'Tis a few days before Christmas,
and Tav’s on a mission
I’m wearing my shirt
that says “Lost in Transition”.
It’s been a long month,
or should I say a year,
GymSkinZ success has been great,
and I’m glad I’m still here
I have piles of my shirts
scattered all over the floor,
There’s so many dang boxes,
I can barely open my door.
This year has FLOWN by
and I’m happy to say
that the way things are going
GymSkinZ is here to stay.
Emails flood my inbox
each and every day
I’ve been trying to answer them all
somehow… someway.
Training has slipped
and I’m starting to get fat
But Ironman isn’t for 8 months,
so I’m totally OK with that.
Swimming? what’s that?
is that done in a pool?
TONS of time for that NEXT year,
you can call me a fool.
My bike is in neglected,
it’s covered in dust
I won’t take my bike outside
cuz hell, it might rust.
How about running?
should I spend time on my feet?
why the heck should I bother
when I can stay inside in the heat.
With Christmas upon us
there’s not enough time in the day
I am but only one man
so what can I say?
I’m taking this time to chill,
and look back on the year
Next year’s gonna be big,
that is unbelievably clear.
Between work, between life
between travel and training,
to the mere mortal
most would consider it draining.
Yes, it IS NUTTY!
But I’m sticking it out.
I’m not gonna whine
I’m not gonna pout
There’s more shirt designs on the list
they’ll be out hopefully by next week.
Although things are so busy
I barely have time to take a leak.
The reason I do this?
it’s simple - it’s FUN
Just wait for just-tri.com
it’ll be SO cool when it’s done.
So many things to do
with so little time
Like wracking my brain
to make the next damn sentence rhyme…
Anyway, it’s late and I’m tired
what’s that small spec of light?
holy gawd, it’s the sun,
I think it’s time to say nighty night.
