I just added my first blog on my new website – www.mymommyrun.com.

I am going to use this blog to record my adventures in triathlon/running training as a full time working mom.

I woke up at 5:30 AM this morning to go on a 4 mile run.  I have to tell you I love running in the morning now.  I love my time in the morning when it’s still dark and the kids are sleeping (no mommy guilt, no thinking “I should be with my kids right now”).  I love looking at the stars and trying to find constellations.  It is just so peaceful.  And I love feeling good the rest of the day because running just does that to me…it just makes me feel good.

Of course, I couldn’t have these times, if it wasn’t for my wonderful husband, who is there for the kids, just in case!  Love  you.

I had this great idea. I would buy a Wii Fit and work out while the kids are playing in the front room.
As you can see from the picture, this did not work out…..

I have officially quit Diet Coke. I know how bad they are for me and I know I have to quit. I really, really want one right now…I don’t believe it’s the caffeine that I am addicted to. I believe that it’s the chemicals in the diet coke that I am addicted to. But anyway… maybe I am wrong and a coffee will help me   Are there support groups for former Diet Coke drinkers…..?

I just got diagnosed with Gout today.   Who the heck would ever think that I would have Gout? I thought gout was some 19th century vitamin deficiency disease. But no, I have Gout..in my toe…and it HURTS.

I noticed this bump in my toe about a week ago. I thought it was strange but it didn’t hurt and I was still able to run…so I didn’t really worry about it. Then on Sunday night, I woke up in pain. My toe was killing me. And it has just gotten worse since Sunday. Now it is inflamed and it is starting to hurt worse and worse. And the worse part about all this….I can’t run. I sure hope this goes away soon.
