Freaking Out II

I'm not as freaked out today, as I was last week about the licensing exam.

It's doable. I just learned some of the friends that passed -- and if they passed, then I sure as hell can pass. Odds are 2:1, essentially, in favor of me passing. Just have to be organized and learn tons of material and go in with my head on straight. I can make it work. It's a nice feeling -- I've sure as hell been through worse.

PROGRESS

Progress has been slow recently - due to numerous other commitments. Still trying to manage life with a GF who works out 2-3 times per week, against my standard of trying to get more like 6-10 workouts in per week. It's hard going at times.

She likes to eat out, though we've mellowed at that a bit. Today we went to a nice deli near her place -- my solution to high calorie food: split things. Order a full salad and a hamburger -- and then eat half salad, half of hamburger (and some fries) -- but better than just ordering a hamburger. It's a nice solution to a troubling problem. . .

I started looking the other night at my potential triathlon races next year. It's exciting if I can pass the exam -- then money isn't such a huge issue (well, I do have lots of debt) -- but at least I'll have some cash flow. . .

Though I thought I wouldn't want to do any more xterra's. . . I think I'm down for 1-2 next year. M also wants to do some running -- at least she thinks she does -- so I'll probably do a 5k or 10k with her in December. . .
