Limits...

Hi everyone!
I hope your summer is going great!
Mine has been wonderful in Houston thus far, teaching again has brought me back this amazing high that I missed all of last semester! It has also made my schedule overflow and my rest hours have had to go to training for the longhorn. I have reinjured my back and will be taking it cool from now on... actually I have decided that I am going to gracefully bail out of the Longhorn training with TNT. As we know sometimes my wanting to do things blinds me from being rational about actually having the time and energy do do them. My family is convinced that is me trying to over compensate from breaking my neck and not being able to participate in sports for so long... they are probably right. But right now the end of the race for me needs to be my health, my career and my dissertation- 2 chapters left!
I have also reconciled with the fact that wherever I get the job offer is where I am heading next, now I am praying extra hard for the position at A&M Corpus Christi so that at least I have the other 1/2 of the Medina family around me and it is only 3 hours from Austin! Besides being the perfect position academically, they have a tri group and even though I will not be able to do a half ironman (yet!) I can continue training for Olympics/ Sprints (like the couples- be it with Wendy or Tom). I am keeping the bachelor auction on and will just be donating the money raised for TNT to LLS- The cause still has a special place in my heart and I hope to never loose touch with the extended family I have made through it!
My page will still be up as I hope to one day do another event with TNT !

I want thank you all for your continued support in my endeavors.

lots of love,
Ana-Maria Medina
