Where does the time go?

Time flys....it has been 20 days since my last post. I guess I have been busy.....well yeah I have been, no guessing here. Still procrastinating on my taxes. I am afraid! The Tax Man Cometh. $$$$$$$$$
I wear too many hats and do too many things. I need to stop all of my extracurricular activities so I can train a little bit harder. Although things will get easier after Mid-Year Assembly in DC in the middle of April and when the Airway Conference I am planning is finished on May 3rd in Boise. Life will be good!

Training has been going well. I am spending more time in the pool because that is the event I am most afraid of. It is not like I can stop and walk....although that would be nice. I know it is the shortest event, but it is where I am the weakest link. I am getting there though.

My bike is awesome....spending more time in the saddle, although wish the weather would get a little bit nicer. Don't have a trainer to hop on and I don't really want to spend the extra money. I do like getting out in the open air and really climbing up the hills. Going down should be fun, but I am afraid of wiping out. I just need to get over that, but I don't want to get injured....wimpy wimpy wimpy.

Running off of the bike everytime I am on the bike. Of course it feels weird at first but it is getting better and better. I just need to get past the first 5minutes, that is the toughest time for me.

Nutrition....Nutrition....it is good. I need to take my vitamins though. I keep forgetting and wow I can feel it when I forget. Looking forward to all of the fresh fruits that will be here soon. 6 meals a day is working for me. I do still have some days where all I want to do is eat. But I guess I am expending alot more calories with all of the training.

Be proud, I am getting more sleep and it feels good. I love the afternoon cat nap. I know it it the time where I repair my body and the entire Growth Hormone thing....I get it....I am a health care worker. I do still wish that I didn't need to sleep as much. Then I could get more done in a day. My bad!

11 more weeks until my event is here. I feel great and more powerful! Injury free so far and loving it. I still need to buy a wetsuit and start doing some open water swims. I tried a friends wetsuit, but it was a bit too small. Holy cow....it is like trying to put on a full body girdle. What a PITA. Any suggestions on wetsuits?

This was my fortunue in my cookie last night...yes I ate a fortune cookie and it was yummy! "Striving for the best, will bring you closer to the best." Great quote! I don't feel guilty at all for eating the fortune cookie when it sends me empowering messages like that. :-)

Keep up the Strong Work and remember that....


Failure is not an option!
