Can I really do this?

Day 9
ibuprofen: none so far, though I'm spending a lot of time thinking about it...

Wow...today, I got up at 0500 to ride my bike for 45 minutes and walk for 15. I am so tired I can barely sort of function, and I got positively crabby with some of my students today. I am starting to wonder if I really have whatever it takes to do an event like this. I have some doubts. I am going to really try to hang in there. Tomorrow is a rest day, so maybe I'll feel better once I've had a chance to get a full night's sleep and relax a little.

I don't want to give up. I've given up on so many things in this life. I want to hang in there.

You have what it takes to do this! I've seen your dedication and your progress and I am absolutely sure you can accomplish this. Triathlon training is tough, but it's worth it when you cross the finish line. Hang in there...tomorrow is a well-deserved rest day. I look forward to seeing you on the bike trail on Saturday morning :-)

Interesting blog, and fairly well written, but a personal blog like this needs a bit more drama, tho you do have some.

Maybe more about the emotional motivation, relating even to younger years.

Certainly some photos, color would help a lot.


good luck
