On February 25th, I was super excited about the upcoming racing season and being on Allied Milk, my first ever bike team. I was on track to being in pretty decent biking shape, and all set to sign up for the Kirkwood race at the end of March. On February 26th, I broke my foot playing basketball and was bummed about not being able to ride my bike or run for about 6-8 weeks. On February 27th, Jeremiah and I found out that we're going to have a baby in November! My fitness and racing plans for spring and summer all changed within a matter of 48 hours. As with any disappointments or unmet expectations, it's necessary to look for the positive side, because it's easy to get caught up in self-wallowing despair.
So, instead of training alongside of Jeremiah, I now can become part of his (and the rest of the team's) fan club...the guys will probably need it for the first year:) I will be better able to encourage and support our team! My broken foot allowed me to realize that I take things like 'walking' for granted and how much I miss riding even my single speed to work. And parenthood? Wow, scary but totally exciting at the same time! So, bring on the racing season, I'm ready to cheer!
