Love the Life you Live, Live the Life you Love

Basically my to-do list for the end of the year is a monumental fail. So I went to the aquarium, awesome Kate. Good work. I haven't even made it to the Esplanade yet. Good to know I'm keeping myself on track for my goals that don't include training and school. So what do I do when I can't cross out stuff on my to-do list? I make a new one!!! This one is dedicated to summer -Cycle at least 120 every week -Learn a route other than the beer route -Finally get on a regular running schedule every week that does not include massive shin splints, knee injuries, visible bruising, sprained ankles, planter's syndrome, and joint popping -Go Camping in Cape Cod -Complete at least 3 triathlons...one being an Olympic -Complete another century ride -Complete my 2/3 Ironman -Go to a New England Beach -Start another sketch book -Try to actually enjoy my math class...and maybe learn something from it -Kayak on the Charles -Go to Mnt Washington -Make Colin's life VERY entertainin...

The doctor was rather surprised yesterday after he informed me that I sprained my ankle around mile three of the run in Texas. Normally when people hear "sprain" and "crutches" a huge smile and sigh of relief doesn't pop out of no where, but then again Triathletes are considered some of the most masochistic people to walk the Earth. In all seriousness though, with pain like this I expected the worst, a stress fracture at the very least - those words literally send shivers down my spine. But, nope! All the X rays came back negative. But can I just say, I have some ATTRACTIVE looking shin bones. A sprain isn't so bad and the crutches will probably give my shin and knee time to rest so I can be back in the game for Hopkington.. "tentatively speaking." The Doc said technically I could even do without crutches, it'll just make the healing time a lot faster. So I guess I'll sacrifice being fully mobile for a bit if that means being able to run so...
