B Day spin

So as a gift to myself, I decided to really crush myself in training today. I even had to break out the "My Chemical Romance" track list. Usually I try not to put the music too loud in the morning, but as it is my special day I blasted it as loud as possible. Good thing I have a rib cage cause I seriously think my heart would have ripped through the skin of my chest wall today.
I know I always say that I train hard and that I wanted to throw up and even my elbows had Lactic acid in them. But today was pretty special. Ken told me yestaerday"...every minute, every second, every watt counts...that's what seperates the good from the great". So I thought about that today before I crushed myself into a high cadence oblivion. I used the noise to drown the pain and it worked better than a bottle of JD.

So as I was recovering from my tortous session, I found some rather down beat music for my cool down. I stumbled upon Jack Johnson's new album and track #3 "Angel". While I was listening to this song something occured to me. I don't really understand why it happened, but it did. I listened to each word, to find that it was if he wrote this song for me. I feel like I could have written this song. Because it is what Natasha is to me...my angel.

Because of her I am who I am today. Without her this journey, our journey, would not be the same. We share our dreams and we are there to push each other towards achieving them. Some people use New Years to think about the changes they will make or take stock of what is important to them, well we were kind of busy so I guess my thinking was done in the last few minutes of my spin today. Anyways I'm not sure what point I am trying to make and I'm not even trying to be funny today, I just want everyone to know that she is my inspiration and I am lucky to be marrying her. Thank you for everything you do.
