the space in between

alright so i realize its been a while.  posts used to be weekly maybe biweekly but never over a month in between.  for those following, all two of you,  i apologize for the delay.  my excuse?  life.

on august 6, my family welcomed a new baby girl, Margaret Kathleen Gomez - "Maggie" into the world. my sister, brave and strong battled a very unexpected and very scary week post little maggie.  never a dull moment in our family and baby and mommy are now at home recovering. 

my nephew, Dangiso, continues to inspire, entertain and amaze us with his athletic abilities.  we are already interviewing potential college teams for ping pong, tennis, soccer, swimming, and baseball and its only a matter of time before he beats me out of being the only ironman in the family. 


i'm trying my best in between to keep up with training and hitting the gym.  my bike seems to be taking the biggest hit this time around, interestingly enough.  for imsg i thought of every excuse to skip the swim and  for cozumel its the bike.  cross training is covered thanks to p90x yoga and my friend heather who introduced to the world of tabata.  just the word itself sounds painful and i can assure you it is. 

the next few months are sure to fly by as quick as the last and before i know it, i'll be sitting seaside with the other gnomies in Cozumel, Mexico with ironman numero dos under my belt.  (God willing) 

i'm looking forward to the month of november as its a full one.   NYC marathon (11/6) , Big Sur half (11/20) and Ironman Cozumel (11/28) .......like i said before.....never a dull moment.
