  Then throw in the anniversary of my miscarriage fourth of July weekend, and I may as well put myself back in the psych ward for the next 3 weeks.  Yesterday I spent the day mourning what had been my life.  The boys went with their dad for father's day, and I lay in bed sobbing and crying and wishing it would all go away.  I remembered all of the awesome fun times we had as a family.  I thought about our wedding day, the days the boys were born.  The fun times we had together.  Tonight they will be with him too.  I'm going to go for a long ride and run, and then come home and probably cry just a little more.  Then, tomorrow, I will move on.  I will pick up the pieces...

Nutrition Failure

I have three main obstacles preventing me from being the best possible triathlete I could be.  Two of them I have no control over, time and money.  I can't make more hours in the day than there are, and my money situation isn't going to change any time soon.  The third obstacle is my nutrition.  This is the one area that I can fix, and I'm having a very hard time with it.  I want to eat right, and want to fuel my body properly, but need lots of help in this area. Now that the holiday's are past, and we are back into more of a normal routine, I'm trying to force myself into healthy eating habits, and trying to drag the two non-willing members of my family with me.  The trouble is, I'm not really good at the planning healthy meals.  Dinner's I'm pretty good at.  I have been getting better and better at planning a weeks worth of healthy meals, and the boys usually eat them.  But breakfast and lunch I'm not so good at.  Especially since I ...

Triathlon Ramblings

My first triathlon of the season is four weeks from today.  I'm pretty sure I am going to bonk, hard core, but I will finish the race on my own two feet.  This training as a single mom is a little harder than I thought.  Especially with both boys having activities that take up time.  I'm hoping to get on the bike  course at least once prior to the race.  Was supposed to ride today, but my training partner got scared off by the rain.  I still love her any way.  Came to the realization this afternoon that Green Lakes tri takes place on what will most likely be day two of my cycle.  This is not a good thing.  Really hope I'm late this cycle, so that I don't have to worry about it.  I know you don't need to know this, but it's kind of freaking me out.   One thing I had hoped to avoid until I don't feel like a newbie triathlete anymore.   Sometimes men don't know how easy they have it!   Really would still appreciat...
