LOO-ray/Getting Out

[legalmoose]

Started training again this morning, after a two week mostly-break. Was hot as all get-out, but got through it. My next race is in 4 weeks, in Luray Virginia (pronounced “LOO-ray,” not “luh-ray” as you might think), another olympic race, so I have to get prepped for that. Remind me not to take an exercise break after my next breakup, it’s not worth it, even if I am feeling blue.

In other news regarding the breakup, I seem to have gotten some of my tolerance back. Not that this is necessarily a good thing, but it is nice not being completely worthless after having drinks.

I’ve finally managed to break out of some of the isolation I’ve had especially in this two week period, but also to a degree since having moved down to southwest. I’m trying to be more active about getting myself out of the apartment and around folks, and spent a good part of the weekend doing just that. And that’s been fun. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to work in training for all three sports in the tri, but I’ll muddle through somehow. In the meantime, I’m enjoying getting out of the house more, and look forward to more of this.

Your taking breaking up much better than I ever did.

I had a few drinks this weekend with my sister in law and surprisingly held my own after 9 months of not drinking. I was quite happy with myself. Why is that such a feat in our minds?

Quick question for you. When you found your tri-group that your in, how did you come across it? I'd like to start looking into doing triathlons, I think that would hold more interest for me then just running, I just don't know where to start. In Indiana i'm not finding any groups like the one you have mentioned.

Oh, trust me, there are screaming fit moments here as well. I'm just calm online. ;)

I just searched on "dc triathlon" to find 'em. However, USA Triathlon also lists some clubs, and you can find the Indiana ones here. Not sure if you'll find one near you, but that's a start. :) If you don't find one there, we can see if there's something else around you.
