Last week I ran up against that old yet familiar roadblock: getting sick! I need to stop overstretching myself.

Thoughts about love after last week’s Valentine’s Day. Don’t worry, it’s sport-related! Read this week’s installment of Road to SuBIT.

If in my previous Road to SuBIT update I felt very much in control, this past week was the converse of that. Training is already a stressor, but when life and work dramas intrude, layering the training over these can be a bit too much to handle.

I’ve been feeling pleased with myself for getting training done, but given my past history I’m a little bit paranoid that I won’t be able to keep this up.

I had an interesting first week of tri training. The distances I’m tackling at this point are short, but to paraphrase the great Chrissie Wellington: some sessions are stars and some are stones, but they are all rocks we build on.

For my seventh blog anniversary post, I want to highlight The Magnificent 7: seven of the blog entries I’ve made that are most significant for me.
