Happenings

Sorry for the long period of silence. I've spent the last month or so moving into my apartment and getting started with xc and school.

So far things are going pretty well. I can feel that I'm fit just not racing well yet. I had a terrible race last weekend and backed off this week. I should be rested and ready to go for another good run of... running. I raced the Rose City Triathlon yesterday. It was fun and I did pretty well for how little biking and swimming I've been doing. I am still super pissed because my 47 year old XC coach beat me out for 3rd spot. He was in a later wave and got me by 11 seconds when results were calculated. I had sort of forgotten that he is an incredible athlete and got complacent with sitting in 3rd spot on the run. Oh well, hopefully that will be fuel for my competitive fire. http://results.active.com/pages/displayNonGru.jsp?orgID=216359&rsID=83742

Classes are going well. All my classes are super interesting concerning the bodies physiology and response to exercise. I love it! Definitely in the right major for me.

I'm contemplating working on a blog post inspired by the sermon I heard this morning about indulgences so check back and see if I find the time to put my pen to work for some real literary work. In the meantime I'll try to post some more frequent updates concerning how the XC season plays out.

Next up: We have a meet at ULM this saturday, September 19th.
