A Race Adventure Begins

So what was your big adventure today? Even a trip to the grocery store can be an adventure especially when Curls's alicorn has to use her horn magic to put every single item in the cart. And climbing Mt. Everlaundry... well I'll never reach the top. But what got my heart racing today was filling out a form. It wasn't even a really important form but a race entry form. I don't even know why I always get to nervous. I decided on Saturday after a bike ride that I wanted to race this weekend. Sure it's a little last minute but I'm not totally unprepared. I know I won't be breaking any speed records but that isn't the point anyway. A coach once called it "Writing a check that your butt has to cash". I guess it's making that commitment to get up in the middle of the night to drive to a venue to just put it all out there. The open water swims always scare the Hell out of me. I'm just never comfortable being hit and kicked and churned around in water with no visibility. The riding is the easy part eventhough it's never easy and let's face it, my run is just embarrassing. But come sun up on Sunday morning, I will plunge myself in the too-cold-for-me water for the thrill of the race, for the adrenaline high as I wait for the gun, for the endorphin rush that hits on the bike, for the delirium I get on the run, for the finish line, for the exhaustion after, for the soreness the next day, and the next, to know that I put it all out there and lived to tell about it, to just be a rocking' Adventuremom!

Just A Mom

I've been meaning to start this blog for ages. (thanks little bro for always being an inspiration). Today is as good as tomorrow so here I am. Yep, I'm a mom, (obviously)of The Princess and Curls. And what else can I say other than it's ALL an adventure!
