"Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible." -- St. Francis of Assisi
I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I love it because we get the first glimpses of spring which provide a massive amount of optimism for what’s around the corner. I hate it because I can never get myself to accept that we’re still 3 full months away from rounding the corner, where we are rewarded with nice weather on a consistent basis.
So I continue to focus on what is possible, which is remaining indoors. It is unfortunate that riding outdoors now seems like an impossible, or at least a highly improbable. I’m not sure if it’s a result of not being open minded enought or just downright impatience, but I’m really dying to get outside.
I did my 3rd 1,000 TT today in the pool and broke the 14 minute barrier for the first time, although only by a single second. Although I am spending a fair amount more time on my swimming, I still seem to stink just the same. When do we get to the impossible part again? :)
