Moving On
I've been inspired to move on and stop worrying about my feet. Worry, as we all know, only wastes energy and never solves problems (which doesn't stop me most times from doing a fair bit of worrying). My feet won't get better by worrying about them though. Indeed, the only thing I can do is keep icing them, keep stretching them, keep rolling them on my golf ball, keep babying them when they need to be babied and run on them when I can. If all I can muster at the end of my triathlons this summer are 26 minutes 5Ks, well than so be it. That is what I will muster! In the mean time I can work on swimming and biking faster than I ever imagined I'd be able to.
I'm not quite sure where this new found inspiration came from. I suppose several sources - Corrado's comment on my blog, O's urging to just trust in God's much larger plan, and a quote I read today in someone else's blog. I'm usually not too into quotes, but sometimes you read one that meets you right where you're at. It read "Life is either an ordeal or an adventure. Make yours an adventure." I think I've been making too much of an ordeal out of life lately. I suppose everyone's allowed to do that every once in a while, but not for too long and not too often. My time is up! Time to look at this as an adventure and take the bumps as they may come. For they will surely keep coming...
Today after work I went to the Pitt gym and lifted. And then I drove home, very thankful that I didn't have class! I'm not yet sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. Running may not be a good idea. Perhaps a swim? We shall see!
In the mean time, I'm VERY anxious to get my bike! I keep hoping the store will call and tell me it's ready for fitting. I think it is supposed to be nice this weekend (versus the snow and cold we are having right now!) so I'm hoping to go for a ride outside with my new gear!
