a new road lies ahead..

Still no job, which can get me down once in awhile. Having no job right now however, is kind of acting like a blessing in disguise. I am able to do tons of things that I wouldn't  be able to do if I was busy in a career. For starters, I have read three books; the first two books in the Hunger Games trilogy, as well as another novel titled Defending Jacob. I am also able to travel into Boston every so often to meet Ryan for dinner.

In the fitness department I have been lacking motivation, this usually happens when I do not have something to train for. I've tossed a few ideas back and fourth and decided that in October I will complete my first ever duathlon. It will be great way to end the competitive season, and I am looking forward to it.  The format of the race is; run bike run.

Although I do not begin my twelve week training schedule until next weekend, I began riding my bike today. Early this morning my parents and I traveled to Cape Cod to ride along the Cape Cod Canal. It was a 14 mile course and took me about 50 minutes. I will be training on a regular bike hoping to build strength, but come race day I will be riding my mom's racing bike.
