This is my first time writing...as a mom on maternity leave I probably have too much time on my hands so I've started following some blogs of ladies in the same circumstance as me and I find them motivating...there are other women out there who love training for tri but only have certain times in the day when it now fits in. I use to be able to fit my training in whenever I wanted...it was so easy! With an understanding boyfriend (now husband) my only obligation was my regular job, and cleaning the bathroom once a week, so I could swim, bike and run as much as I wanted (as a side note there has never been that much swimming because it's not that much fun)!

Things have definitely changed but for the better...we now have a beautiful baby boy who is the light of my life!! He smiles, and giggles, and tells me the most hilarious stories! But I still like to get my training in...well I still have to because I signed up to Ironman Canada for a 2nd time. At the time, as a childless person I had no idea how things would change...I thought it would be easy to train whenever I wanted. Boy was I wrong...thank goodness I still have an understanding husband who helps me fit things in, and understanding parents who love to babysit because fitting training in is tough.

So through this blog I will share with you my ups and downs being a mom while I train for IMC!!
