Racing toward my Path with Heart

[SuperDad]

Hi Chris,
I am slowly getting my act together on the D. Went to IC today and got some advice on how to break the news to the kids and how to try to deal with W on the subject.

At one point today, the C looked at me and said, "She sounds borderline sociopathic!" This was in regard to her continuing belief that I should just keep living like this while she has a long term R with another man. I had to laugh...it's that or cry.

Anyway, I hadn't seen the C in nearly a year and it was an interesting way to take stock and get some perspective in how far I've come.

Still need to get to the financial planner to check on details of the settlement and how they may impact me down the road.

Etc., etc., etc.

As far as racing goes, I think I actually enjoy the workouts with the tri-club more than the events themselves. I have made a lot of great friends and the daily endorphin rush sure don't hurt the PMA. That and the lingering glances from the ladies.

I actually have a 1/2 marathon at the end of the month and then a short pause in training before the prep for next year starts. Goals will be to qualify for the national age group championships in the Spring race...shouldn't be a problem, and then to try to be competitive by the Fall. Gotta work on my running, a lot!

I think that is the best thing that I have taken from DBing...to always have some goals, to monitor progress in baby steps, and to adjust the plan when you don't see results. Something I always knew, but just never applied to all aspects of my life!

Carpe Diem, SD.
