Quick blog today - which pretty much says it all. How do you fit it all in?
I had a great training weekend - thanks to Doug and Liz for hosting us for our 2.4 mile swim in the West River and the beautiful 50 mile bike through the rolling hills of Maryland. What a great day. Of course it rained cats and dogs on Sunday - had to put off my long run until the afternoon because of Mother's Day (can't be out running while the Moms sit at home alone!) so I ended up getting 90 minutes in on the treadmill at Gold's.
After a quick swim at lunch on Monday and an early run today I'm starting to worry again about getting it all in. There is so much to do, so many miles to log, so many drills to do and intervals to complete - yet there is so little time left. My Ironman is June 21 - which feels like just around the corner. How can I get it all in?!!
I guess the key is to just stay on schedule - keep plugging along, keep doing the plan - but not to let stress about total miles and hours get to you. We do this for the joy of it and that's what I have to remember. I can do it, I've been training, I've done the plan...I can do the race.
That is the same for everyone. Enjoy the ride, the process, the journey. The race is the icing on the cake. If it becomes work, its not going to be fun anymore.
So with that I head off to work satisfied with my morning run in the beautiful sunshine and looking forward to tomorrow's workout - whatever it is!
