lately...

lately i've been having some pretty good workouts. feeling strong on the bike and quick on the run. i've even had moments (ok seconds) of fluidity in the pool. wonder of all wonders! so i'm kind of enjoying my first go round at base training. not knowing what to expect, every little thing, even bike/pylo workouts are a treat! i know crazy right? but i find that i have written the word FUN on my training sheets more than a few times...

lately the weather has turned a bit chilly. definately not the arctic temperatures that we have up north, but enough to warrent these southerners to don coats and hats and mittens.. meanwhile i'm running around in a t shirt with wet hair! we did have a bought of snow. late last week about 3 pm we noticed that it was indeed snowing outside. but of course it lasted all of about 10 minutes and the funny part was that there was one snow cloud and big blue sky all around this one poor little cloud..

lately i've been neglecting my friends and family, and for that i feel terrible. whether for work or workouts or sheer laziness - i'll be the first to admit that- i've been out of the loop for a bit and its only when you realize that you have not talked to your mom in more than 2 weeks that you need to get your head back in the game! and- not to make excuses - but my mind works backwards in that a trigger to call someone always comes at the most inopportune times. like in a meeting or at 11 pm or when its 11 pm their time ... but time to stop making excuses. this is the week to remind them that i'm THANKFUL for them :)

lately i've been thinking alot about 2009 and what i want to accomplish. i have some pretty big ideas and i know that now is the time to lay the frame to get them. i've had some time to reflect back on this past season and really take in some mistakes i made and some lessons i learned. but also to clean my slate and take the opportunity to start fresh. but it also makes me EXCITED. excited to get better and excited to step up to the starting line. and excited to charter some new territory. excited that i have a great support system and a great coach. excited to keep learning and maybe just maybe find my next gear.

happy thanksgiving everyone!.
