This journal started as a way for my friends and family to see what I was doing as I trained for my first Ironman. Hello? My user name is "traininglog". That ought to be a hint. Nearly 5 years and nearly 5 Ironman triathlons later, I'm still writing mostly about my training. I post the occasional-to-rare protected entry that is unrelated to swim/ride/run, but not often.
It may come as a suprise to people who only know me through Live Journal, but I am a fairly well-adjusted, well-rounded balanced person. I do give you the occasional tidbit: faithful readers know that I love Mac, I lust after Dr. House, I'm self-employed, I spend a lot of time cooking (there are brownies in the oven, but they aren't for me), my son's tattoo makes me cry (not because he got a tattoo, but because he put thought into it and it makes my heart hurt), and I enjoy evenings at the Paramount. Ironman doesn't consume my every waking thought. Training doesn't rule my life. It is, however, what I'm most comfortable putting in a public journal.
I have no way of knowing who reads this journal. I only recently found out that I accidentally hurt someone's feelings with an entry. Maybe it has happened more than once, but I certainly hope not. I wish more people would comment if and when they stop by. My journal accepts anonymous (non-lj user) comments, which I haven't had a reason to regret... yet.
