You cannot be "up," or expected to be "up," every day of the year. This is hard work on its own. If you were independently wealthy and never had to work, I imagine that you (all of us) would eventually get to that point of struggling with balance. Ironman is such a commitment and we all should not take it lightly, as burn-out is a real possibility.<br /><br />I don't know you KC, but judging by your training log and the posts you have, I am certain that you are a dedicated athlete that knows that the greater the obstacle the better is feels when you cycle to the top of it and kick its ass.<br /><br />The poem is perfect. I have printed it out and hung it on my mirror in the bathroom and I plan to read it daily. Thank you for motivating me.<br /><br />Be strong..... the blogosphere has your back and although we are not all there physically, we are there in sprit creating the bestest biggest sweetest damn draft zone imaginable.<br /><br />P.S. - I imagine the site is not "blue"by coincidence. You are the first person I know of with a mood blog.

Especially during the "get the work done" phase of training (which, for GFT, is RIGHT NOW)!<br /><br />No worries. From the looks of your training log you are putting in some serious miles and speed. Keep it up, and I'll see you when you lap me on the GFT run course! :-Pmccroryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433607778328652671noreply@blogger.com
