2020...time slippin away

Shat! How did March 2020 happen already.

2019 Arizona Ironman? Check

Injury 3 weeks before and wasn't sure if it was going to happen.  I tore every muscle (in multiple places) in my right quad. I saw a doctor and ultimately had a soft tissue chiropractor look at it and do some wicked crazy releases to get me back on track.

Fortunately, I was able to race and finish under 12 Hours.  I really should take the time to write down my experience with this in more detail...

Hernia surgery...Jan 27th, took me 2-3 weeks to feel somewhat normal.  Surprised that I felt as much pain as I did.  Finally back to work and this next week I'll go 100% on training for St. George Ironman.  Only 9 weeks to train and if I would compare to where I was at the height of IMAZ training, I'm probably 45-50% ready.

I have some good workouts in, but no swimming and haven't really the endurance to get anything more than 90 min on any one leg of the race.

Starting to look at investing...

I still have some debt I really need to pay off, but at the same time I've saved $10K and would like to see what I can do to leverage that into more?  The save, no risk, no reward method would be to just apply that to debt and move on.

I'm considering doing some day trading, but it's high risk, high reward.  I could double that in a few weeks/months, but I could also loose it just as fast.

Castle & Roman are growing fast; physically, academically, emotionally, etc.

Castle is going full girl on me while Roman is a rollercoaster of a macho man.

Last month we hiked Camelback Mountain...so proud of them.  They did get tired, but never complained.  Few talks about turning around, but ultimately they choose to summit.  I wish I would have taken pictures.

I have placed my faith at front of the classroom right now.  Questioning my involvement in church.  When I say it out loud, I tell myself to stay grounded, but when I look at short-term, long-term, and issues I have...it's not what I "want" to do as a single person.  Totally different if I had a family...specifically a wife and kids in the house.  I know it should not matter, but when there are moving parts in my life, I need to be fulfilled and there is almost zero fulfillment going to church that is so family centered as a single...aging...guy.

I like to visit my family, travel, train for my races, work, and other forms of relaxing entertainment.

So much to update...
