As much as I love my training, it is sometimes hard to put everything else aside for the time being. I need a balance in my life. I'm not sure that throwing myself into the triathlon is the right answer and I don't want to stop doing other things that are important to me because of the training. When I lived in DC I was much more active in the community than I am here. I also had much more time on my hands. I miss being involved with things outside of the office- this is the price you pay, I guess for having a job that is all-consuming. So tonight instead of going to swim practice I headed to the Waldorf Astoria to volunteer for the InMotion Photography Auction. InMotion is a fabulous organization that provides "justice for all women." If I had gone to law school as planned, I'd want to do pro-bono for this group. But alas I work in photography - not law, so I volunteer with admiration for the lawyers who are able to help. Incredible photography was auctioned off- I hope to see the Erwitt hanging in someone's apartment pretty soon-- hint, hint.
My body needed a rest- I have a sharp shooting pain on the side of my right knee. I don't doubt it will go away- but a night off was ok- I just hope I didn't miss anything major at swimming - like a new way to kick. It's such a hike to get to the pool and back- but I look forward to it every week.
Some new gear I ordered from REI arrived today. Love the blue bike shorts but I'm totally intimidated by my bike pump- as if I've never pumped a tire before- but it seems scary now!
