But nope! I love blogging and keeping up with my friends. I must persevere!
What is on tap for 2014?
1. I am going to continue to race for Wattie Ink. I have a huge appreciation for Sean Watkins and Heather Jackson for continuing to support me while pregnant/post baby, and the team has become like family to me. I have daily interaction with a bunch of good friends on the team, and they have become an awesome support group for me. So, 2014- Wattie Ink. #OG #GFY
2. I am working with Hillary Biscay and TeamHPB for 2014. Well, I have actually been with her since Isla was born. It has been in the works for quite a while, and we were waiting for the right time to start. This deserves its own blog post, but suffice to say it was just the change I needed. Hillary has been with me every step of this new mom/triathlete journey. It is not always easy and there are more missed workouts than I care to report, but we are pushing on the best we can.
3. Race schedule (tentative) is up! Yes, there is an ironman in there. The truth is that I just love the distance. I could care less about the local sprints and the 70.3s. Yes, it will be very hard to train with a baby. Yes, I will not be riding/running/swimming the way I used to when all I had to do was go to work, train, and flirt with Dave. But, that is no reason for me to not choose the races I want to race. It will always be harder from here on out. Dave and I plan on having more kiddos, so there is no "good year" as we see it. I also know what it is like to have your sport taken from you suddenly with injury, as soccer was taken from me so abruptly. So while I think it is fine to put things off for a few years, I also know that sometimes things don't come back around. I am just going to keep on living and racing while life lets me.
4. I have some mom and work goals as well, of course! I am also adding some spirituality and social goals in there as well this year because those areas have shriveled a bit and need to be nurtured.
My little sweet potato is 6 months old today! I am loving every day with her and still eagerly awaiting sleep!

I think you will be really pleasantly surprised with how well you are able to race. Being totally efficient with every minute of your time has it's upsides!
