Dude, every time I get one step closer, I get knocked back down. I hate to sound like a whiny-ass titty baby (WATB - for future reference) BUT, it just pisses me off.
I had this great training schedule planned for the 4th of July weekend. I was going to start out with a nice long bike ride on Saturday, then have a big, long swim on Sunday, followed by the usual 4th hoopla & then another ride on Monday. This would set me up for the four weeks out from my Aquabike. I had this all planned out and I was feeling good . . . until 2 a.m. on Saturday morning!!
That's when I was struck with a nasty stomach bug. I thought I was dreaming that I had a horrible stomach ache & had to puke - when in actuality, I DID have a horrible stomach ache & I DID puke!!
Oh my goodness, was I in pain. Then a few hours later . . . came the other end. You know what I'm talking about. And NO, I am not sorry about the visual!!!
Needless to say, all my training plans flew out the window (with the exception of an hour-and-a-half on the bike trainer with Vit that we did Monday).
I was sad that I had to miss a 75-mile ride with G-Money & Wriggle Worm on Sat morning. :-(
Whatever this viral bug was/is . . . it really kicked my ass - hahahaha - seriously.
Ya know, I know that some people have a lot of other crap (hahahaha again) that they go thru in their training & I wonder if they feel the same way? I don't feel sorry for myself, but it does get me down a bit. Because the progress is there, then I feel like a roll backward.
Just frustrating. But, gotta keep pushing forward & keep looking at my goal - yeah, I say it A LOT . . . and I will keep saying it. For myself, mostly.
Thanks for listening & reading. Time for me to trot along now (that's for you, Vit).
Much Peace & Love,
TracerX

It just popped in my head!!!! I needed a "nom de plume" for you. And , because you are such a very serious guy - all business...BUT really you're probably a silly goofy guy at home. You probably roll around on the ground with your kids like a worm....and your last name ....well, it just worked for me!!! It's all love, baby!!
