I am training for… NOTHING!!!!!!

Ok, I guess I could say I am training for life, but I am kind of enjoying knowing I am not really training for anything.  If I want to skip spin class and go to kickboxing instead, I can! It is a really nice feeling.  I am not saying training for something isn’t nice, because it is.  The feeling of toeing the line after months of training followed by crossing the finish line and getting the pretty hardware is unexplainable. 

For the past six months or so I have my mobility has been such that I can’t really do anything.  I have been bed ridden, I have been stuck in a wheel chair, I have packed on 20+ pounds in one month alone, it is has been a really difficult.  I realize I have a long journey back to the living, and I am trying to make it as fun as possible.  I want to try new things, when I get off this detour I want to be able to look back and stand with my head held high knowing how strong I was to fight my way back. 

I am sore today after yesterday’s boxing class and today’s spin class, it fees wonderful. I know when I get back to racing I will be in better shape than I have been in the past decade.  Instead of focusing on swimming, biking and running I am focusing on me.  Focusing on getting in shape and having fun doing so. 

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.   - Unknown
