I seem to be apologizing lots lately for not blogging as much. I have had a lot of big life changes in the past couple of months. I am still loving my job at Alliance and have gotten my feet wet into the world of cold calling. Despite the fact that there are some days I get nowhere and talk to nothing but voicemail, there have been other days where I have great success. I live for those days because it is why sales can be so much fun. So far, so good. I particularly love my 10 step commute to my office, although it is a battle to keep a balance between work and home. Jeff keeps me straight, though. Actually, my sweets has really been putting his foot down lately and I have always liked that side of him. He makes sure I close the door to the home office when I am done for the day, and he has been watching me like a hawk for those motions that I shouldn’t make, like reaching for anything over my head or twisting around. It has only been a few weeks since my last SCS adventure.
Speaking of this last adventure, my 4th one in 2 years, you might have noticed I have not been talking much of training. There is no way at this point that I’ll be able to train for and complete the Half Ironman in Orlando. Really I have been re-considering my desire to resume my triathlon lifestyle. I want to be a triathlete again so much but my body always revolts. If I want to be able to remain upright as the years go by, I’m going to have to adjust the activities and hobbies I choose to do. I think I will try to become more of a swimmer. I love swimming, although my first triathlon was the first time I swam in a competition. I had plenty of opportunity to swim competitively growing up in Florida, but it was so serious that I would have had time for nothing else. I preferred team sports growing up, although the water has always made me happy. Swimming is one activity where I can reach my zen. I can swim forever. My body doesn’t seem to feel tired and my mind completely relaxes. Eventually I would like to start training for a 1 mile open water swim here in NC, but I’m going to play everything by ear. I still have about 3 weeks until I can start swimming again. I can’t wait!
I thought about changing the title of my blog since I have to disregard my plans for the Half-Ironman but Ironman represents too much of me to change the name. I don’t think I’ll ever give up the dream, and having to put it aside this year just represents my overall journey.
I am hoping to keep my apologies to a minimum in the future. Stay tuned for more and more posts as my target swim date draws near.
