When I say "perfect" ... I mean perfect for me. I'm a full time working mom of two boys (3 and 4 years old), a wife, and middle of the pack age grouper with aspirations to be the fastest and fittest that I can be. I finished IM Arizona 2010 in 14 hours and I'm currently training for IM Mont-Tremblant Aug 2017.

| "mama, are you exercising?" yes, my loves :-) |
Training is completely different to what it was in 2010 when I was single and carefree. As a mama, I have to reserve enough patience to be able to take care of life at home! My hubby has been super helpful and I'm sure he'll be glad when this is over... but then again I'll probably just pick some other crazy goal when this race is over :-)
Below are some ideas for the ideal schedule. My thoughts on this constantly change and many workouts need to be moved around depending on work, kids, and weather. And frankly - sometimes I just get really sore or tired and need to make changes!
