So, it's been a while...

My last post was over a year ago. Yikes. To be fair, my life has been a whirlwind of graduate school since then. But I'm through making excuses. 

Let's get to the point, shall we?

The whole "getting fit enough to ride a century on my fixed gear" thing has been going... not very well. In fact, I'm much worse off than when we last spoke. And I can't really give any acceptable reasons why. 

It's been said that change only occurs when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. 

That has happened. 

I'm sick and tired of feeling like shit. I'm sick of being self-conscious. I'm sick of whining about being lonely even though I know I'm disgusting to look at. 

I

am

sick

of

it. 

So change is going to happen; it absolutely has to. And, honestly, I can't wait.

I'll get back to you later this week with more details about how I'm going to go about doing this. 

Later days,

M.
