Let the training commence!

After going to bed thinking that my birthday was just going to be another mediocre day (I have a lot of homework to do today), I woke up this morning and to my surprise the house was decorated with streamers and balloons, with a bike sitting right in the middle of the living room with balloons attached to the handle! My dear sweet husband made me feel so special with the decorations! And, the present that I really wanted... a bike! I have done a little research, and there isn't really any triathlons in New Mexico, but there is a lot of bike races, and running races... So, I think I will train for one of those. That way I can use my AWESOME bike, and train for something. Another goal to have, which is exactly what I need. It will help me reach my weightloss goals. We just need to find a thing to put the baby in while I ride, as well as a helmut, both extremely important... I am so excited! Now, you might hear in a few hours, or days, although it iwll probably be hours, about possible races I can do. Love it! My friend Amanda asked if I wanted to do a bike race in Phoenix the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Now, I will be able to because we will live close to Arizona! Yay! I am so excited, can you tell?
