Phase 2 contd.

[Pax_luv]

Thank you all so much! I appreciate the support like you wouldn't believe!

Upon reflecting back on the race, I was prepared and lazer focused. That is one of my strong suits, to be honest. I've always been good at "go time". The water was cold, there was a strong current, I kept swimming and going nowhere! The bike part was tough too, there was one 600 foot elevation gain at a 45* incline. THAT was crazy- my legs were literally on fire and I did this bad boy on my heavy duty mountain bike- equipped with doggy basket rack and bell . If I do this again, I will use a real bike for sure!

So, what next?!? I want to keep this momentum going. I feel like there is nothing stopping me from these things I've only dreamed of doing. I can honestly, say I wouldn't have accomplished any of it if I was still with h. It's not his thing..... And because it wasn't his thing, I would have allowed it to not be my thing either. As I always say, I know better now!

I've always wanted to hike the kalalau trail on the NaPali coast. It's doable... Only 22 miles round trip, but I need to find a hiker friend to do it with. I don't know anyone! A full Marathon??! Maybe... I'm afraid of blowing out my knees, but might as well try. I appreciated the challenge the tri brought me as I had to spend a lot of time focusing on it- adhering to a training schedule and nutrition plan. I want to keep with it, but I know I could get lazy if I'm not focusing on the goal at hand.

Also, I have the opportunity to go to Uganda with the boys and girls club... That seems interesting. I've been mulling that over, but have to get some funding to go. I halfway looked into becoming an uber driver for some extra $$$. Ahhhhh.... There's also that looming divorce I have to look forward to!

Anyway, just my musings right now. I'll be doing some research tonight after my happiness class to see what my next adventure shall be!
