October 10

blaaaaaaaah! just not a great day. last 3 nights fi has been up a bunch (2 year molars?). legs are sore from the race on saturday. my right ankle is bothering me again, which is not good since i have a 1/2 marathon trail run in 5 days. pms. cramps. bloating. up to 160 on the scale (gah!). first day taking the bus to school for ella and the bus never showed up. e was a sweetheart today, but fi was all over me all day long (bopped in the eye, used as a jungle gym, elbowed in the ribs - sometimes being a mom is like being a cage fighter, i swear!). add in that i ate horrible stuff today (potato chips and jelly beans - why is it that when you're not doing well with your weight you just want to eat MORE?). anyway, i'm wiped out. tomorrow is a new day, right????

October 9

watched bill do a cyclocross race today. looks like SO much fun. he hasn't done one in 10 years (several years before we met), so he had a blast doing it. it was fun to be the spectator too, although i now have an itch to try xc! maybe next year. he's going to try and do at least one more race yet this fall. in the afternoon, we went to the bike shop (www.countycycles.com) where i bought some stuff w/ my team discount and store credit (they give you store credit for the amount you paid for every 4th race you do, and 25-50% for any other race where you place). have $100+ credit, AND i get a store discount (i LOVE this shop!!!) so i got a new helmet, some arm warmers, a bottle, and for a tad extra - matching pink campagnolo hats for ella and fi! much take pictures!!! grocery run, dinner, walk dog, baths...time for some hot tea and an early bed time.

  • 09m /Mi

forgot to stop my chrono and didn't really look at the clock when i finished, but the results are up already! woo hoo! race report and pictures soon.

up early and all bundled to head out to the race. ella is so excited that she was running laps around the house to show us how fast she would race! hope we can still register! i am a virgo and tend to plan ahead, especially now that we have kids. i still can't believe i didn't register for this back in april or something. fi moved back into our bed around 11 last night and was up ALLLLL night after that screaming 'nurse! nurse!' if we have time, we may stop for giant espressos on the way to the race. :)

planned on walked e to school, but we ran out of time. took the city bus, then after she was in the building (and in her classroom - i admit i followed many paces behind her to make sure she got in okay), i walked home w/ fi on my back. stopped to run a couple errands and meet up for coffee with some friends. this was more of a leisure walk than an urban hike. :)

rest day. 10k autumn woods tomorrow (i HOPE! not sure if i pre-registered...and its a popular race, so i really HOPE i'm racing!)
