Hey folks. I am posting this in the Challenges category because not all of my challenges are physical in this journey.
I am having some focus issues with the blog right now. I am having trouble, when I sit down to write, with the motivation to put words down.
I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where I have entirely too much on my plate. This is very typical of me. I have committed myself to too many things. Instead taking a breath, assessing what I need to do, prioritizing and then systematically working my way through everything in order to accomplish my tasks in a reasonable manner and time, it would seem instead that I am looking at the heaping pile of responsibilities in front of me and blankly staring at it with drool oozing out of the corner of my mouth.
The only thing that I seem to be motivated to do right now is train for the triathlon that is coming up IN FIVE FREAKING DAYS!
So that being said, I am very sorry that I have not been writing a whole lot. I am also sorry that the content of what I have managed to peck out on the keyboard has been pretty much lack luster. It isn’t even the dog days of summer yet but I think that the heat here has just drained me of everything.
I promise that once this tri is over and a few more things clear off of my plate, I will jump on it, kemosabe. (Does anyone think that this flaky manic/depressive-like weirdness could have anything to do with me detoxing off of those stupid Monster drinks? Or am I just a head case?)
In the mean time, take a look at some of the pics I have taken with my phone over the past two weeks.
If this is what your feet look like after paddle surfing, you might be doing it wrong…
While I know they are not 22″ guns, I must say that I have noticed some improvement on my arms and shoulders. Thanks KettleHell.
In 5 days time I will be swimming, biking, and running my way to a “I Did a Sprint Triathlon and All I Got Was this Stupid T-shirt” t-shirt.
That poor pomegranate never stood a chance.
I got Lace Locks for my Brooks running shoes. Not because I think that they will help me in the triathlon. I got them because I am lazy.
We sure will miss poor Jim. I guess I should have yelled that there was a gator. Aw, I shouldn’t blame myself. That poor gator was just hungry.
Until the next until…
you’re a TOTAL head case, but for none of the reasons you’ve listed here. sometimes blessings can be mistaken as burdens. we’ve got first-world problems, dude. just keep on swimming… xoxo

Have a great time doing your triathlon. My husband and stepson are doing one this weekend too! Can’t wait to hear about yours 😉
haha that is pomegranate demolition! hope your feet feel better!
I think you should quit writing and start helping me and Iron Maiden plan a surf trip to Costa Rica.
I tell you what. I think I can keep writing AND help plan that trip. Tell me what you need me to do. Troll.

Head case? Yeah, pretty much. But I’m also convinced that most athletes (and especially those that blog about it) are head cases.

Is it the taper paranoia?I always become a head case a few weeks before a big event. I am convinced I have injuries, that I haven’t trained enough, etc etc! Relax and enjoy it. 🙂
