Busy Busy Busy Schedule

So keeping busy is not a problem for me these days. It is finding that necessary down time that I am having a little more trouble with. There is so much life to live, and so many exciting moments to experience that sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect harmony between the two.

I am currently working at NetJets, Tri-Tech Multisport, and trying to start my own home-based business selling USANA products. I work 7 days a week as of this week. I still have to find time to do laundry, shower, brush my teeth, take my vitamins, eat, sleep, and find some time to train for the triathlon. I don't get to train with the team nearly as much anymore and that makes me sad. I have to train alone, and I miss getting to connect with the teammates. It is really nice having someone to run with. I like when I run with Bill because he has helped coach me a lot, and I also like running with Mary because she helps motivate me to push myself more and give myself smaller more manageable goals. I'm almost sad that the race is going to be so soon, but I hope to participate in it again next year, and hopefully get some friends to join with me.

Run, Forest, Run!

Oh man... Running! Ick. I feel like it's the hardest part about training to get motivated for. Swimming is easy because I'm motivated not to drown. Biking is the easiest because I just looooooooooooooove being on the bike, so I don't need to search for any motivation. But running.... ah shoot me. I figured if I reached my fundraising goal, then I should be able to ride my bike the last 6.2 miles instead of running it, right? Well since that is not an option, I realized just how bad I need to get over whatever unconscious fear I have about running, and get my butt out there and (as Nike so eloquently puts it) "Just Do It"! I mean did I honestly think I would make it to the finish line (without walking, which is my goal) without putting in the work? I mean I know God performs miracles, but I just needed to be honest with myself. 

So everyone that I'm training with pretty much knows that I just DO NOT like the run. Well yesterday it was really funny because as our group started off running the trail a few bikes had passed us by. When they went by I kind of reached out my hand as if to say, "trade me", or "take me with you...".  One of my team members, Ann, almost instantaneously said what I was thinking at that very moment... She said I should get a shirt made that says, "I'd Rather Be Riding My Bike". How funny is that? And it's so funny because it's sooooo true!

Well that is my little tid-bit for now. Until next time, and as always...

~Be well~
