 Posted: 05/27/03 - 09:34 Post subject: Tri America
Well i embark thursday morning to put on a major triathlon in Irving Texas.
*****
My shoulder is starting to hurt again, my hip too. Thought i got over the hip thing when running, guess not. My shoulder has a weird nerve problem, just don't have the time/money to get it checked out.
*****
I ran this morning for the first time in 2 weeks (since my race) and it was nice.
*****
I hate traffic
*****
Blogger is messed up and won't let me save my templates, so i'm stuck with what i got for now 
*****
I need to find some extra motivation for work...and quick. I'm slacking a bit and even though my boss thinks i'm great...i knwo i'm not doing my best and that bothers me.
*****
I've come full circle. I used to love myself, content with how i looked and acted. I was free and triathlon helped me get there. Now i don't love myself anymore, and i can't love anyone else till i can love myself again. I'm not sure what happened, but somewhere along the way i became very insecure with myself again. So is my life, doomed to peaks and valleys of emotion and confidence. I think my confidence had something to do with having a girlfriend that loved me, i didn't have to worry about it. Now that i'm on the free market i feel especially vulnerable and defensive.
*****
I'm pretty excited about going to Irving. I hope the event goes well. I like my position too, i'm the guy who fills in everywhere that's needed, so i'm never standing around. I'm always needed, and feeling needed is a good thing.

I think everyone's life is like that to some extent.
At least mine is.

Jed-
It's always hard to pick yourself up out of a slump. You need to take a step back and see what you've accomplished and stop putting yourself down. Last year you got a new job working in a field that you love-not many people can say that they love what they do. You decided to to an Ironman and signing up for something like that isn't an easy decision. In less than a year you've done numerous tris, one being a half ironman in 6:30 which is pretty amazing. You have 5 months until your Ironman which is alot of time to train. Take it one day at a time and make sure you give yourself one complete day off a week so you don't burn yourself out.

Lucky you, coming to Irving! Home of the Cowboys. I hope the tri goes well, and they don't work you to death.
We're in Ft. Worth, let me know if you need anything.

YOU need to make you feel important first, my dear....I just read your other post and you're definitely on the right track. Look to yourself for happiness, don't put that burden on anyone else or you'll likely be disappointed. Instead, be happy on your own and you'll have much more to share with someone else when the time comes.
You'll be OK....you really do have a good head on your shoulders. We all have these slumpy crappy times but they always go away and life is good....now go kick some major ASS in Irving and come back and tell us all about it.
