Road Trip!!

To the land of cheese and beer!! mmm 2 of my favorite things!! :) See Jeannie and I are heading to Wisconsin in July for the Trek Womans Triathlon with Michelle!

We are so excited!! I can't wait to meet Michelle - who is such an inspiration...she has almost lost 100 pounds!

And Jeannie and I will have a blast on the drive. We are leaving Baltimore EARLY on Friday morning to get to Wisconsin (13 hours) by dinner time - so we can hang out Friday night and Saturday go and get our race packets etc. Then we have the tri on Sunday and we will leave EARLY Monday morning to come home!

It will be a whirlwind of a weekend but it will be so much fun! We'd fly - but since we need our bikes for the tri - we have to drive.

So that is my exciting news! :)

Oh and Jimmy and I have found 2 other races we are agoing to do. We are going to do a local duathlon - you run a 5k - bike 16.5 miles - then run another 5k. It is right up Jimmy's alley, because he wanted to try a triathlon this year, but he isn't a strong swimmer, so this will give him a leg up for doing his first tri, if he likes it that is :) and it is only 15 miles from home!!

We are also going to do a Muddy Buddy race!! I am so pumped about this one! It is a race where one person starts on a mountain bike and the other person starts out running. You meet up at the first obstacle and do it together, then the person who ran grabs the bike and the person who biked goes off running! At the end your get to run through a mud pit together!! I can't wait, it is going to be so much fun!

Alright - the kiddos should be getting up any moment and I have a few more things to get done. I will be back tonight with my menu and hopefully my Nike+ if my iPod decides to work the entire run. I am still heading to the Apple store on Friday to get this figured out once and for all!!

Until tonight...
