Congratulations on an amazing 2011! That 19 minute 5K still blows my mind. :-) You have an exciting year ahead, too! My vote is to tackle NYC, but it's way easier to encourage someone else to run a marathon than it is to slog through GA summer long runs. I'm sure whatever adventures 2012 hold for you will be grand.

what an amazing year for you! i'm so impressed with your racing - esp with the little one.

i'm sure you will achieve some (if not all) of your 2012 goals. good luck and happy new year!

Sounds like we're in the same boat Laura. I needed intervention to have Emily too. Once we got a treatment plan started with an RE things happened quickly though. I may be optimistic (ok, naive), but hope the same protocol will work for us again when we're ready.

I can relate to so many of your thoughts! I've wondered about triathalons, too, but don't know that the bike is worth the investment... and we're also wondering at what point we should aim for baby #2... took awhile for #1, so I'm not convinced it will happy when we want it to. Makes race-planning a bit challenging! I look forward to seeing what 2012 will bring for you!

Interesting observation I've made about many airline families....there tends to be about a 4-5 year gap between the first and second child. That also tends to be the timeframe for upgrading or transitioning to a mainline for most pilots. Then if they have a third, it's usually pretty immediate, like within a year or two.

This whole industry slow down if really putting a kink in our timeline!

I 100% know I want another one, but the thought of handling two scares the hell out of me. People always say you find a way to make it work once you're in the situation though. It really helps seeing how other women do it.

Thanks Nicole :)

Isn't not that we don't have our struggles as well, but we were very fortunate to have our health and means to take advantage of some great opportunities this past year. It was truly a blessing that I'm tremendously greatful for!

Can't wait to see what you end up doing! NYC would be pretty cool. A baby would be exciting too! I can tell you adding a second baby makes it more challenging to keep up with running, but you're in such great shape that I'm sure you'd run right through your pregnancy and find a way to keep up with it all.

I hope the New Year is nothing short of fantastic for you & your lovely family. I especially hope some good things happen for the Mr.'s career-these guys deserve to get some upgrades.

I can relate to figuring out how to prioritize everything in your life. You know that having a family is #1 for me right now, but I don't know what I'd do in your position, since you already have a little one. I too want to do a tri at some point, and have a road bike, so that's not an issue for me. The swimming is the part that most intimidates me!

I vote for NYC. ;) So I can live vicariously through you. I love tris (it's a lot easier on the body than a full marathon) but I found working in 3 sports into my training was a bigger challenge with my busy schedule.
