New Year, New Goals
2022… Welp here we go.
Signed up for Leadville 100, Bear 100 Waitlist, The Grand Traverse Ski Mountaineering Race. No coach. No plan. Can I do it?
Currently, Brenden is making fun of me for starting a journal… “Day 3: In the Mountains” fluttering hands and eyelashes as he mocks me. It’s better than trying to be an influencer, just doing this for me. I think it will be fun to look back and reflect on when I do make the time to write down life’s happenings.
Here’s to trying new things -
First, I’m actually relatively scared intimidated, and a bit overwhelmed. Trying to determine where to start really.
The Grand Traverse: We went through the gear list together and luckily I don’t have too many more things to get, but still trying to wrap my head around now and where I’m going to gain the knowledge and skill in time.
Second, I know I should be having the same thought about the prospect of a big running race on the calendar as I am about trying skimo (Ski Mountaineering), but I think I’m numb.Throughout the last 2 years of COVID, races cancelled and training just not the same. Trying new coaching styles. Not being motivated to being constantly disappointed. False hope of Run Rabbit Run 100 happening, and canceled at the last minute… after a big effort training block was mentally draining. Now coming off of lows of last year, I guess I should start some kind of training again. Balto would sure like that too.
Third, I’m frustrated at and with work. Feel as if I’ve lost the spark and need to recharge the creative outlook. So, hence, or resulting in me trying this journaling thing out. I have some logos that are way past due for friends and passion projects I wanted to start, but can’t seem to finish anything feeling fullfilled. Maybe picking up exercising and getting back on a training routine will help.
Anywho, anyway, anywhere… my rant is over for the night, till next time.
