moving on...

barkley went poorly.

i've been through a few different versions in my mind of what went wrong.
heat causing stomach issues?
wrong mental make up?
weak mind?
but the more i think about it, the less i am certain of what i should have done differently.
maybe it was just a really "off" day?

no matter the reason, it's a huge bummer.

i've been floundering, with no real purpose to exercising since then.

i've got a few ideas for how to build back the fitness/determination/positive outlook, but i haven't really zeroed in and decided anything.

i guess it's going to be like this for a while, while the disappointment works its way out of my system.

lucky me, everything else in my life is pretty much perfect (an understatement), so in general i'm great!

hopefully i'll have some cool outdoor adventures before too long, and have something neat to share.
