Ironman 70.3 Wisconsin Next Summer am I CRAZY?

So watching tris has been fun this summer but it has left me with a serious desire to race. Now I've got a wild hair up my butt to bust out my first 1/2 Ironman next summer. Am I nuts? Sam will be 3 and baby #2 will be under 1. Is it even possible? Part of me says heck yeah. I trained for the Goofy Challenge last winter...how much worse is training for a 70.3?

Moving on, yesterday was my birthday. I celebrated by taking the day off and spending most of it by myself. I did grocery and baby shopping. Then made some chocolate chunk frosted brownies. Last night Travis and I did a bit more baby shopping then went to Buffalo Wild Wings. I had some naked tenders and we shared some fries and fried dill pickle chips. I haven't had fried food in an eternity and those pickle chips were amazing!

My birthday presents were awesome too! Travis spoiled me with some new carbon aero bars and some Newton Gravity running shoes! I can't wait to use them!

Today has been busy. We went to spin class and I did some light weight lifting before class. I swear I got the stink eye stare from an older lady. Some people have such a huge problem with seeing pregnant people work out that it is ridiculous! Yesterday I took the dog for a jog and I about made a guy have a wreck when he saw me....33 weeks pregnant and running my dog in the pouring rain! I just chuckled to myself!

After spin we went and bought a new rug for the dining room and another for Sam's room. Then we had some lunch. Right now I'm trying to get a tired 2 year old to take a nap. I've been trying for 45 minutes so far with no luck!

Travis is going to Babies R Us to pick up our new crib & dresser. Then we are going to move Sam's stuff to her new room and get the nursery ready for #2. Oh, and I'm doing a bunch of laundry too!

Week 33 Has Arrived!!!

So I have finally arrived at week 33 of pregnancy #2. On the one hand it is amazing how fast the time has gone but when I think about the fact that I still have 7 weeks left it seems like an eternity until it will be done. As I type this he is kicking around like crazy! My belly looks like some sort of a contortionist is stuck in there desperately trying to get out. This is one amazingly active little one. I've been feeling pretty good and I've been as active as ever. Today I did a 3.2 mile jog over lunch (1 mile jog, .1 mile walk repeated 3 times then .2 jog to finish it off). Tonight I went to spin class with the hubby. 58 minutes and 22 miles......those spin bikes are hard for me to figure out. It will say I burned diddly squat as far as calories goes but it says I rode 22 miles? Something is seriously wrong with that....it does not compute!

In other news, Travis went to his parents this weekend to help out on the far and my mom came over and stayed with Sam and I. We spent a lot of time with my sister and her girls and mom is still here. She is headed home tomorrow. I am so glad she came over and Sam loves her sooooo much!

Sam update: she turned two! I can't believe it! She was so cute! I made her a Cat in the Hat cake which turned out pretty good. She also came down with her first post tubes ear infection and I think this one has bothered her more than the ones she used to get when she was smaller. She was rubbing it and her head. I had to call the pediatrician and get a prescription on Sunday. Why do kids always get sick on the weekend? She seems like she is feeling better now.

I also have been fighting a sinus issue for several weeks. Ive never been more stuffed up in my life and the one thing my doctor told me to take....Tylenol sinus....isn't being made currently. What is up with Tylenol these days? I finally got a prescription for a zpac last week and I feel a lot better but today is the last day of pills and I don't feel 100% yet. I think the zpac continues to work for days after the last dose.....I hope so!

I also watched The Ironman World Championship feature that was on NBC on Sunday and I've started yearning for my first race post baby. I need to look for a run I can do yet this fall but I'm triathlon dreaming for 2012 right now. I'm trying to talk my sister-in-law and hubby into a 1/2 Ironman next fall. Am I crazy? Is this doable with a baby and a two year old and a full time job?

Anyway, I better sign off. Night-night!
