a new season


well this week signifies a shift in the life of the danban......training begins again! tonight, time with bri at 24 and at least an hour of an aerobic workout (running/elipse/stationary bike). tomorrow, master swim with kb in la jolla. thurs, repeat of today. friday will be a spin to see how the knee will respond on sat. flat (as much as it can be) ride up the coast to get my legs back under me. sun will be another aerobic workout. of course this all depends on how much my knee cooperates and any of the aerobic workouts can be substituted for yoga if the knee craps out on me. there my friends is the plan and you're welcome to hold me to it!

i've had enough of the complaicency and am ready to get moving again. i need to get my butt in gear for V-man since my little sis is going to come and cheer me on and i wanna do myself proud on that day once again. and honestly, i'm just tired of feeling so lazy! yes, i know i needed to keep myself stationary for a while to let my knee heel but enough is enough!! no, i won't over do it and i will listen to my knee when it tells me enough is enough. i'm just getting excited to start training for V-man again and this week starts it off.

this weekend was a weekend of another type of discovery. i'm no longer going to allow people into my life that see me as a friend of convienence. what i mean by that is that i have people in my life that seem to just find it purposeful to have me around once in a while when it serves their current needs best. i'm not saying these people behave this way malisciously or on purpose....in fact, i believe they don't even realize they treat others this way. what i've found that's interesting is that they seem to befriend each other and that works for them but i'm getting out of the tangle altogether. i'm not saying i'm going to cut anyone out of my life that i don't see or talk to on a regular basis but what i'm saying is that i'm not going to be walked over any longer by friend or family member. comes down to that age old addage.....do unto others......
