Tri is Coming!

I signed up officially on Monday. And 65 non-refundable dollars later accepted the fact that my foot like, kinda really hurt. So.. my first thought was that I had just wasted a lot of money. But I am being told it's just a bruised heel and it will be fine if I lay off. The good news is that the old busted shoulder is pain-free, so I am making up for all that lost swimming time this week. I am sad about the running. It is my first true love and I hold an affection for it I share only with the cookies. As I have gotten better at swimming though I do find I enjoy it more, just not as much as running (but way more than cycling). I am proud that this week I have successfully put away my security blanket - the nose clip. I no longer need it. It's hard to believe given how much I've struggled with breathing issues since I was in grade school, but I was able to cut the cord for good. I still feel like a goober, but I guess now I look less like one. One month to go!
