Right after I made that last post, the wheel fell of my bike. I've been quiet for the rest of the month because I really didn't want February to go down as the most expensive month ever. Anyone who has a bike, please note, having the back wheel fall off is super expensive. Luckily, I have an amazing boyfriend who is fixing it once and for all, 3 cartridges, 1 wheel-set and a chain later. It took a few wrong steps to get it right.
And now, this weekend, I can finally start training for this half-ironman like a big girl, on my bike.
As I think about training, about work, an about simplifying my life it boils down to one common theme. Organize BEFORE things get crazy. Unfortunately it's all at the crazy stage. I spend my days at work putting out fires at a level or two above my pay grade. I'm 9 weeks out from race day and don't remember how to ride a bike (exaggeration, sure, but I'm nervous still). I am slowly getting things together at home, but don't have tons of time for that either. Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time on that this weekend after finishing up stained glass stuff, riding my bike and running lots.
