While I haven't dug out a soccer ball yet I did get my bike out today. How the time flies when you're out riding. As much as I'm grateful for my inside trainer it is just not the same. I went 38 kms which certainly is not that far but still a good start. Of course a perfect cycling day helped as well. Beautiful sunshine and very little wind. The nice thing is that my ass didn't get the least bit sore and I think I will be able to pick up the distance very quickly. Of course I was quite slow as well but that also is to be expected. I know its very early and I can't count on the weather yet but I will try to get out every chance I can. Cycling seems to have an advantage over running when it comes to managing my anxiety....I think because it's easier to relax and still keep moving forward. The only real choice you have when running is to walk, which I also do sometimes.
I haven't really decided whether I'm doing any triathlons this year. Part of me just wants to relax and another part thinks that focusing on preparing for races may be good for me. I know this. As soon as Aug 30th rolls around I will try to register for ironman Canada 2011. For the sake of that plan I don't really need to do any racing this year, but would be much better served by working on my swimming technique and on improving my strength and body composition. Soon I will find the ambition.
Thats all I have other than to answer a few questions.
Elly, I can't name one particular thing that I'm angry about. Ask me what makes me the most sad and I would have an answer for you.
John, yes certainly you can take some of the credit. After all you had the good sense to marry her mother!
Stella, imagine my surprise to find out that there were 2 Roos. I guess that makes me doubly blessed.....or perhaps all of us doubly blessed eh? And even though I got the old model I'm pretty content with her.
“A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive."---Pearl Bailey

Peter, you might have the "old" model but she is also the prototype, the original, the paradigm!!
John, you certainly can take some credit, not only because you had the good sense to marry her mother but because you have always been, from my perspecitve anyway, an awesome dad. Young Roo, you make us all proud.
