If anyone out there cares what I'm doing to train for Ironman Coeur D'Alene, you can check out my log at http://www.workoutlog.com/log/public/ironteammatt/log.cfm.

This week has been hard realizing that I am going to lose my apartment. It's very difficult to spend an hour with your head under water or 2 hours riding your bike on a trainer in your living room and think positive thoughts while your life is crashing around you. Oh well, I've survived worse than this...I'll be fine. I realize that this has given me the perspective I need to decide that going back to school is the best option for me. I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid and there is absolutely nothing standing in my way other than my own internal thoughts. I've signed up for a full load at Santa Monica College (only $20 per credit) with the ultimate goal to be transferring to UCLA or some other 4 year school to get a BA in International Studies or something.

Anyway, I need a house and a job (or a bunch of new clients). Once I take care of those issues, training will be a breeze. In the meantime, I need to fight the voice inside telling me everything sucks, get off the bike or out of the pool, go sit on the couch and hide from the world.
