My kids are 19 and 14 now. All we do is Friday night football anymore but I'm glad I was at all the other events.Lance Notstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329233052728447291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-11846320205369983152007-04-18T10:56:00.000-05:002007-04-18T10:56:00.000-05:00You sound like wonder woman.

It has to be love that motivates you to care for your family even if you have to set aside your wants. God bless you and your family.Papa Louiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063282125373869332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-85106150687854132282007-04-18T07:25:00.000-05:002007-04-18T07:25:00.000-05:00Lana, I think everything that you accomplish in a ...Lana, I think everything that you accomplish in a week is absolutely amazing. Taking a break from a few centuries to spend time with family and re-prioritze isn't a big deal.

It is an important stage of triathlon for us to grow and improve as athletes and people.<BR/><BR/>Congrats Papa Louie! Those conditions were sick. And speaking of sick, hopefully he doesn't come down with anything from being out there.TRI Vortexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091250559332644862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-46522246312687557822007-04-17T20:28:00.000-05:002007-04-17T20:28:00.000-05:00I’m sure you’re a great mother and wife and you’re...I’m sure you’re a great mother and wife and you’re quickly discovering why most of our population is in such horrible shape; they just don't think they have the time to do anything except shuttle kids around. As you’re kids get older, the time you need to dedicate to their needs increases dramatically. However, you’ll figure out how to get in your work-outs around their various demands. You won’t always be able to get in the quality work-outs you want, but you’ll stay fit. For example, the demands of my job have increased recently with early morning meetings across town. This has precluded running my long runs before work, so I switched to running them during my daughter’s 2 hour soccer practices. I can’t get in the hill work I’d like, but I’m still getting in the mileage.<BR/><BR/>You’re a smart women, you’ll adapt just fine.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-31846270066431732222007-04-17T19:22:00.000-05:002007-04-17T19:22:00.000-05:00Kid stuff completely outweighs race stuff!Kid stuff completely outweighs race stuff!Bridgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157313640712531476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-58135344402864643762007-04-17T14:21:00.000-05:002007-04-17T14:21:00.000-05:00Don't feel bad.

It will probably be even more fun then because your kids can race with you. <BR/><BR/>Like you, I've had to compromise but I look forward to the day when I can race with my son.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602182138078986641noreply@blogger.com
