Tech issues-grrr.......

Hello followers-hope all is well! Been busy over the last couple of days as my baby girl had her 4th Birthday party and insanity overtook me as I opted to have the party at home with the kids decorating jewelry boxes and treasure chests and cupcakes. I am the furthest thing from Martha Stewart as they come-so lets just say there were a few "technical" issues with the glue gun. Fortunately no one got burned! Talk about feeling exhausted, but at the end of the day, I think my girl had a great time judging by her shining smile!

So last evening I was trying to get my gear ready for the half marathon today, and went to listen to my ipod. Well wouldn't you know every freaking song was distorted and muffled. I tried calling support-but because this was 9pm last night no one was available. I called my voice of reason-she was not home-finally I called a friend who has ipod issues in the past, and she guided me through the process of restoring it. Unfortunately that did not work, and my friend was kind enough to lend me her ipod. So there I am at 930 pm driving over to her house in my pajamas. I cursed my ipod the whole way and was shaking it as I was getting prepared to throw it out the window. Well I can't explain it,but perhaps the electronic device sensed my fury and decided to all of a sudden start working. Grrrr........Wasted evening as I was really looking forward to unwind and read some trash.

So this morning was an early start-but I am used to this, and prefer the cooler morning temps-as long as I don't have to go in water. The run went well but since I was in the second wave start, I spent almost the whole race dodging people-very annoying. Perspective on these things sure changes. Throughout the race,I kept thinking about how the 1/2 marathon is only one component to the half Ironman and that is what gave me motivation to run. Then I think, that I am in big trouble as I question whether I can put all 3 sports together. I guess I will get a better feeling next weekend when I do the longer distance Olympic triathlon. Yikes nervous already!
