So proud

My babes just finished his 4th Ironman today. He did it in about 10hrs30min, his fastest yet! I am so proud of him! Unfortunately I don't think it will qualify him for Kona but still, he's an ironman!

It's that time again...IRONMAN time! Today was spent travelling to Phoenix (upgrade - woot! but spent too much time on the computer this morning and forgot my IPod and reading material - boo!) and hanging out with Joe's sibs, aunt and grandparents. I am not uploading any pics yet because I forgot to pack the battery charger on my camera and don't want to risk losing juice tomorrow.

Looks like tonight is going to be an early night and I am going to be dreaming fast thoughts for the hubs...maybe a trip to Kona next year is in our future? Fingers crossed!

It's almost that time

Ironman time! Joe is already in Madison and I will be joining him on Sat. All his hard work over the past 6 months will be revealed on Sunday.

Here is photos of my studly husband and sister. Joe running the last leg of his ironman.








Ting is doing a 150 mile 7 day race across the Atacama desert, in Chili. She just completed the 3rd leg. I've seen some beautiful pictures of the desert, but it looks like a tough race. She is one of the competitors who have a blog (!!) so I've been keeping up with her that way. She is awesome!

Call me Ironwife!

Looks like blogger is having trouble with photo uploads, so I'll post them later. Joe did awesome in Lake Placid. He finished the swim in an amazing time of just over 1 hour. The bike took a little over 6 and the run about 4.5. So his overall time was about 11:42. He is so awesome and I am so proud of him for accomplishing this. Whew! Training time over!

Of course the trip home was from hell. We didn't leave Albany until 5. Our flight from Newark was supposed to leave at 8:30 but we didn't leave until 10:40 because our plane was delayed in from Florida. That sucked! I finished A Million Little Pieces, the controversial "memoir" during the delay and on the plane flight home. A pretty good book, even if most of it was a heavily embellished truch. I was entertained and even a little touched. Too bad though - it's hard to distinguish what really happened from the embellishments so you end you believing most of it is embellished.

Well, gotta get geared for work today - we are going to be crazy busy this week. Wish me luck!

Ironman here we come!

I dropped Joe at the airport bright and early this morning - his flight left at 6:58 am. I can't believe the BIG DAY is almost here! All his training for the past 7 months boil down to one day, this Sunday. I am so proud of him!

I even made it to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio. I don't know why I'm so unmotivated.

Other random thought for the day: my left wrist starting hurting some time yesterday. It still aches and I cannot put very much pressure on it (i.e. doing a push up would be very uncomfortable). I hope I just slept on it funny and it will get better on its own in the next few days.

2 more days and I'm off to Lake Placid as well. I am looking forward to being away from the city and in cooler weather.
