WOW, how time flies when you’re not having fun!
Maybe that headline is a little dramatic... but I’ve never claimed to be anything less than that, of course.
Life has been very full and busy since the last entry where I could barely walk. Bless my heart. NYC Marathon was definitely an undertaking, and I’m glad I can say I did it, but boy was that hard.
As of right now, this year’s BST (Big Scary Thing) is probably going to be health related, at least for the first half of the year. I’ve had a few issues come up over the past 10 or so months that have really impacted my ability to swim/bike/run. Hopefully the end is in sight, and the Return to Tri can begin. From what we can tell, MaQuidney is doing fine, so that’s always a good thing!
I’ve spent a lot of time on tables like this over the past year.
We are 48 days into 2020 and I haven’t yet figured out what this year’s Life List item is going to be. It was going to be going to the Olympics in Tokyo, but the coronavirus has me shook and I’m not really sure that’s the best decision I can make, for a number of reasons. I’m not sure if it’s going to be something tri related, or if it’s just going to be something off of my Life List! I want to get my AFF sky diving license, I want to go to the Olympics. I want to get Little Orphan Annie in driving condition, but I also want to eventually do a full IRONMAN. It’s amazing how far away a 70.3 seems right now, in terms of physical conditioning. I’ve been riding, and I’ve taken up yoga (which I absolutely LOVE, by the way), and I get the occasional swim in, but running has been basically non-existent.
Not my bike or picture, but if they weren’t kept inside they sure as heck would look like that due to lack of proper use!
I miss it. I miss riding for a long time. I miss feeling like I actually did something (athletically) that day, and I just need to do it, but I haven’t. Something always comes up, or I don’t listen to my alarm and I sleep. That will change, but when? Am I the type of person who needs to be registered for something in order to be disciplined enough to get myself out of bed in the wee hours of the morning? I guess I’ll find out once I’m fully recovered! It’s just so hard to “do what I can with what I have, when I can,” even though it’s so easy for me to preach that little saying to others. Do as I say, right?!
I couldn’t describe that any better than this. Yes, I once swam 1.2 miles in an hour. No, I can’t do that right now, but I know I have it in me somewhere. Just Start.
Until then, I will just keep on keeping on. It could be a lot worse, that’s for sure. And I’m absolutely going to continue to live up to my blood type and B+.
Today’s Doughnut Count: 0
Days Until the next BST: Not sure, that thing hasn’t quite been identified yet.
