Went to REI to buy yet another case of Clif Shot Bloks (cran-razz). They are the best thing going for my metabolism and gut, so I'm sticking with what works. The checkout chickie said I must be "hard core" cuz i was buying the stuff by the case. She asked what my sport was, and I said biking. (that is my true love)

Hey, I got called "hard core"!!!!!

(much better than being called "sir") I floated high on that one for the rest of the day.

Really, I'm feeling much better now. You guys are great! Thank you for holding my hand and giving me a kick start in butt through this little crisis of faith.

I WILL do the triathlon in 2 weeks, and i WILL finish it!!
