I also realize that I’m pretty small time in the running and
triathlon world. I’m satisfied with my progress over the past year but I’m
hungry for more. I need to be better, faster, stronger. After my short “off
season” that is J.
I am not mad that my workouts this
week include skiing, yoga and drinking big girl hot chocolates. Oh… &
waking up to this the next few days:
Sorry, that was rude. It’s been almost a year since I’ve had an
off-season & I’m really enjoying (& appreciating!) my time off
Anyways, this
Monday, I will be attempting to sign up for Ironman Arizona 2014 (it’s not
official until its official), which means that starting January I will be
throwing the training hammer down for most of 2014. I know it’s a bit overly
optimistic to race a full Ironman since I haven’t been in the sport for that
long, but for me it’s a natural progression for what I’ve been putting in the
books the last few years. I’m not trying
to go to Kona… just to cross the finish line & hear Mike
Reilly call me an Ironman.
I’m extremely grateful for the coaching training I’ve
received this past year, for all the support , not having any injuries and I’m
very much looking forward to another year of improving, fine-tuning &
hopefully a few more PR’s! I’m not looking forward to dark cold mornings at the
pool… but you gotta take the good with the bad.
Once you drink the kool-aid, it’s hard to stop… but I’ll
take a small break to stop & smell the almond croissants.
You're really working remotely today, I can tell.
