Ugh! I'm sick today. Some kind of stomach bug. Chris just took the boys to the movie store so I have a few minutes alone. I think it's a bug because Carter has had the big D for a few days now and I think I'm catching it from him. (As opposed to a gluten incident, which I haven't had anything in the last 2 days that would have gluten in it anyway.)
My stomach cramps and aches and I feel so weak. No yet, but I feel nauseaus (did I spell that right? it doesn't look right.)
Okay, I think I'm done complaining.
No church today. And I really wanted to go as we haven't been in a couple of weeks.

I went swimming yesterday with my friend who is also training for the triathlon. She is teaching me the breast stroke which I've never done. I've only ever done the crawl stroke and I've done that improperly. But this was my second practice since she has shown me how to do it. I have to swim this way because of the bicep tendonitis. My doctor said I could swim if I didn't use an overhead stroke and if my arm hurt, then I need to stop.
Well, my arm is killing me today. I had already been thinking about not doing the swim portion. I did the bike leg last year. My run is improving. So if I could do the bike and run part, I think that would be a great challenge and goal. Adding in the swimming with I stroke I'm not good at (I couldn't even get all the way down the pool before sinking!) I just don't think all 3 events are realistic this year. Now with my arm hurting so badly I think I have my answer. I don't want to kill myself to do this. I love having the goal and the challenge. And doing it gradually, adding another event per year may be a good plan for me.
So I'm just going to concentrate on the 2 events for this year and let my arm rest. The problem with that is I have to find someone willing to do the swim leg for me in the tri. That is going to be the challenge. I don't know alot of swimmers. And people who are into this usually want to do more than one event. I'm going to just ask around and see what I come up with.
Okay, I'm going to rest a few minutes before the boys come back. It's so nice to have a quiet house.
