The Tri-Spot: Poor Odds

Poor Odds

The odds were definitely stacked against me this week, and I will be re-starting Insanity tomorrow. I had a week of vertigo, doctors appointments, dishcrawl and Derby parties - needless to say the energy I put out this week was, by far, a lot less than the food I took in. And I gotta say, this weather is really doing a number on my mood as well. I mean, it's May 5th and it's 55 degrees outside. REALLY??? C'mon Mother Nature! So I haven't done jack smack all day long. I don't forsee any issues coming up in the near future, so my workout plan should not be hampered any further. Alicia and I have the Mudathlon this coming Saturday and I'm looking forward to all that crazy fun. However, the forecast is calling for rain - but that could only make things more interesting, right?

Welcome

I ran my first race (a 5k) in 2005 as part of a training plan for what was to become my first half-marathon later that year. Running 13.1 miles was merely a bucket-list item for me at the time, and after a painful and grueling 3+ hour race I swore that I would never do it again.

All these years later I have now competed in over 25 half-marathons, 5 full marathons and countless triathlons. I never thought that endurance sports would ever be a part of my life. I mean, I couldn't even run a mile when I started this journey. Yet, here I am. Getting up at the crack of dawn in the 20 degree weather (or 80% humidity) to train with a great group of folks - all to compete in endorphin-inducing races that keep me young and humble.
