This and that

First of all GOOD LUCK to Naira and Chuck who are running the Myrtle Beach Marathon this morning!! Luckily on Wednesday Naira realized it was on Saturday, NOT Sunday, so they were scrambling to get ready to hit the race start at 6:30 this morning. Wouldn't that suck to show up a day late for a race . . . .

As for me, I'm doing well with training. Definitely in a good routine now and shaking it up as much as I can. I've become an Oxygen girl (as in Oxygen Fitness magazine). I can't wait for the Glutes special edition available in April!! Of course, I think Bill likes looking through the mag as much as I do . . . . maybe for a different reason though ;-)

The last month has been a whirl of soccer and basketball. The boys are doing well and having fun. I am either: a) a good mom or b) insane since I bought Liam a pair of Thierry Henry soccer shoes for outdoor season. Henry is a striker for Barcelona and one of my fav players. Anyway, his new shoes are red with white accents -- and our team colors are red and white. So, it was practically a done deal - except they cost $130 (ok, $108 with my goal club membership). Well, I did it and they arrived yesterday. Worth it? Absolutely! Liam (my undemonstrative guy) gave me not one, but two kisses, a hug, AND an "I love you Mom". . . .

Conor is coming along with both basketball and soccer. It's time to sign him up for baseball (cringe!) . . . not my favorite sport (ok, next to golf my least favorite sport). Oh well, gotta let him play!

I swear I'm going to make it to the next Tri Swimming class. I've been blowing them off to get things done at home. It was a good idea when I was part time at work and had time to get things done, but losing 4-5 hours on a Sunday morning is hard to face now. Bill is doing great with it though. That was the main goal. I know he thinks he will be able to kick my ass in the swim, but seriously!!

OK, time to get my workouts going. Another busy day of sports -- Conor has basketball and soccer games, Liam has a soccer game and we're going to watch the Mentor Boys basketball game tonight -- they are exciting to watch!! Can't wait!
