Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

 

This particular Valentines Day started off with a short, but intense cycling session on the Computrainer.  My Fuji and I got some quality time in the hurt locker.  Nate has been working hard at finding the best position on the TT bike and switching crank lengths with my Rotor cranks and Q-rings to get the most optimal power in my current position.  I spent two days last week with Joe Santos from Davis Wheelworks tweaking my position.  This was not an easy task, as I did 80 miles over a 2 mile stretch of trail!  I know that 2 mile stretch very well now! The trail was very sheltered, so we thought it would be a good spot to try and get similar readings for the test.

After the bike, Nate and I headed for a run at the famous “Clay Trail” in Clermont.   It is a moderately hilly 9.75 mile loop with varying levels of soft/hard packed sand.  Although it was only an aerobic run, by the time I got to the 7 mile mark, I was feeling the hills (and the wind)!   During the run, my mind started to drift….singing Whitney Houston (“I Will Always Love You”), her music has popped up into my head lately with her recent passing and I was also thinking about Valentines Day and what it really means to me.

Right before my run workout, I spoke with my grandfather.  He is in the hospital right now and has been battling congestive heart failure.  He was diagnosed last year, shortly after my grandmother went to an assisted living center for Alzheimer’s Disease.  I don’t doubt that his recent decline in health had much to do with stress and heartache from my grandmother.  Since he was diagnosed last year, he has been doing everything he supposed to do; ride his bike, watch his salt intake, etc.  This is his first set back, but both of my grandparents will not get better, there are no cures for their diseases.  I just want them to be comfortable and happy.

My grandparents were both hardworking and dedicated people.  They showed their love for their family through their actions. This can’t be more pronounced today in my grandfather’s love for my grandmother.  He cared for her as long as his health could and when she went into an alternative home 18 months ago, he has visited her 2-3 times a day, 7days a week.  Now my grandmother can only give a smile here or there and can’t speak, but that’s all it takes to see his eyes light up and the love of their 60 years of marriage stay strong.  What a true testament of love and devotion and I am grateful to see this example from my own grandparents.

I also think about the love my parents show for each other in their 33 years of marriage.  They are visiting Nate and I at the end of the month and celebrating their anniversary.  My parents have love and respect not just for each other, but for their children and grandchildren.

Now, spending Valentines Day with my husband is not too different from many of our other days.  We work together and workout together, so we are lucky to get to spend so much quality time with each other!  He even cooks dinner for me most nights, including tonight, so I really know I am one lucky woman.  Since I am in a hard phase of training right now, we are both content to relax and hang out on the couch and after dinner take a walk down to the lake and watch the sunset.

I am looking forward to all the future Valentine Day’s Nate and I will share.  Right now in this chapter of our life my dreams of becoming the best triathlete I can be, have become both our dreams in working together.  But really, it’s not just Valentines Day where we express our love for each other.  It’s the little things we do for each other day in and day out.  I am so grateful to have wonderful examples of what love is from my grandparents and parents.  I am ready for the bumps, bruises, excitement and joys in life for us to share and grow together.  I love you Nate!
