Blog Season

Greg and Laura...

So now that Kona '08 is morphing into an NBC special, and the 70.3 championship is nothing more than an online donnybrook over drafting, and all the big bucks pros are heading to the other summer, aka Australia, the stateside remnant are now left with the annual winter challenge of.... finding compelling material to blog about.  

This is where months of training will separate the cream from the cow.  The pros will launch collections of high protein recipes, great Computrainer repeat workouts, photos of big name tri friends helping with interior decorating, fantastic winter runs, scoops on new coaching agreements, gear reviews on pre-release goodies, reviews of great sports movies, and photos of the new box turtles - Greg and Laura.  The unfortunate few (who are probably the most inspirational) will post progress reports as the body is coaxed back to some semblance of health.  The regulars will follow along and celebrate each bit of good news.

Then there's those of us who live "on the verge of blogging."  Ours is not a life that lobs up anything approaching daily "wow".  Ours is the more mundane, which is why we vicariously expand our horizons via others blogs, all the while dreaming of the day we'll be forced to narrow down the blog topics choices, picking only one out of our incredibly interesting day.

But there in lies the enticement.  We read other peoples blogs and hold out hope that someday, maybe even soon,... our lives will be that interesting.  And if not, we can always complain about drafting.
