I blame my children for my current lack of athleticism. I'm planning for you to teach Portia piano in the future (What do you think? First grade a good time to start?). Good luck with the training!Jeanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578083950272411338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14258260.post-23027660501300321672011-06-01T07:14:50.423-06:002011-06-01T07:14:50.423-06:00Hey Erin, I think it's exciting for you guys t...Hey Erin, I think it's exciting for you guys to be doing a tri! My husband does them and loves them! Our oldest son participated in his first tri last year. It was so rewarding to see him have that experience.I stick to running myself. Exercising with the little ones is SO HARD. I have a friend who takes her kids to the church parking lot. She keeps her youngest in the stroller and the other two get to ride bikes, big wheels. So, she runs for time instead of distance. So if she runs a 10 minute mile and wants to run a 3 mile run she will run for 30 minutes. You could also do weights (try some yoga poses [you can find them online] if you don't have weights at home)and calisthenics in your backyard. Or trade with a friend could help too. Keep it up and one day your kiddos will be doing it with you. yesterday my other son went running with me and told me he wants to do a tri too! it's a whole family experience. =) My youngest, my only girl, turned 5 yesterday and the only reason this makes me the tiniest bit happy is that she will go to school and I can use that time to exercise at the gym. Otherwise, my heart aches that she will be gone.<br /><br />I'm on team "Mommy will win." Sorry Mike. =)Tiercyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823877555655641372noreply@blogger.com
