VACATION

Yeah - me and the midget are taking off the San Antonio for VACATION!!!! Can't wait to hangout with my sister and niece and 2 nephews my mom and my brother in law. I have decided that I will do NO training only if it's spontaneous. I think I need the break physically and mentally so I am taking it.

December 1st I will be back training in full swing and with my coaches starting in January. Can't wait - but back to the vacation first!

Here is a taste of the next week:

Cheers!

Taking a Moment to Remember

Just want to take a moment to remember those who fought so that we had our FREEDOM!

Thank you to all of you who have made this world a better place for us to live.


Please stop and have a moment of silence on the 11th hour on November 11th.

Cheers!

Halloween Fun

So this was the first Halloween that the little guy actually went up to doors to get “treats”. OMG he had such a blast. There were 11 kids in total that went out together all under the age of 7 so I’m sure you can just imagine the cuteness factor. Unfortunately my camera died just before we left my sister in laws house so I didn’t get any door pics, but here is a pic of the group minus 2.

After all the trick-or-treating we went back to Lorenzo’s sister house for Halloween festivities. I really wish I had my camera. Her decorations were awesome! The kids played and ate candy (I cut Antonio off pretty quick though for personal reason – I didn’t want to be awake all night).

Since Halloween Antonio has been asking everyday if he can put his race car on and go trick-or-treating again with everyone. I think I’ve created a little monster. He does like to put his race car on and pretend he’s Lightening McQueen!

Onto Training Stuff
Last weeks training was kindof sucky. I really didn’t do a whole lot and I am having a tough mental battle with what I am doing and not doing. Part of it is, is that I read about other people training for this and that and who are IM athletes who are used to training so much and I subconsciously compare what I am doing to what they are doing and I don’t think that is too good. I also went and checked what I did at this time last year and I was putting in a bit more time than I have been, but I also didn’t have a season like I did this past year. So I am just really trying to keep doing whatever. This week is a lot of trainer riding because Lorenzo is out of town and it’s just easy to get on the bike in the morning and ride, so I am focusing on that. I may or may not go to the pool this week. The week I go to San Antonio I plan to take off unless I decide to throw a few jogs in there, but nothing major.

First week of December I am getting some testing done and sitting down with my coaches to go over goals for next year and then it will be soon time to start up again in full swing. I am looking forward to my ideas for next year and I really want to give it a good shot. I think at this point I would really just like to start January with a decent training base.

Ah Date Night
So excited – date night on Friday night! Seriously these are to few and far between, but I will DEFINITLY take it when I can get it.

Cheers!
