Triathlon Training during the waiting...

Waiting to hear back from a job interview when you constantly are informed on more information gets a little stressful...

... on the other hand: training for the triathlon provides a great distraction. Last year the biggest disappointment, but also the greatest mental growth experience, was the biking portion. My bike first had issues within the first 3 miles, probably closer to 2. As I kept going I realized there wasn't really any tread, which continued to make me want to stop going. I completed it (took longer than it should have) and with it felt accomplished to have done so. This year I have a dependable bike so I'm excited to be dropping tons of time in that portion! With that being said I have to use the next few days to get used to it since I'm borrowing it from my sister. That and the next few days I want to be as active as possible without overdoing it!

The more active I am I find the less stressed I am- I tend to have a different focus. I find the same to be true in life. If I focus on other activity and things that I can do today rather than what tomorrow may bring I'm more content and find I'm more prepared for tomorrow. That and I'm exhausted more easily and sleep better! On that note: I feel like an old woman going to bed early, but I'm doing it any way! That's a quick update for now!
