Today I went for my first brick workout OUTSIDE! I rode my bike on the highway - it felt good! A little wobbly, but good. I came home and quickly headed out for a short run, when a neighbor kid said to me " are you training?" I replied enthusiastically "I'm ALWAYS training!" She was confused, but I think it is true - I think that we always need to be training - not necessarily for a marathon, or an Ironman, but working towards a goal, with a plan, getting stronger. It's what makes us truly happy.
Well, 2013 is rolling along, it now feels like spring, and without hardly realizing what has happened . . The training season is now upon me!!
The Moonlight Run - came and went - I was not feeling very ready - - - but it's how it is.... my training and my eating has been far from ideal. . . but I ran it anyways - eek . . . time to WAKE UP - and pay the price - which I did - sigh!
A month ago, I went snowshoeing with some ladies in our community, and my mom came too - it was an absolutely beautiful day - - While driving home, I saw a friend of mine on the road, riding his bike home from Waterton - I was quite jealous. It made my re-think again what I want to accomplish this year. . . . I talked it over with my mom, and when I came home, Duane and I discussed it again, and I finally signed up for my first marathon! Well, second if you want to count Ironman - which I do, but my first ONLY marathon. . . nervous and excited...
