1st Trimester

Living through the first Trimester with Bambi has been an entertaining experience.  They need to add a new chapter to every pregnancy book and title it “Walking Disaster”.  Over the last two weeks she has been a klutz and a danger to herself.  She has knocked her head on the pantry door, tripped over the gas hose to fill up her car, tripped over the AC line on the backside of our house, drove off with the back hatch open and never noticed until someone flagged her down, left a water facet running unknowingly, and I’m sure missing something else.  I’m not sure how many more pregnancies she can go through at this rate so early (lol).  Hopefully she gets thru this one with no injuries.  I keep on telling her I’m going to wrap her in bubble wrap - it’s the safest alternative I’ve come up with so far.  The only other side effects I’ve seen so far in the pregnancy that she is very sleepy, frequent bathroom visits, and needs to snack every couple of hours.
No, this isn't Bambi.
Houston Fit Adventure Racing (HFAR)'s Spring Season 2011 got kicked off last night and had a good showing for the first practice.  I think it sucks we can’t practice at Memorial Park but I also understand the dilemma from HFAR’s prospective.  Cleveland Park is a disaster for parking, but it seemed to work out okay yesterday.  I’m assisting Kelley Simmons - The Guy, Vet Head Running Coach this season and I'm his assistant coach.  I’ve never seen anyone do so much preparation for their practices as Kelley puts into his.  He is very knowledgeable and I’ve learned a great deal from him when it comes to training.  After practice everybody went to El Rey Mexican Food joint on Washington and Shephard.  I always like interacting with the new members to see the bewilderment in their eyes because they really don’t know what to expect.  Adventure Racing is a great team sport and you can learn a lot about your personal limits.
