The answer to the first question - I'm the mother of an almost three year old with an above average sized head (AKA The Noggin) and the wife of a wonderful man (AKA The Russian). I used to be a (not too fast, not too slow) runner, a (decent) climber, a (baby) triathlete, a voracious devourer of the written word, and so much more. I want to begin to recapture that person while continuing to be a good mother, a good wife and staying (mostly) sane.
One part of the process for me is to get back to running and (hopefully) to get back to where I was in terms of speed and distance. I'm part way there, having completed the Marine Corps Marathon with my sister last October. The speed piece of it I am still working (hard) on. The other part is to challenge myself by doing some triathlons, which I had only begun to appreciate before I got pregnant. The other pieces of me are going to have to wait until these first two fall into place.
This blog is really about my process and I hope it will help:
- keep me accountable
- get me fit(ter)
- keep me motivated
- get me connected with others who are in the same boat (or nearby boats, or boats passing in the night... )
