On Saturday morning we headed to my sister's for baptism of our new niece. She was born on Tuesday of last week, weighing in at 9lbs. 13oz and 21 1/4 inches long. In pictures she looked huge. In person she looked small - the way all newborn babies do. She is a cutie.Saturday night was also Sam's first hotel stay and her first ever swim. Travis, Uncle Marty, Aunt Julee, Logan & River all got in the pool and I documented Sam's first pool experience. She loved it! No nervousness at all! Travis put her on her tummy and she started kicking and moving her arms. It was so awesome! She also did great sleeping in an unfamiliar place.
Yesterday Travis texted me and said, "Thinking of Sam swimming makes me smile". I love my hubby and he is a great dad.
Training for the half marathon on 4/24 continues according to the plan I documented a while back. So far so good. Saturday was 9 miles and it went well. Today was 8 miles with 4x1600 at 8:56 pace (remember all you fast people reading this blog....I am slow!). It was tough but not too bad. Am I starting to get my endurance back.......hmmmm..........we shall see.Now on to tri training. We still haven't signed up for any races and I haven't been to the pool in months and months and months. Have I mentioned that I don't really mind swimming but going to the pool is a huge pain in the butt. I'm not even going to set a goal date for getting started again.
Well, I better feed my baby and get her to bed. Take care everyone!

ReplyDeleteHi Beginner Tri---
ReplyDeleteI love your new pics of Sam in the pool. SO CUTE! How old is she again? I'd love to get Max swimming too but he's just shy of four months and I still think that it's too early. What do you think?
As for your training, you're NOT slow, you just had a baby! I'm also training for my first half postpartum. I run my race in May. I've also added some hill workouts to my plan. They seem to be helping with the speed and fitness.
Let me know what you think about the swimming.
Happy running,
Runnermama
Sam is ADORABLE! Such a fun time in life. You sound like you are doing just fine with your training and you know what? If trying to get back into triathlon shape adds stress to your life right now, don't do it. There are years ahead for all of that.
ReplyDeletewhat a CUTIE! I love that last picture. :)
