So, obviously I haven’t been posting. The truth is, I’ve not been as focused this year. I’m having a hard enough time right now just balancing work with my personal life and getting in minimal training. This was not my summer of triathlon. I’m still struggling to get back on the Weight Watcher’s bandwagon. But things aren’t bad either: I do still really like my job. My husband takes good, good care of me when I work too much. And the puppies are great.
More than that, I have actually taken the time to give back and volunteer. After many years of considering but never really doing anything about it, I finally hit the submit button and committed to be a mentor for Bolder Options, a non-profit organization in the Twin Cities that targets at-risk youth with adults with activity as one of the main focuses of the program.
For more info on the program, there is a great video on MSN when the Today show highlighted the great work and donated a ton of great stuff:

So, I was paired with my mentee early July and we’re almost on two months. We’re doing her first ever 5k at the end of this month and then we’re going to start biking together as well. The commitment is 2-4 hours per week for a year and I have to say my experience thus far is great. This has been way better than actually focusing on my own training this year.
In addition to that, I *am* training for Twin Cities Marathon in October. Obviously, I still have to conquer something big for myself. I’m not as small and fast as I’d like to be, but the training is going well so far. I can only hope to PR.
So, that’s where I’ve been.
