Sometimes writing this stuff makes me feel like the guy on the deserted island who's recording his daily activities and moods, just in case someone may someday read them. If I were that guy I would tell you that metaphorically speaking I am at low tide today. For some reason my motivation is at an all time low. It seems like I have to force everything. I'm not sure why, but I hope it's just a winter time rut. I swam 1000 metres this morning and felt like a rock, and then rode for 2 hours this afternoon. I hope the weather co-operates tomorrow so that I can get a good long run in, as that always seems to make me feel better. I also have this tentative plan to take a short ride outside on sunday, again depending on the weather.
That's all for now. Send me some motivation will ya?
I wish to dedicate day 142 to Roo's brother Rob, just a good guy!

Not sure how motivating this is, but this blog is my new bible, I pretty much read it every night before I go to bed. It makes me think and laugh and wonder and I should probably comment more, but I'm like Teresa, I'm always worried that the second I post I'm going to realized how retarded what I wrote sounded. Anyway my point is that it's an important thing you're doing, and "just in case" you been thinking of taking a day off, think again! Cory and Peter won't be the only ones to come kick your ass.
Good Comment Larry. I sometimes feel the same way about my comments, but I am too stubborn to allow those thoughts to prevent me from posting anyway.
Peter, if you need motivation, come within 5 feet of me, and I will bet that I can kick you 10 feet away.....in case you're wondering, dad once offered that bet to me while standing around in the barn talking.
Love Old John
How nice to be needed for ass kicking! That's the same thing as motivation right? Like Larry I also read this blog faithfully every morning before doing anything else. Unlike Larry, I no longer care how retarded I sound as the word is long out and there is no recinding it. I've been very tired lately as illustrated by my failure to correct you grammer and spelling recently. I'm really sorry I missed your blog numbering error. It's all I have to distract you from your "low tides" and I've fallen down on the job. My sincere apologies. I wish you'd quit saying "I seen". It's "I saw", and its become a pet peeve of mine, but that's all I can remember to castigate you about right now. So let me see if I can think of anything supportive and motivating...... No, nothing comes to mind..... well, except quit your damn whining. We've all got the bloody winter blues, and my goals of getting the laundry done and shaving my dog are just as difficult if not as lofty as your training goals. You will just have to be patient with the weather and I bet the tide will come rushing back in as soon as the sunshine is a little more consistent. Hang in there, and just like the addict, remember to only do one day at a time. I know you have to plan but a little flexibility might be good right now, so that you're not so disappointed when it doesn't go as well. It doesn't hurt to remember how amazing your accomplishments to this point have been, instead of carrying your shortcomings around on your back all the time. Buck up!! Isn't it enough that I am so incredibly impressed by you? Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the blessing of you in my life. I love you and am so proud of you for this quest you are undertaking. I never question your commitment to it, whether you're up or down, or even sideways or upside down. Love you!
I love you. Thanks for being.
