Home Stretch

I haven't written here in a while. I wont lie and say it's been because my training has been going so well and I haven't had time to sit down and write. It's because, I'm burnt out. I've been burnt out for quite some time of training, and I'm counting down the days until my event and can begin focusing on something new. The past 3.5 weeks have been a wake up call for me. A good friend's life has been turned upside down and it happened in a blink of an eye (literally). After my Tri, I'm going to start focusing on putting together a team of friends, who are willing to do a 5k race back in NY, CT or NJ. We will doing it in honor of my friend who has shown so much strength, resolve and dedication to making this completely unexpected life change a positive instead of a negative. So after my tri, I will be focusing on raising money and awareness for Transversemyelitis, but getting a few friends together to complete a 5k in honor of our friend, back in the NY/CT/NJ area.
My tri is in 18 days, and although my training hasn't been great, I plan on giving it my all and what happens, happens, and hopefully, there'll be at least one person behind me when I cross the finish line. =)
