I have four kids and one husband.  For even more thrills and chills visit my day-to-day blog here.  I'd recommend reading with your socks off.

Just catching up on the blog.  I do a lot of reading and good-brain-vibe support to other FRBers when I'm nursing the baby, but finding time to type is difficult.  I'm still trying to figure out how to balance my time with this new baby.

My running is coming along.  My achilles is always nagging.  I don't want to completely kill it but I can't figure out how to fix it and running feels like a life necessity right now so stopping isn't an option.  And 9 months of resting didn't seem to make healing happen anyway.  So I just send happy thoughts down my achilles' way and hope that it doesn't all end in daily biking (although I suppose there could be worse fates).

I'm getting ready to go over 30 miles per week here soon and adding a speed day or two.  I don't think I felt back to normal running-wise until 6 months post-baby last time so I think continuing to slowly accelerate my training will be fine.  Sept. 30 I'll do a sprint triathalon (my first since I was 8 or so) and then Oct. 15 will be a 30k.  This will be my first non-Utah which means non-aided distance course ever.  I'm kinda excited for that.

Running so keeps me sane.  Glory Hallelujah.
