October 2012

Today I started working on an idea I came up with for a tattoo involving one of my favorite animals: the Hawaiian green sea turtle. I don't know if I will ever get a tattoo, but I like the idea of a photo realistic one. I also don't have a clue how to design a tattoo. My husband is not too keen on the idea that I came up with in today's drawing - he likes another idea I came up with from art history: an image from a painting by Paul Klee (I will work on that one next - maybe not tomorrow, but next). Anyway, this idea is sort-of designed to go on my right shoulder.

The Kona fallout is in full swing. The crying. The insomnia. The questions. The search for answers. The kicking myself. The hating myself. The wondering about the future. The doubts. The fear of getting back into training just to fail again.

Saturday morning while running, I had one of the most bizarre and scary experiences ever. It's one of those moments that you never expect to happen, but often wonder how you will react if it ever does.
