We don't drown because we fall in water... we drown because we don't get out.

-Chinese Proverb

I rec'd this in an email from someone:

"What is it that you really want? Really think about this because this commitment must be complete and without waiver."

I cannot tell you the rush of emotion that went through me, nor why it did.

The ride last night helped and it pushed me down to nearly 3 off this week. I know that the majority of it was due to water.

I tried something a bit different and stopped at home and ate a little before putting on the clown outfit. It seemed to help a bit.... except for feeling chunks nearly erupting at the top of one climb.

Also refrained from any of the snacks that were out post-ride. I did thoroughly enjoy 2 Molson Canadians though. Maybe it was a good compromise.

I am finding myself very much in the midst of a bad catch 22. Has me very down and I'm really struggling to get past it.
