JJ: Dear Blog
Dear Blog:
We need to talk, I know. I guess I have been avoiding this discussion. I don’t know, maybe I just needed some time apart to sort things out. Maybe we’re just heading in different directions.
I just got so busy…..training, work, training, work, training, laundry, eat, sleep, repeat. There was never a good time to talk and I don’t actually have a good reason for avoiding you.
Well, I guess, I have been seeing someone, or, well not really someone, but…oh, here goes….You know Paula Newby-Fraser? Yeah, the 8-time Ironman champion or whatever. Well, no, I’m not seeing her. She’s like 45 and married, I think. But I’ve been using her advanced triathlon training program and I have developed feelings for it. I am sticking with it, at least 3 weeks more, and then I’ll reassess things. I’m committed.
OK, I know, I’ve also been spending time with the guys too, but we are usually riding, not out drinking, I swear.
One more thing. Instead of posting to you at the end of my days, I’ve been seeing something else; The Contender. It’s the best reality TV because these are real guys trying to make their athletic and life dreams come true, not competing in some made up obstacle course, eating bugs, or arguing about who hasn’t done the dishes. I mean, I’m crying with these guys, right into the locker room after they’ve lost their boxing matches. It gives me something I haven’t been getting from you; real human emotion. Sorry. I think the series is over now. A guy nicknamed the Latin Snake won – man, it was cool.
So maybe we can try again? See if the magic is still there between us? What do you say? Friends? If not, I guess we'll always have Penticton.
