New Beginnings
“Mighty things from small beginnings grow” – John Dryden
The last 24 hours has been a complete whirlwind. On a very sad note, Ally’s mom passed away yesterday. She had been struggling the last few days and as sad as it was to see her go, she is in a much more peaceful place.
Today though couldn’t have been more different. The first contraction started at 4:30 this morning; six hours later Isla Aoibhinn was born. Ally achieved rock star status during the delivery (both babe and mom are fine).
More later…
Training:
Thursday: 1:47:20 with 25’ tempo (5’), 20’ tempo (4’), 15’ tempo (3’), 10’ tempo (2’), 5’ tempo
Friday: day off (unscheduled)

Congratulations Michael to you and Ally, let the fun begin. Very sorry to hear about Ally's mum. The circle of life brings both happy and sad moments. Look after yourselves.
Each time you popped up in my bloglines during the past few weeks I've clicked and hoped to read this post. Congratulations to the new family, and my condolences as well.
You have a wonderful ride ahead of you my friend.
Just like Mike, I've been waiting for these news each time you added a new post. Well, the second part of the news, of course.
I'm very sorry to hear about Ally's mum, the two of you must be going through a roller coaster of emotions.
Congratulations to the three of you.
