New things...new experiences...a new year...same me!

Well Happy New Year y'all!

With it being the first full week of the New Year, I decided to get a post up and going. It's always interesting watching how crowded the gym gets during this time of year. New members are anxious and current members are upset due to how crowded it is. People talk about diets and turning over a new leaf, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's the way things are until things settle.

2014 proved to be a lot of ups and downs for me, but it made me the person I am right now. Last year saw me as a newly minted USAT Level 1 and USATF Level 1 Coach; racing ITU Chicago (the coolest bike course ever, considering I hate, no dislike the bike); made a lot of new friends. But it also put me face to face with some serious obstacles that left me training more than being swallowed up by the various stresses that I was dealing with.

Some of those obstacles are still around right now, but you know what? I don't really care. It's 2015. It's time to embrace some new things, new experiences all with me being the same me. So, the only thing that I will say is that I am doing IM Cozumel. I decided that I am going to have fun, treat myself and actually do a mini vacation. I deserve it. Everything else, well you will have to wait and see.

Until next time...
