Thank you for joining me as my marvelous journey continues. I've spent the past couple years blogging on CaringBridge (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/evalynhodges ) as I dealt with cancer treatment. Now, it's time to move forward in this new forum.
I'm feeling great, starting to exercise more consistently and looking forward to coaching triathlon training this Spring. This is the 10 year anniversary of the Y-Tri training program at the NW YMCA in Austin and invite you all to join in the fun.
I take the title for my blog and the title of this journal entry from CP Cavafy's poem
"Ithaka" because it reminds me to relish every moment and not rush or discount the steps along the way. It's the journey not the destination.
I'm not sure where the journey will take me, but I'm thrilled to venture on to new challenges. Right now, one of my challenges is stepping back to fitness. Reawakening core muscles, developing cardio endurance and strengthening a body that has been put through the wringer. Baby steps are necessary where I used to be able to leap and bound. Surprisingly enough, I'm okay with it. For now, any way!
I welcome your comments, suggestions and insights. I feel like I'm crawling back out of the rabbit hole that cancer took me down. I wonder what new landscapes await.
