I know, maybe too much information in that title, but its true! I took a long weekend and it was fantastic to be able to train and rest all at the same time. Today, different story, but only because, well, cramps! I was balled up on my couch for most of the day, off for a much needed massage and then back to being balled up on the couch :) I did make some delicious roasted almonds tonight though! Raw/organic almonds tossed in MCT oil, a bit of local/raw honey and raw/organic cocoa. Yummy!!!
I'm still off tomorrow so its long swim, short bike, long run, find wetsuit day! Should be fun!!
The closer I get to Ironman the more panic attacks I have. Funny though, I'm having more panic attacks about the half ironman in July (three weeks away) then I am for Ironman. I do need to start running long again. I've been lazy, doing the Grind in place of my runs. I need to get back into running. There are times I want to just totally quit all of the training and then I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhsDOiDEXzc I can't help but tear up (cry a lot) every time I watch this video. So moving and impressive. I want to go to Kona one year to watch, but I want to watch the last four hours of people coming across. What's really moving? When the oldest man in the race comes across the finish line and he looks as fresh as if he just did a 5km run!!!! Amazing what the body can do when you train year after year.
