I would like to be selfish and say "go away," but I know we need it. I also know that afterward things will be green and the air will be clear (for about a day). But it definitely has put a damper on the training schedule. Can't wait to be back running on the dirt versus the pavement. My knees are feeling it. Can't wait to get back on my bike. The spinner just isn't the same (not to mention it's UBER uncomfortable).
We swam in the rain on Wednesday -- that was fun. Freezing getting in and out of the pool, but in the water it was nice. The wind was disturbing the surface so it was a tiny taste of open water (very tiny). I miss swimming in the ocean -- soon enough. The coaches were in the pool with us, so that was even more fun. Got to watch them swim. I'm a visual learner.
Training is slowly chugging along. Evan is in the hospital and has been for two weeks now. Reminds me everyday of why I am doing this. The husband of our fundraising captain from last season was just diagnosed with a pediatric cancer last December. Very rare for an adult to have it, but he does and he is chugging along as well. These people who fight everyday make my training seem like a breeze. They are the reason I keep going. Thank you for the inspiration.
