running in place

minor setback yesterday. it was one of those, day is going great. slam. hit a wall kind of days. i didn't really need it 13 days pre st george.  but then again who ever really needs those kind of days.

on my ride, i set out to go 80.  i only went 52.  the rest was the slam part.  the pattern here ive found is this, juggle 100 items in the air at the same time and at precisely the same moment they all inevitably fall. at. the. same. time.  i would equate this fall to how an alcoholic might feel when they are sober and then go on a bender 13 days before their 1 year anniversary.    yea. something like that.

the date is coming whether i like it or not. there will be no groundhog days in between.  the hills did not shrink, the water is still cold, and there are about a million people counting on me to finish this thing. 

so today i'm trying out that whole positive thinking process.  like when you start to think you can't accomplish something you are supposed to tell yourself you can. so far so good but its still early.  yesterday wasn't my best moment, pretty low on the scale actually. 

but tonight is PK's spin class and he's very good at snapping me back to reality.
