What am I doing?

Wow, it's been almost 3 weeks since I've last blogged.

I didn't realize how much time and effort it takes to keep a blog...but I know that I need to because folks email me asking me "if everything's ok" (how thoughtful)

of course the best way to see if I'm "alright" is to click on my training log link on the left side of this page.

So the past 3 weeks have been ok training wise. I got sick for about 1/2 week and cause me to miss some workouts but it was on my drop-back week so it didn't have that much affect.

I got my first 5 hour ride on the bike in, and that's good. It was a TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH day on the bike due to the 25mph sustained winds. when your peddling downhill and only going 7 mph...you know it'll be a long day. :)

we'll training isn't putting a stress on my body....it's work. I'm steering my own ship now (no longer an employee) which is liberating but also risky, scary, but exciting all at the same time. when you're the sole provider for the family and take risk like this....it can't do anything but cause stress.

I vowed to myself to only discuss training and charity fundraising on this blog so I'll try not to mention professional life...although right now it's such a huge component of my stress and affects my training and recovery (lack of sleep due to stress).

Irrespective of this, training is going well but can't believe there is only 4 months left until I attempt something I am completely unsure I can complete...but that's why I signed up for it so I better just go Nike (aka Just Do It).
