A New Chapter and a New Name

Today marks the first day of ironman training. It is starting out kind of anticlimactically by being a rest day with just some light yoga this evening. It was a good this it did since I slept a total of 8 hours for both Friday and Saturday night, so I have some sleep catch up to do. We saw the sun go down in Oregon and the sun come up in Wyoming.

I started off well by banking 11 hours of sleep last night but still feel a bit tired today.

While driving from Oregon to Colorado this weekend I was thinking about the name of this blog. I chose this name way back when I started this blog and didn’t really like it but it was the best I could come up with at the time. Also this blog has changed over time, at first it was mostly about me making my training plans for triathlons but now I talk about all things in my life. Like how I am passionate about conservation and the work I do:

I talk about my family (including my dogs): I like to talk about eating healthy and having a balanced healthy life, or at least I would like to talk about that stuff more often.

So I decided to change up the name of this blog to one that I like better and I think will better reflect what I talk about here. Don’t worry if you are here just here to read about triathlon, I will still be talking about all things triathlon and specifically ironman nonstop. So Tri-Girl Training Plan will be retired and replaced with Chasing My Joy. I will eventually change my URL to reflect the new name when I have time to figure out how to move all my content etc. Maybe over the holidays when I have some time off work.

So there it is, a new chapter of my life starts and the blog gets an new name, it’s a good day.

Why and how did you choose your blogs name?

P.S.- thanks to all who commented about the start of ironman training, I love and appreciate all the support, you guys are the best!
