Today was the Winter Season
Team in Training kickoff meeting. The president talked about what Team in Training is and the programs they support. We were introduced to people fighting cancer and heard the details of one Honoree's struggle. We met the staff, coaches, mentors who would be supporting our training and of course supporting our efforts to fund raise. My goal was to do a triathlon and raise money for a cause, but watching the honorees, many with their kids made me realize I was part of something really important.
Cookie was there right with me. She can't believe I'm getting her to do this, but its going to be so much fun doing this together. We both set goals for ourselves, finish, lose weight, meet new people, and laugh a lot. I think its going to be a real struggle because....well, we don't really like to run, bike, or swim ;-)
While I feel really intimidated I think I'm ready. I set this goal 3 years ago. I got a trainer and then got pregnant. Cameron is awesome. After she turned one, my friend Joanie convinced me to run a half-marathon, I figured that would kick off my training again, but I got pregnant (I did the race but unknowingly I did it at 10 weeks). Now Riley is 5 months, and its just time. I don't really have any excuses. My coach seems great, my team is motivated, and Dr Medina made sure I was done with the kids. Google just gave me 12 weeks with a nutritionist and a fitness evaluation so the timing is perfect. All I have to do is the work.
