I see a triathlon team in my future

I'm much more obsessed with the whole triathlon thing this year than I was at this point a year ago. Work has blocked the stupid villages game so I've been forced to read blogs and NYTimes for distraction during simulation runs. All the blog reading, plus some talking with my favorite exercise instructor lead me to RSVP for an information session about a real training group, so I'm going to go learn more about them tomorrow afternoon.  I'm particularly curious about the fees, because it seems like this group is providing a lot more support than other local clubs, which is cool and all, but probably means they would want more than $35 a year. 

Last night was a jog with some coworkers who are doing the 10 miler later this year. It was exciting to happily keep up with the slow group. We did 4:1 jog/walk with a long walk break between the 1st and second mile and I loved how good it felt. Not like I could actually breathe steadily enough to say long sentences, but I did wheeze multiple words in a row sometimes. After all these years of trying jogging and giving up and trying, it actually is getting better! Crazy!

I've ordered my road bike and am excited to pick it up tomorrow. I have to make sure that I don't get 20-miles-worth of excited the first time I head out because I'm doing the GW Parkway 5K on Sunday, and that will be less fun to try hard at if my legs are jello.

I'm also looking forward to trying to eat all the kale that will be starting in about a month. I've signed up for my farm again.  It turns out they do a group delivery to the building next door to where I work for a $100 discount off of the normal door-to-door delivery price, so I'll have to lug my veggies home and up my own stairs once a week,  but I think the +$100 is worth it.

Basically there is lots of excited feelings out here right now. I'm sure that it is intricately related to the fact that Spring Is Here!! It's been beautiful outside, it's finally not dark so early at night, and it's not humid yet! YAY Spring!

(Is it worth suffering the coldest winter of my life to feel this excited? Actually, maybe it was)
