No training today.

Went to the Dr. in the am, then to work for a couple hours, then home to meet Janelle.

Went to All 3 Sports (aka: Porn Store) in the Short Bus with Janelle (Runnergirl) then to dinner. Early bedtime for race tomorrow. Think Janelle kinda likes the mini, but I probably scared her because I drive too fast. Bets on when I get my first ticket?

Slept in until almost 8. It was nice. Went to get the car around 9:30, paperwork, etc. return rental, drove around with Tommie for a little bit and streched the Coopers legs a bit on the highway. She's so peppy and fast!! How long until I get a speeding ticket?? I haven't had one in about 4 years...its probably about time...

Had some stomach issues when I got home from work, I won't go into it, but it kept me from my run. I was already dressed, had my fuel belt and iPod in hand....sigh. Went to my ex's to play with my dog (joint custody) watch some of the Aggie Football game since I didn't get the premium sports channel it came on, and got my luggage for the trip to D.C. next week. ;) Even he liked my little yellow car, I couldn't believe it.

6:45pm-Still at work, but its ok because I left for a couple hours to go debt shopping. In a much better mood than when I wrote the Life Questions below. Found a new bike rack, waiting on loan check to be FedEx'd to dealer....probably picking it up tomorrow!! :) Pictures posted soon!

Hopefully I will get a run in this evening!! I need to get back on track. Anyone want to go pick up my bike from the LBS for me?? She's just waiting there, all alone...

Leaving work early today to look at racks. Hopefully they will have something I want and can get it tomorrow!

....sigh....another down day. Going to work on my resume tonight. This job is so unfulfilling and boring. I want someone to pay me to be a triathlete and not expect me to be that good at it (even though I would be decent if my time was devoted to training). That would be the life...

Life questions I'm pondering: (warning-this isn't an entertaining paragraph, not in my normal jovial Comet mood)
Why am I driven to do these long distance races? Is it because I'm not into organized sports anymore (soccer and softball)? What void am I filling my devoting all my time to training? (I think thats the easiest one to answer-its an emotional void, so I go into myself, pushing myself harder) Is there anything wrong with using training as my outlet? How much is too much? Is there even a void, do I just feed off really hard obstacles or do things I don't think I'm capable of? (I never thought I could do or attempt an iron in April when I registered) Or am I just an active person, that doesn't want a stale life, and keeps trying to things to keep things fun and new? Its so easy to just forget the previous questions and say its the latter, but I don't think I need to do that. What makes this worse is that do not like not knowing answers to questions and these answers don't come quickly or easily. ...sigh...thats enough for now

Got my loan squared away and think I've picked out a new bike rack. Stayed at work until after 7:30. Or was it 8?
