A "Sometimes" day

I know I have "sometimes" days... What is a "sometimes" day?

Sometimes they just don't work, my legs I mean
Sometimes I don't feel like going to gym
Sometimes I don't feel like going swimming when it's freezing cold and raining
Sometimes I can walk 5km, sometimes I can hardly walk 4steps
Sometimes I can cycle easily for an hour,sometimes 10 minutes feels like an hour
Sometimes I feel I can conquer the world, sometimes the world tries to conquer me
Sometimes everything goes as planned, sometimes the plan just doesn't work
Sometimes the scripture "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is my only power for those sometimes days.
Sometimes I wonder what have I got myself into in trying to do a triathlon.
Sometimes I just want to be 'normal' with no disability...but what is "normal'

I know that I have sometimes days, you know what we all do,some maybe more then others. The thing is I am learning and realizing that in those sometimes days there is always something deep down in each of us that can "ALLTHE TIME" take the "SOMETIMES" and continue on.
And trust me its not in my strength but in Gods strength because when I am weak He is strong!

Just over a month and a half till my race day........

The short story of my trike...



I have it; it’s being fixed (hopefully for free, still waiting to hear from the bike shop) and soon will be my new set of wheels!

It is light, it is a nice piece of equipment, it won’t be yellow for long, changing colour, and soon there should be a pick of me on it riding! J

I sat in my car on Saturday night, waiting to pick it up and so many thoughts ran through my mind. Finally driving home with it on the back of my car, I kept looking in the rear view mirror, reminding myself that this trike is one little miracle and it’s on the back of my car. A week ago it was nearly out of my reach and but now it’s in my hands, well in the bike shops hands but kind of same thing.

"Follow your dream...take one step at a time and don't settle for less, just continue to climb. Follow your dream...if you stumble, don't stop and lose sight of your goal, press on to the top...For only on top can we see the whole view, can we see what we've done and what we can do, can we then have the vision to seek something new...Press on, and follow your dream."
