No, crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts. Instead they go out and find more nutty things to do.
Last post I told you about the mile swim and the marathon plans I'm thinking about. This morning, hubby floated the idea of me doing another century (Heart of VA) this fall - which I immediately jumped on (subject to our daughters' sports schedules). I'm starting to put "price bump" reminders in our calendar so I don't have to spend an extra $10 to sign up for my crazy. I mean, if you're going to be nuts, you might as well be frugal about it, right?
And then there's that whole thing about WTC announcing the new Ironman is in Chattanooga, Tennessee - totally driveable. Not thinking 2014, but boy is it tempting to think about doing it in the next couple years with hubby. I never realized how nuts I was getting, probably because I haven't sat around wondering if I'm nuts.
But there are always people who put things in perspective for you. I was talking to a new coworker of mine this week. I've been dressing casual (and I don't mean business casual - think jean shorts, tri Ts, and baseball caps) at work this summer and was wearing an old shirt from a local tri. The woman mentioned that her sister has done that race (it's an OW sprint - Tavern - that I did earlier this summer) but that she has only done a pool-swim tri and that's good for her. We talked about that race a little, since I had done it last year, and then I happened to mention that I was training for the HIM. And she told me I was insane. In a nice way, but still...the message was clear. :)
I'm surprised she didn't catch onto the insanity earlier, given that this is proudly displayed in my office:
