Long time...

Sorry I've been MIA.  Having a baby will do that to you.  I was able to get right back into my coaching after having my baby but getting back into my own training has been a different story.  It's definitely given me a different perspective with my own training.  Priorities shift when having a baby.  I involve her in my runs and incorporate her in my strength workouts a lot of the time.  I'll hold her and do squats or heel raises.  Do planks or push ups over her and make silly faces.  She loves it!  She joins me on runs and loves the outdoors.  Bike and gym time have been hard to come by, harder to get a babysitter than I thought it would be.  I thought I'd be able to do a race beginning of the season but that isn't going to work out like I had hoped.  I'm hoping to do a race mid to late season.  We want to set a good example for our daughter and show her how fun it is to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

On the coaching front my athletes are doing fantastic!!  Lauri had a very successful first race of the season making it 2nd out of the water, 4th on the bike, and having a great time on the run.  Robert posted a PR at the last 5k he did.  Way to go guys great way to start the season!!  Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season goes.
