: awesome mama!
NRR: ds FINALLY sat on the potty three times today. And stood up once.
no actual excretions, but this is big time progress. I chalk it up to me finally caving and buying the (insert mega-Disney marketed boy movie) pull-ups and telling him he could wear them when he actually peed. 
: but if it works.....

. She's only been dry at night for about 2 weeks though. So I change her jammies and her sheets and get her back to sleep and then I can't sleep. I think I must have just dropped back off at 5:00am when my alarm went off. Ate oatmeal, drank coffee, and drove 1 1/2 hours to the race site. Checked in, racked bike, set up transition, etc. and ran into a few people I knew from Bloomington. The race was at the Indiana Downs horseracing track and the swim was in the big lake right in the middle of the track. We were all worried that it might be kind of manure-y, but it was one of the clearest, cleanest open water swims I've done! Overall, the swim was fine, not super-fast, but at least I didn't have a panic attack like my last tri swim. Ran to transition and put on my cycling shoes, helmet and grabbed the bike to head out onto the road for 14 miles. The beginning was wierd, since we actually had to bike on the sidewalk to get out onto the road, but the rest was clear, flat country roads that I easily maintained 20-22mph on. There were a lot of turns though, which is probably what pulled my bike average down below 20. I passed a lot of people on the bike, and was only passed by two guys. Now you may notice that my transition 2 time is looooooong ~ this is because the rack FELL ON ME! And some guys had to run over and pull it off me 
! I did notice that there was only one other bike racked at that point on my agegroup rack and I knew I had to find that woman out on the run and track her down 
Hi y'all. We're just back from vacation. It was fun, but marred by a trip to the ER the first night (Jojo ) and several days of rain. I only ran once and it was miserable. SO HOT! I'm heading out to zumba now and hoping I can make it through with the void of exercise and excess of junk food in the last week. 
We had stopped a little over 6 miles in so that the dog and I could get some water. I had pulled over on the side of the trail and had put down a bowl and water for Baxter, when a biker came up from behind us. Baxter lunged out at him, barking (on his leash attached to my wrist, no more than a foot or two). The biker was startled and swerved to avoid him and crashed. He flew right over his handlebars. He had a small laceration above his eye from his glasses (which were bent, but otherwise looked ok). He had some road rash in a few spots, but was mostly complaining about his shoulder hurting. I was very fortunate that there were a couple of really nice passersby who stopped to help because I was so frazzled I couldn't think straight. One of them was a paramedic, too. The guy was very nice about the whole thing, but he was a little loopy. Could have been hitting his head, although it seemed like that may have been his personality a little too. The paramedics and policeman were so great and kept telling me that it was just an accident and not my fault, but I still feel horrible.

Anyway, it is paid and over with.

I just haven't recovered from that half marathon. I've been feeling so tired and run down. I've been managing around 10 miles or so a week, but not more. On the plus side, I've been taking a strength training class, and we got a wii fit that I've been using a lot, so, I haven't been losing any ground, fitness wise. Just not running like I wanted to be.
