That's right. Less than 2 months to Beach 2 Battleship half iron distance race. To stay I am beginning to get nervous would be a massive understatement. I've been working hard, and have put in a lot of miles. Hasn't stopped me from wondering what in the hell I signed myself up for.
This week has just been one of those weeks. From a outside viewpoint, it should have been a great week. Monday was Labor Day, so no work, I ran a 10k and felt strong the whole race, my boyfriend came home from three weeks working in Germany, and his offer on a house was accepted, and he asked me to move in with him when my lease is up.
From my viewpoint this week went like this: I didn't get the PR in the 10k that I wanted, my boyfriend is buying a house, and wants me to live with him, and while I love him, and definitely want to, I'm having anxiety attacks because it's such a huge step in our relationship and frankly this officially means we're grownups. Doesn't help that my birthday is next week.
It's time to take a step back, take a deep breath, and try to look at the week from the outside perspective. Things are not really so bad. My training is going well overall, and 50 days is still a lot of time.
About Me
- 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.
