Phase 2

Hi Pinn! Yes sir, I am still training for the tri. 19 days! Holy cr@p!!! The ankle is doing ok... Still giving me some problems, but I'm keeping my runs light which seem to help. Some days I think I'm in over my head with this but I'm excited. I've been nervous about the swim, so I'm just trying to get as much pool time in as possible (which isn't a lot... 3x week). However, now I'm nervous about the bike ride! I learned that one hill has a 600 ft elevation gain. Wth?!?! I've already resigned myself to thinking that I will probably have to hop off the bike and walk it up the hill. I have a 25 mile bike ride scheduled for next weekend so it will be a good training run.

I've been trying to get together with a girlfriend of mine who has done tri's in order to get a better idea of what to expect, but we just can't seem to make it happen. I've never even seen a tri in person so I'm kind of making up what I'm going to have to do/ what I'm going to have to wear, etc. I want some guidance. Truth is.... The not knowing part is kind of exciting. I've been reading a lot and training a lot and having fun with it. While I know it's going to be hard and scary, I'm doing everything possible to not give up, push myself, and just make it happen. Hmmmmm sounds a lot like db'ing.

Other than that, things are ok. Status quo with the h. I keep missing my opportunities to validate... But I'm not too bent out of shape over it. He was very pleasant with me during our recent swap.

All is ok in Feyth's world. Had a crazy weekend of gal activities and need to seriously detox this week. I've gone to two live sporting events including pre-parties and tailgating so I'm officially wayyyy over stuffed with beer and carbs. Does not feel good!

Thanks for checking in! Wishing everyone a great week.
