okay, so this is what i'm aiming for. i wanna be that guy just getting into the big pool,and watching the rest of the fish swim before i make my move?...hopefully that's when i head out to sea and not back to the beach...and hopefully i don't decide to sleep in on sunday august 30th...i've got a reputation of doing that don't i kerry?the best move i've made is buying a copy of the ironman book start to finish by paul huddle and roch frey...the 24 week ironman program they've created is perfect,and do-able...nothing to to really extreme. a FEW long rides, and bunch of swims, a few good runs,and all that i should be able to do....only thing seemingly hard to fit in has been the weights...but that i think will be a blimp in the whole process. i have to get the key stuff in, and not screw with the life of a father,husband,and an employee any more then i have to. as long as i can get the key swims,runs and bike rides in,and some of the optional extras i think i'll be okay...also as long as i can keep my head in check too....just hope a strike or a lock out is in the cards at cnr for this year.
today was a bit of a waste though, and so were a few of the days leading up to today. i thought i just didn't have my priorities in check.but since monday i've put in 2 good runs, spun the bike on tuesday and wednesday, swam monday really well, actually the best yet, and that's gonna be my key for the rest of this story. the biggest key though will be my fridays,saturdays and sundays. i know the rest of the week is always going to be an issue. especially once spring break and summer vacation kicks in. it's gonna have to be train when i can, whenever i can....but i've just gotta keep training....and training and training. and as long as i swim fridays,bike saturdays and run on sundays,i'll live,have fun,and be ready to race..
i've also have to sleep and eat. and eat well. i know i've gotta stuff in the calories, but i've got to start to lean towards good calories, and less of the crap...i'm not sure if almond butter is crap,but that has been added to the diet now. and i've gotta sleep.i am thinking more sleeping pills,but don't really want to, sleep and rest is gonna be a key. like 2nite, i was supposed to swim, but with no sleep last night, that had to be dropped. i ran this morning, a good solid 10k, and that felt good and quick, and i felt strong.......
anyway, we're something like 28 weeks away from penticton, it doesn't seem that far away does it?...and the goal, something other then a dns..
