A self-imposed

Period of rest. Yup, that's right. I'm sitting here with my feet up and I'm kicked back on my bed. "Chillin' like a Villain" as my friend Shannon might say! Tomorrow is my first race day in several months. Who am I kidding, I think we're going on 18 of them. I haven't done a Tri since my mightly Half Ironman last May. And then, the call:

"Hi Terri, it's Molly"
"Hey Molly, what's up?"
"Well, since I had my SECOND KID FOUR MONTHS AGO (keep reading, you'll see why this is in all caps...) I just haven't felt like myself. I've decided I should do a Triathlon"

Well, who am I to let a friend suffer alone. NO, I will step up to the plate and join you friend.

Which brings me to today. I'm a firm believer that one should rest, hydrate, and just chill the day before a race. If for no other reason than it gives me a great excuse to not fold that load of laundry or clean the bathroom today!

So, I'm gearing up....my bag is packed, the bike is on the car, the water bottles are in the fridge. There is something just so "Type A" about Triathlons.....and I LOVE it!

Happy Saturday to all. I will post some projects I'm working on next week.
