hokay, so....
I'd like to see if this entry officially breaks the livejournal record of the longest time separation between posts. I think it would probably come close.....
I've been incredibly busy beyond belief since my last entry, and a lot has happened between now and then that has changed me, but for the better. I've been blessed beyond belief to have gone through what I've gone through, even though at times it's made me really doubt myself and what I'm supposed to be doing. But I guess that's nothing unusual.
I'm not even going to try to give a full recap of the last year, but I'll point out some highlights.
-Completed my first Triathlon in October of 2006
-Did not get into a soaring IP slot because of a lack of soaring experience (too many weather delays)....but this would later turn out to be a good thing because of the time taken up by triathlon
-Over Christmas break, completed my longest workout to date (6+ hours long....ride followed by a run)
-Finished my 7 classes that semester....it actually raised my GPA up to almost a 3.5
-Started second semester with a marathon in January.....finished in 3:41
-Completed my second triathlon over spring break....didn't do well because of knee injury I've been dealing with all semester
-Asked a girl out, got shot down
-Finished my longest bike ride up to that point just before spring break.....95 miles in Colorado terrain...it was a great feeling to get off that bike, and the boys below thanked me.
-Asked the same girl out again, got shot down again, realized the pattern that was emerging
-Completed IRONMAN Arizona in 14 hours, 13 minutes......not a great finish, but not bad for being injured (knee problems persisted)
-Graduation 2007......best friend from Academy graduated....the whole week was the toughest week in my life
I just got back from vacation in Florida and bought my own car......got a great deal on a new Civic '07 LX because the sales manager's daughter is in the class of 2011 (they're in basic training right now......the same basic training I'm working right now.....). I've been very busy, but things are turning out for the better. Maybe I'll update a little sooner next time..........
