The Daily Adventures of Training for My First IRONMAN

I want my mommy.....

It is crazy what being sick can do to an individual. Over the past several months I have been doing my best to adjust into the whole “adult” lifestyle. I bought my first car, bought my first place, started my first job and just recently paid taxes for the first time- but let me tell you one of the worst things about growing up…… is getting sick! When we are younger moms and dads are there to pick up the pieces when one is not feeling well. But, when you turn into an adult there is no mom to make soup, do the laundry, or run to the store to get Kleenex when you run out.  I thought paying bills was the worst part of becoming an adult. False.  Being sick at 22….sucks.
Last week put me in a mood. I was just plain grouchy. Part of my grouchiness stemmed from being diagnosed with bronchitis and part of my grouchiness was because I could not train. But, I think that I was mostly frustrated that my routine was disrupted.  The good news is … the meds are kicking in and the routine is coming back. I am still not feeling 100% better, but well enough to get back to the office, get back to my habitual schedule, and continue to try my hand at this whole adult thing.  J
Also, check out the countdown to the left! Under 200 days until IRONMAN Wales. Exciting.
