Tomorrow is race day. Many weeks ago, I joined a fledging group of fellow momstowners in the idea that we would train and complete a mini-triatholon. The perfect motivator I thought...get in shape, get to know some more moms in the process, all with a deadline so I couldn't weasel out of it! Well, the get in shape part is what it is, I had the liberating experience of finally getting rid of the shorts and pants in my closet that are one size too small, I have finally admitted that those days are gone and not coming back:). And for getting to know my fellow racers? We had many well intentioned attempts at getting together to train, but with crazy schedules and unpredictable little people, I trained solo. But I knew they were there, we gave each other updates on progress, ideas for training and if that wasn't motivation enough, now my kids and husband are coming, and they were practicing their cheering today. So, tomorrow is the big day. I'm meeting my peeps somewhere in the transition area, and while I don't know if we'll cross the finish line together, we're most definitely having a beer afterwards together. Good luck girls!! Perhaps more of you will join us next year, I feel a tradition coming on....
