Hi all! I’ve definitely been in a flurry of transit and movement for the last few weeks. But, huge and important news to the meaning of this blog:

I HAVE REGISTERED!

Ladies and gents, I’ve plonked down money to register myself into Ironman Canada 2009! So, that’s it. Now all I have to do is train. And I think I’ve said that before, but now it’s real. Battling butterflies went through my stomach as I stood in line in the rain in Penticton on August 25th, and similar battling butterflies were going nuts as I typed in the last few lines of information on the registration website just now.

So, where do I go from here? I’ve joined the Calgary Triathlon Club, and I’m excited about that. Now I have a community of similarly minded folk to train with, learn with and work to a common goal with. And, it’ll get my swimming up and running managed by people who know what they are doing. Huzzah!

As far as training goes, I’ve been doing pretty much none. Not even really eating that well. And, I think this has me feeling more tired than anything else. Just lacking the workouts that I used to live for has me more tired than I’m used to. So, I’m back on the biking horse. Agnes and I will be whipping around town together really soon. And, I need to pull out my schedule for workouts with UCTC, because I have indoor spinning class with them starting really soon as well.

This feels good. I’ve been in some really strong self-doubt (notice how have I haven’t been posting?) and that has had me ducking and hiding. But, I’m going to work to try to post each week, regardless of how I ‘feel’. Let’s see me stick to that.
