January 10, 2005

Trying to get the new website for this blog done this week. I'm having trouble with some CSS and need Paul's input.

Like Amy, I'm thinking ahead for 2005's training for the 2006 race. Even though the actual race is always the icing on the cake and I'm more in it for the motivation to keep exercising throughout the year... I want icing dammit! It will be my last chance for it for a little while since I'm planning on trying for #2 after Julia turns two.

We went out to Disney to check out race weekend activities on Sat. and it was fun to think about only my interests instead of family oligations like we had been over the holidays. We poked around, wished people good luck, ate at Rainforest Cafe and then let Julia horse around in the water fountains with some other kids. She seemed to enjoy that.

We had playgroup today and she did well -- very into following other kids around. She's not at all worried that they are bigger than she is. Paul got to meet some other dads so that was good for him and I got to get to know the host mom a bit better.

Came home to read the race results and found out that the men's marathon was taken by the same guy in 2003 that I saw while cheering NF people in with Patty. The women's was taken in 2:56 by a woaman who grew up in Orlando but moved away.

Part of me was thinking... hrm... a sub 3 hour marathon... Can I do that? But that's a dream for another year. Waaay into the future and perhaps only a dream. I'm content with walking a half around 3:30. Brisk, but not brutal. And I'll settle for sub 4.

I've got enough distractions with Julia and health goals (manage Paul's hypertension, my PCOS/IR) to set overly ambitious fitness goals. Apart from fitness/health goals this year, there's another -- to meet and greet a bit more and try to make new friends with kids. We have a church date next weekend with another couple and their son that we've met once before so we'll see how that flies.

Busy, busy. With lots to think about.
