Wow, I am really having a hard time adjusting to life after my triathlon. I had been training and obsessing for so long about it that now that it is over, I feel completely....well, weird. It is strange to not feel like something is hanging over you like that. I honestly thought it would feel amazing to be done, but part of me is a little sad. I intend to do another triathlon in the spring, but so far I cannot find one that I can really commit to doing. I would love to keep with the Publix Family Fitness series- but they have yet to announce their 2009 schedule, so I am twiddling my thumbs until they do. I did go running today after taking a full week off from exercising and it felt great to get out and sweat again. On the plus side, I have enough house projects to keep me busy for a lifetime, so it is not like I don't have anything to do. I still have 2 more walls to paint in my living room, the garden always needs some attention, as well as the yard, the fire pit still needs the last row of stones, and the house and driveway all need to be pressure washed. Yea, I got things to do, no problem. But I have realized the importance of goal setting and how rewarding it can be to really invest yourself in a goal and literally "work" extremely hard to follow thru on it. Way more rewarding than I could have guessed.
On a completely unrelated note, I took some pictures of the kids the other day while we were at the beach at Ft. DeSoto State Park and then some fall pictures on Sunday. It is the best way to spend time for me because I get to take pictures and spend time with Cindy and Luke-two things I love to do.

Your pics are awesome!! Have you thought about taking pics for other people? I love the b&w of Luke on the bench especially! I know what you mean about goals. I have been working really hard to set goals lately (none as big as your tri, though), but I do feel a great sense of accomplishment in completion. I think it's a blessing to see ourselves grow. Have a great day!! :)--Karin
