Yellow Starburst

I feel a bit like yellow starburst right now. The new chapter in my life has already been presented with some challenges and it is only 48 hours old! I guess I need to remember "life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." My feelings get hurt pretty easily when people don't return phone calls and text messages. If it is just one, I am usually ok, but when it is multiple people in the same day it is kind of easy to start feeling like a yellow starburst. Hopefully tomorrow I will start feeling more like a pink or red starburst.

Think you might just still be experiencing post IM blues. Relax for two weeks and then see how you feel.

Such negativity!?! I stumbled across your blog as a fellow endurance (well for me seriously amateur) endurance athlete in Texas while you were going through your pre-IMAZ taper phase. I found it a fun read (for me - probably not for you) to read about someone else experiencing the same feelings as I often do pre-race. Anyway, I disagree. I always say run faster and longer to blow off the excess steam and stress. Besides we always feel better after a good hard workout.(Sorry, there is no way I am sitting on a bike seat for 112 miles and then running 26 - I just stick to running - biking or swimming, it's all you.)

If it makes you feel better girl, I know of someone who would like to talk to the yellow starburst and is kinda shy and thought that you would not talk to them. They tried at CB&I but you did not look at them when they talked to Michelle.

Smile!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
