Well….there’s a reason I’ve been laying low this summer: we announced the pending arrival of Baby LA_Badger! We expect the Little One in March 2011.
Baby's first running shoes - we're all set for the Diaper Dash!
As you can imagine – although we’ve been quiet and not racing, we’ve been incredibly busy.
Race schedules have been replaced with monthly checklists…. Training schedules have been replaced with daily walks through the neighborhood and prenatal yoga. It’s very different lifestyle – slower, calmer. I am happy to say we are taking to the changes quite well thus far.
As time goes on, I miss the training schedules, race mornings (especially with Long Beach Marathon / Half Marathon in two weeks) but a goal of mine is to get back out there in the next few years. Until then – Super Husband, Baby and I will take to some local 5k’s and 10k’s. I’d love to see us do an autumn 5k in 2011, just to get back out there and expose the Little Bugger to the race excitement. And yes – I fully intend to have Baby partake in Diaper Dashes, Toddler Trots, and Kiddie Runs. Yep, I’ll be THAT mom. *sigh*
Until then…..the metaphorical Chute has now changed….it’s not a race finish chute….it’s the beginning of an endurance adventure of a lifetime!
And for any Ironman fans out there….I can’t help this. It’s too darn cute!
Future Kona Qualifier - already getting ready for Baby Triathlons!
Congrats!
Congratulations, girl! I am absolutely thrilled to hear the good news.
The Future Kona Qualifier is perfect.
