I rode my bike to and from work again yesterday. It's a good way to force me out of my comfort zone and spent some low key time in the saddle. It doesn't replace other work I should be doing on the bike, but it's a good addition to my life.
This whole week has been low-key exercise-wise. I've been excessively exhausted, and haven't been sleeping well. Since it's both a post-race (duathlon) week and a pre-race (10k mud run tomorrow) week I haven't had much motivation to push myself. That's probably for the best.
After tomorrow mud run I have a clear race calendar until the middle of August. I have a laundry list of goals for this fall, most of which conflict. And while I'd like to think I can simultaneously train for 4 different types of goals, it's not going to work out. Mostly, I am excited to be in a position when I want to pursue goals, so I want to work on all of the, RIGHT NOW, while I'm excited about it. I'm champing at the bit to improve all of my athletic skill sets to the point where I'll end up Jack-Of-All-Master-Of-None-ing the shit out of myself if I don't rein in it.
So, there's that. Right now my summer is laid out in front of me, brimming with possibility and potential. I have no idea what my limits are when it comes to training and goals. It will be interesting to explore those limits. And frustrating, I'm sure. I don't deal well with not being good at something. It's come easy enough thus far.
It's going to be an interesting summer.
The End.
When I was in high school, my friends and I decided we didn't want to be friends with anyone whose thighs didn't touch because it meant they were skinnier than us. I think you are funny though and you buy cat food by the case like I do so I'll still be a "bloggy friend." :)
ReplyDeletegood idea riding to work to get used to being out there!
ReplyDeleteI think your potential in all aspects of athleticism is simply HUGE. Huge. You are seriously gifted.
ReplyDeleteDitto. Just pick something and be awesome at it. Done.
DeleteYou kick ass. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWith your consistency of training and your motivation, I think you're capable of accomplishing some pretty awesome things, as long as you can keep uninjured, especially from those pushing too hard injuries like your butt muscle or whatever that gets testy on those sprints.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in that stage of wondering just what I'm capable enough without actually devoting the time/effort to finding out. Your want to do it all definitely speaks to me...you know I'm all about that frame of mind.
Super sweaty! Love it! I have a woman in boot camp that doesn't sweat. It makes me mad :p
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotten about you, dear Rose! I'm gathering up your winnings and mailing them this week. I will get a hold of Fashletics today to see how you redeem your gift cert with them.
I still don't understand why you don't wear shorts all the time? Weirdo.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the ass shot. Monday morning has been saved.
ReplyDeleteAt least we get to see your ass welcome us to summer! Life is as it should be!
