About Me

I started training for my last triathlon last year because my New Year's goal was to "step outside my comfort zone," and I figured, what's more outside my comfort zone than a triathlon? I was a compentent swimmer, in that, I wouldn't drown under normal circumstances, hadn't biked since I was ten, and while I had run cross country in high school, even then, I was one of the slowest runners on the team. Well, in finishing my first triathlon, I discovered not only a new hobby/addiction, but a lot about myself. What follows are my ramblings about what I've found.

3,000 Miles

Adam is in California for two months for work. His work told him they had a project for him to work on out there, and a week later he was on the West Coast. I've been telling myself over and over that it would fly by. Its been two weeks, and it feels like it's been a year. Although I have to be fair, I know the time has passed more quickly for me than for him. I have a half marathon coming up on Sunday, which I've been training for, and looking forward to. He doesn't know anyone out there, and while work keeps him busy, the weekends kind of suck. I get to go out there and visit him next weekend, but this weekend he's been feeling blue. I feel bad because I know he's just lonely and misses me, and I have a fun weekend planned.

This half is going to be interesting. I haven't been training as hard for it as I did for my first one. I have been training, and in general am faster than I was last year, and have a good base. I know I can finish. It will be interesting though. And three of my friends here are running with me, and an old friend from high school (middle school actually, now that I think) coming in town to run. So it's going to be fun regardless.

And next weekend, I get to go to the left coast to see my honey. I can't believe how much I miss him actually. Him being gone is making me realize just how much he means to me. We got a place on the beach, and I'll be able to really relax and enjoy the weekend. Can't wait!!
