unbalanced

i found out last week that i have a lot of weakness is my hip/butt muscles. these stabilize you when you're running up hill, or riding. so, i gotta work on that. a lot.

but now i'm finding all these unbalances...or more unstable things in my life. last week i had a talk with my boss regarding my job. he promises our group here on the west coast isn't going anywhere, but if i want to be promoted to an analyst i'll have to move to the Boston area. i can't see myself living there for very long if i were to go at all. i think the humid summer, the snowy winter and the insane accents would drive me nuts! we did talk about the job i'm currently in, so we'll see how the Comp groups takes those ideas.

10 weeks away

IM CDA is about ten weeks away. Am I ready? No. Will I be? Doubtful. I got a 2 hour ride in on Saturday- 26 miles. I wasn't riding alone or I probably would have gotten about 33-34 in that time and kept going. Yesterday I ran for about 2 hours and 13 minutes. Didn't get nearly as far as I should have- both my knees and my outer butt muscles were killing me. I'm sure the knees were just hurting from running uphill for 2.2 miles at the beginning on cold legs because they're fine today. A little lead in my legs, but should be an easy recovery for tonight's swim and bike. Or, bike and swim. Damn the rain!
