don't know what I want to do

Been a bad blogger.
Been a bad trathlete.
Been a bad runner.
I have not been doing much of anything athletic wise. I sort of feel I have so many options but I can't decide what to do. So I do nothing! BOO!
Here they are:
1. I AM still registered for Stony Plain in July. Everytime I think about this event, I want to throw up in my mouth. The thought of training for this bitch makes my stomach turn. AND I have not been on my bike since August...nope...not even on the trainer...so come spring, it is just going to be a whole lot of work to get anywhere near fit to do that race properly. Boo for me!!
2. There is a couple on the hockey team signed up for the half marathon in May. Hmmmm. I ran 11km today and thought my heart was going to beat out onto the sidewalk and my legs felt like hell and it was f-cking cold and I kept thinking....I actually do not have to do this. I am not enjoying this. Then why in the hell am I doing it? I looked at my watch thinking FOR SURE I had ran AT LEAST 8km....it was 5...BUT I just kept putting one foot in front of the other and kept moving forward and had to criss-cross through our neighborhood to keep out of the wind to get home and in the end it was 11km!! so that was a good thing?
3. Someone who shall remain nameless put an idea in my head that I cannot get rid of. The Master's World Swim Championships!! OMG. How FUN would that be? I will tell you since they are in Italy...divertimento!! (I googled fun in italian...I probably just let you all know how un-travelled I am...)
4. Another marathon. I can do a better job at a marathon, I just know it. Maybe a fall marathon?
5. Some shorter, faster, more intense triathlons. You know...those you puke at the finish line!
6. Roller Derby! I shit you not. A client is really involved... i can skate...sort of...they give lessons...they need girls...lots of make-up and fun clothes!!
Anyway, there you have it. Some decisions to be made. I have volunteered to help out at the Just Tri It Women's Only triathlon this year. Get this...I said I would help on the BIKE!! Yeah. I put my name down to be the rounder upper of the bike group...so I round up the stragglers and make sure everyone is okay at the back of the pack!! How fun! At least that's how I understand the role....good times...

I vote for roller derby. It's completely different, and I could totally see you being one mean tough chick. I mean that as a compliment. hee hee Do et!! You can still do one more more of the other things. We need roller derby pictures on here too..... or it didn't happen. :)

Roller Derby is so fun. But you have to come up with a funky nickname for yourself, so you should probably start thinking of one now.

You had me fooled with your Italian, I thought, "wow, impressive!"
