Whitney, are you okay? We haven't heard from you in months.

 Hi Blog World!  I have missed you terribly.  The past few months have been jammed packed with work and regular non-triathlon and non-running things. Because of my non-triathlon life, I was not able to race Rumpus in Bumpass, and I have pulled my registration from Musselman 70.3. #BeingAnAdultStinksSometimes! But instead of going into the details, I will just say that I am very happy to be training again. What's on the horizon you ask? Well in terms of running, I am starting my MCM training this week. This will be the 3rd time I will be racing this marathon, and I am very excited about it.  What about triathlon? I am only currently signed up for the run portion of the Luray Olympic; however, I am thinking about doing Waterman's Half in October. 

Here is just a little taste of what has been going on since I last posted.

Random Thought Tuesday

• Soft boiled eggs are becoming my new favorite breakfast.  Oatmeal will always have a special place in my heart; however, soft boiled eggs are moving in on the #1 spot.
• I am incredibly excited about my snowboarding trip in February!  I cannot wait to learn how to snowboard and spend some QT with Lauren, Phil and Brizzy.
• I have been having dreams about my new TT bike.  Do I have a problem? Please tell me other triathletes dream about getting a new bike. If not- PLEASE LIE TO ME and say you do. :)
• I slept through swim practice this morning because I stayed up late watching LOST and drinking wine.  I am clearly not feeling guilty about adjusting my training and switching to the 1/2 anymore! #ILoveOffSeason!
• Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee makes my heart happy.  It made my 75 minute drive into work much more bearable!  Rain + DC Traffic = 75 mins to go 8 miles
• I haven't eaten a cupcake in a REALLY long time.  My friends Meghan and Dani would be appalled. In fact, they will probably de-friend me as soon as they read this.

Happy Tuesday!!!
