I haven't been in the water since July. I haven't gone for a ride since July. I haven't gone for a run for over two weeks.

um...

Be careful what you ask for

It's official. I'm in. I have been admitted to the doctoral program to which I applied.

Crap.

Now what?

Well, to begin with, when I start something I finish it. But, I suspect this is going to be a great deal more than I had bargained.

Fine.

So be it.

Bring it on.

I'm ready to leave my mark.

You have to read this

My favorite triathlete just totally kicked some major triathlon butt this weekend. She rocked. She rolled. She swam, biked, and ran to TWO awesome PR's!

Check out her race reports here.

Thanks Marsha. You flatter me.

I’ve been running. I like how it’s going. Each run is a little bit different. Noticeably different. That’s good. I like how sometimes I’m faster and sometimes I just cruise and can’t stop watching the clouds. Sometimes I get lost in the music I listen to while I run.

Then there’s my bike.

I haven’t gone for a real ride since my tri back in July. I don’t feel inspired to either. The bike just sits there, rusting. The tires need air.

The book looks at me and then turns it’s shoulder to me as if to say, “Not today. I’m tired.”

Maybe it’s me though.

I haven’t gone for a swim since my tri. I am least proud of my swim during that triathlon than anything I’ve ever done athletically. If I go back to that pool the regulars are gonna want to know how I did.

They’ll think I’m just being humble.

I need to cross train. Running three days a week is NOT getting it done for me. I feel my body wanting to do more.

I did it.

I have officially completed and submitted my application to begin my EdD in Education with an emphasis in Teacher Leadership.

Holy cow!

I thought you had to be smart to get a doctorate thingy...
