on the brightside??

This weekend last summer...my first triathalon.














This weekend...recovering from knee arthroscopy.

Hard to put into words how frustrating/depressing it has been not to have been able to run, bike and swim all summer. One up side...it was probably the most relaxing and quiet weekend I have had all summer. Lovely mom had the boys, wonderful mom-in-law had the puppy and I had vicodin... I am actually feeling better now that the surgery is done...hoping to start slowly training soon with the goal of walking the NF Philly Endurance Run and bike at least part of the MS 150 City to Shore. Tricky part is they are back to back weekends in September. Hopefully when I meet the surgeon for post-op we'll figure out a plan for physical therapy and get me where I need to be in time to at least cross the finish lines.

Well, the relaxing weekend is officially over...the boys are back...Owen is eating frozen waffles, trying to figure out how to make them himself and Joey's friend is pounding on the door to see if he can come out and play for the last 30 minutes of daylight. At least Joe is out picking up sushi for dinner and I have one more night before Chloe is jumping all over me...
