Why does the world of opportunities keep trying to deflect us?  I was going about the business of strength training this week and I decided to cap it off with a 36 mile ride on Saturday along the South Lake Trail that heads over to one of my favorite destinations: Lake Mineola.  That little lakeside community is very involved with community events as I’ve seen many of them as I pass by.  Well this time it was a Triathlon.  A swim in the shallow end of the lake for 800 meters started the challenge followed by a 12 mile bike ride and capped off with a 5K run.  Upon talking to some of the participants I came away with something to potentially fill one day on the calendar.  Hmmm….I already bike and swim and I just got done running over 2,500 miles….  After I stopped fantasizing and came back to reality I still had 12 miles to go to finish off over 1,400 feet of climb. My overall total distance has reached 5,280 miles…that’s miles not feet!
