Last night I decided I wanted to do something to celebrate my son's birthday next year (besides throwing him a party, of course), so I decided to run a triathlon. Natural childbirth was so amazing, and made me feel so empowered, and I want to do something else that will challenge me to commemorate that. I don't want to do a marathon, because I'm not that great of a runner. At least with the triathlons I'm looking at, I would only need to run a 5k, and I can probably handle that (with a little training). I have a long way to go until August, which is when I'm hoping to participate in a triathlon. My training plan is pretty straightforward: finish the Lindsay Brin postnatal boot camp 12-week get your body back program, which will finish up right before Christmas. Then when I go back to work in January (and have access to a gym during the day while my son is in daycare), I plan to alternate between running, swimming, and biking, in addition to lifting weights a few days a week. It should be an adventure to do that all while breastfeeding... I can't imagine how much I will have to eat! But it will be another thing for me to feel like I've accomplished. Here's the link to the triathlon I'm thinking of:

Almost a year away and I'm already excited!
