Month 4 of Motherhood, Month 3 of Training

Hi track fans!!!
I hope that you were able to enjoy your Thanksgiving and like me are looking forward to the arrival of Christmas. Here in Cincinnati we have cold weather that will be approaching soon and man I hope that it doesn't snow. So far thing are coming around in training, I am not where I was a year ago but I have made GREAT progession. I knew that it would be hard coming back after having a baby but man I didn't think my body would have changed this way. My back hurts so bad and I forgot what it was like to feel lactic acid ha ha. So far I am back into my Olympic Lifts, and sprinting. The running workouts are increasing and I am dropping time, my goal is to compete in meets in January. I do remind myself everyday when I train that I have to work hard because I have something to prove.
"When things are hard and rough you must never ever quit"
As I am training and a stay at home mom, I realize that my daughter will be my motivation. She smiles at me at practice and reminds me that I am doing this for her. I have had some downs lately in regards to a sponsor who has made things difficult for me. I often ask this question, "Why is it when you are doing well the sponsor wants to support you and when things aren't going well or you had a child and are back in training they want to make you feel as if you aren't worth their time. I wish that sponsors took in regards that everyone should be given a chance to prove themselves. I guess that is what I must do and what I am determined to do.

Let's see what is new with BMW, she is laughing more and loves to grab things. I am excited to see when I can start to give her rice cereal. She loves to watch her mommy and daddy eat. She stares at our food and watches us put it in our mouth. She is very attentive and explores things that are going on around her. She has begun to come back to practice with me and I think it is a learning experience for her. She watches me run around the trak and plays in her Exersaucer. I look forward to her starting to sit up and crawl. We took Christmas pictures and we could not get her to smile but she was curious to what we were doing. Chris is really enjoying watching her grow. Well she goes to her 4 month check up and we will see her weight and length and oh no more shots. So please take care and catch u with me soon.
