Almost to Present Time



Fast forward, almost to present time. October 2015, four seasons of training, racing and a few injuries. Sprints, Olympics and a pair of 70.3's. 

 There is something about this sport that is like a spell that is casted and takes hold of you. For most of us, this is true. So here I am, I did it, I registered for my first 140.6 Ironman, in Maryland. Wow! The funny thing... I wasn't planning to do this big of race in 2016 but a series of signs set me on this path.

I am really excited to be doing this race and to have a few of my teammates doing it as well. This will be helpful as I get further along in the training process and need support for some of those grueling bricks that will eat my life away.

 My Coach John Pottebaum has assured me that this will not be easy but it will be well worth the journey. No doubt.

Chakra 1 - Root Location:  Base of spine .  Influence: Base of spine, legs, bones, skeletal structures, feet, rectum, immune system. Associative Color : Red Central focus:  Primal fears, survival, abandonment, physical needs and safety, nourishment, self-preservation, tribal power, lessons related to material and physical identity, loss of money, the need for logic, order and structure, the inability to ground and form boundaries.   The first chakra relates to our emotional and mental health. It is our primal instinctual connection to being alive and to

"The only thing that is constant is change."

    The intension of this blog is to share information, contemplate life and to ask questions.  I do not claim to have any answers to these questions I ask. The only answers I have are to my own personal beliefs, which can sometimes change daily based on any given experience .    I s change the initiation for chaos?  Do we seek transformation or does transformation seek us? Transitions, letting go, surrendering to what cannot be controlled. "Everything must stay the same" a mantra that we all live with inside the human condition of the ego. If you think you can escape this, look again. "Yes, I want change to happen, I understand that it needs to happen but please don't let everything turn to chaos." Again I ask, is chaos the initiation to transformation?  Change moves us from one pattern into something new. In this process a pattern must be broken for the new pattern to be created. When something breaks, fragmentation occurs. The law of natural order. This
