Adventures of the Northwest

Welcome to Molly's Burntoutland - how may I help you?!

Welcome to my Burntoutland. We have fun here! There are tons of things to do with so little motivation and energy to do it. We deprive you of sleep by making you stay up until midnight, wake you up around 5:30 am, 6 am, oh wait! last night we changed that for giggles and did 3-4 am. We did let you sleep 'til 7 am though so aren't we nice? We zap the energy out of you and make you tired as all get out. You may feel you have the physical endurance with your muscles but your upper body will feel very lethargic, very heavy, your breathing will become fast and heavy, your heart rate will not recover quickly, your lungs will feel as if they will implode and your upper body will completely feel tired. Don't forget, we know you aren't working out as hard as you used to so cutting back calories is a must. You're body will need to adjust to your 'winter' setting again. Zapping you of all energy will build your character to be stronger and better in the end.

You will not race. A warm-up is all we will allow and then you'll feel completely like a weenie. You'll feel like you let yourself and others down. You'll feel like - what's wrong with me? Why am I not pushing myself harder, challenging myself, not backing down and giving it all you can? The answer: Cuz you are just completely beyond yourself with exhaustion mentally and physically.

So once we strip you of all your worth we will build you up again. We aren't cruel enough to just let you lay by the wayside. No, no... this is where you will go out for fun! FUN!!! Fun I say!!! So now you are off to go shopping and then go roller skating. You will enjoy the gym tomorrow and then relax, have fun, go to a movie and then go watch the races! :) YEAH! Saturday - not sure what is up yet but you are going to go have fun followed by dinner with college buds. Sunday you will support a friend in the Danskin triathalon, relax, have fun and then go watch the "Sprints to Nowhere". This should be very relaxing for you. You should have fun and be ready to come out like a frickin' maniacal bull - seeing red - and ready to tear off people's heads for the next two races! YEAH! You will be driven, you will be rejuvenated and you will have fun! You'll end the season feeling like yeah - I was burnt out, yeah I needed to take time off but I did it and next year will only get better.

Soon you'll just enjoy life. Go have fun, get to do a pedicure, manicure, go to a bachelorette party, be in a wedding, do some recreational rides, do other fun things and settle in for the winter. Work with your new coach, Kenny Williams, when he returns from Europe and he will light the firecracker under your rear and get you stoking again! HECK YEAH! You're into it! You're feeling the drive, the inspiration, the motivation... it's just gone for this season but it will be back 10x stronger for next season! Then you'll be in happy land again! :)

Thank you for stopping at Molly's Burnoutland. We appreciate your participation. Please do not forget your belongings as you exit to the right, stand tall, feel proud and know that you can ride this roller coaster again - just don't throw up next time.
