no grammar

if you haven't figured it out, i'm a quote guy.

i heard this quote once:
"there is no such thing as burnout,
just loss of appetite".

i also heard that over-training
leads to burnout.

i think it's all attitude.

right now, i'm a mess.
my eyelids droop, and my shoulders slump, and i want to lay down and sleep for 3 days.

i don't look at it like..."i need to slow down".
i look at it and say..."damn dude, you better harden up".

when i'm training and the pain sets in, my new mantra is "what's it going to feel like in virginia?"
it puts it all in perspective, and my head shuts up.
interesting, yea?

picked up the Coffee News the other day, saw another old quote:
"shoot for the moon,
so even if you fall short
you'll still be among stars."

i thought that was kind of funny, because
in my early triathlon days, i wanted to be a pro triathlete, just for the glamour of it.
now, here i am, rubbing elbows with some of the
world's most prominent (or should i say only) ultra distance triathletes
and if i finish, i'm all of a sudden one of them.
the best part?
we're too crazy to attract professional funding.
the sport is still super obscure.

i'm not doing this for the fame of it anyways.
frankly, i cringe when people
i didn't tell ask me about it.
pretty much the whole town knows now,
so i guess it's extra motivation to finish.
