It seems to me that lately, every entry on my blog starts with "it's been a long time since i have written :)". It is true! It has been pretty busy around here with work, TRAINING, and friends recovering from surgery :). Training has seriously picked up and I do not think I've ever trained this hard or have been so diligent about it. I just do not want to suck @#$ in 5 weeks. My God, 5 weeks and I will complete my first half-ironman, and 6 months after, my first full. It's a huge year for me full of trial and error and I am a little freaked! I am blessed to have people around me that have wisdom and experience that I can go to and rely on. Thank you, my peeps!!!

I do have two sandbaggers in the family: my mom and Steven. My mom is totally ready to do her first triathlon, she has been training like forever, and Steven, who on account of me had to incoroprate a lot of half training, eventhough he is only doing a sprint! There is a group on facebook, dedicated just to him, it is called Spencer should do Gulfcoast!

A couple of weeks ago, my team Lunachix and I went to Cali and did some training and bonding. Let me just say, the training made the gaps look like rollers!
