Mr. P turned 31 earlier this week, and guess what he wished for... yeah an entry into the 2013 Coeur d'Alene Ironman. And not only was it a wish when he blew out the candles on his cake (okay, there was no cake and no candles), he actually signed up for it. So it looks like we're spending next summer's vacation in ID. I'm so excited for him and to spend some time in CDA. I think it might be one of my most favorite places. Plus, it's close enough to "home" that our parents will all come.
While I am so excited for him, part of me wishes I could pull it together and do it too. Despite the fact that it's going to be fairly expensive ($600 entry fee), I just don't think I could do it, and I don't think I have the discipline to train properly for it. We did the LA marathon in 2008, and while it was awesome training with Team in Training, it was so hard on my body. I just don't know how I could swim 2 miles and bike over a hundred and then run a damn marathon. But still... oh well, maybe I can train for some other shorter races in the meantime. And maybe being the best training partner EVER will suffice.
