I don’t know what I was thinking when I said “If Nick can do it, so can I.” He’s just a freakin’ kid. I’ve got 10 years on him. And suddenly, after 41 years of nonathletic activity I commit to doing a triathlon. I’m out of my fucking mind. I had a good month of solid and progress but the last few weeks have revealed a body not prepared for constant challenge. The pain in my left calf surfaced yet again today and ended my run for the most part. And my lungs again feel like those of small woodland creature. Can I complain a little more? Yes. Yes, I can. And I will. Stay tuned.
