Chasing Joy

Image
Since I last put pen to paper, or ummm, fingers to keyboard, a lot has happened. Suffice it to say, it wasn't the best start to the year for me: lots of work stress; some family things; surgery; recovery; and the list goes on. I can't say for sure that "things have turned around" or "the rest of this year is going to be awesome." I just don't know that, that's not the way things work. But over the past 2 weeks, my mindset has started to change. I'm taking advantage of the things I can control and this summer I'm chasing joy. Let me back up a little... A few months ago, when my cast came off, I started trying to get back into the swim bike run groove, but for one reason or another, I was having trouble with it all. I was finishing workouts feeling frustrated and down on myself. And I just wasn't having fun. Looking back, I know a lot of it was related to the stress I was dealing with outside of training. Couple that with the fact tha...

Surgery and Post-Surgery Update

Image
            I haven’t been the best at updating what’s been going on with my ankle, but I partially blame that on the pain meds I’ve been on since surgery. J Speaking of which, surgery went great, well, you know, as great as surgery can go.             This post is probably going to be a bit disjointed but I just wanted to post a quick update on how the surgery went and how things have been since. My first cast, immediately after surgery             The surgery went just as they expected, which I guess is good. They had to replace two of the ligaments in my ankle, and they did so with ligaments from a tissue bank. The incision is really huge (scroll right on past the picture below if you don’t like medical kind of stuff…it’s not that bad, but better safe than sorry), but my surgeon but dissolvable stitches on the inside to help mini...

I signed up for this

Image
    Sometimes I wake up in the morning and the last thing I want to do is put on that bathing suit laying next to my bed, put on another pile of clothes, and go to the pool to get my swim done before work.  Actually that's the case most of the time on swim mornings, not just sometimes.  And on those days, I'm tempted to whine and complain about how getting up early is hard, and I'd rather sleep, my body exhausted, and I'm freakin' starving.  But here's the thing.   I signed up for this.   No one is making me do it.  If I wanted to, I could absolutely stay in my bed and take a shower in my own shower instead of at the gym.  But I don't, because I want to do this.  I signed up for this.      I think it's kind of the in vogue thing for people who sign up for endurance events to take to social media to "complain" about how hard their workout or their life is.  But I don't really get that and I don't want to be that pers...
