I got really burnt out on racing last year and decided to just do the ones I really, really wanted to do this season and have enjoyed it a lot more. I think if I kept it up at the rate I did last year I would be so burnt out. And all the supportive bloggers help so much too!! I don't think I would've ever had the guts to run a marathon or even think about maybe getting into tris one day if it wasn't for the great bloggers.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904635948454938056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-1158743017140583522006-09-20T04:03:00.000-05:002006-09-20T04:03:00.000-05:00Congratulations on the mindset adjustment!

Although my friend Michele does more than I do and she seems to be fine. I think she deals with the stress better than I do. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and sometimes I forget to enjoy it!!Afternoon Tea With Orangeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110512429191665007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-1158674503848538372006-09-19T09:01:00.000-05:002006-09-19T09:01:00.000-05:00I really enjoy reading your blog--so many of us wh...I really enjoy reading your blog--so many of us who do tris, etc do have that burning desire to race, to train, to acheive. Then it's hard for our brains to stop. I'm glad you've got it worked out in your head--the only insight I can offer is that you do A LOT of races--fun, yes, but stressful and draining, (my opinion only of course)--I did 5 tris this summer and I feel like I did 2 too many. The steady training, the building, etc, sounds good to me too. Just being an active person and enjoying all that life gives. Good luck, I will keep reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-1158670249379695762006-09-19T07:50:00.000-05:002006-09-19T07:50:00.000-05:00Awesome!Rice.Awesome!<BR/><BR/>Rice.Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683643051357184033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19820661.post-1158668430502769012006-09-19T07:20:00.000-05:002006-09-19T07:20:00.000-05:00One of the things I love about running it that it ...One of the things I love about running it that it give me time to think, to be just with me.
