It is hard to believe but both the winter bike and swim classes have ended. The spring bike classes started this week and swim starts next week. A tradition Coach Paul started in the last swim class of each session is we get to ride the slide. This was another first with Coach Paul riding the slide. Nope, never did I go to a water park. I don't know if it was because we lived so far away from one but it certainly was not something I sought out like many do. I might just have find myself a huge water slide and check it out one day. Its time to see water as fun.
It has been a crazy month at work and it drives me crazy when it interferes with training but it happens. This week I did not complete either scheduled runs however I did one this afternoon. I know if Coach reads this he'll shake his head but I'm really happy I did. I have been worrying about the Syracuse half ironman. Have I been doing enough training, will I complete the race etc? Today showed me that I am ready to race an Olympic distance so it is on track. I just need to trust Coach and I'll be ready. The ankle is holding good with the tape which is a miracle too.
While at the gym I saw an old gym mate. Hard to believe it has been three years since we have seen each other. Like so many she struggles to find the time to hit the weights or do a bit of cardio. What works for me is a goal. If you have a goal and really want to make it happen it will happen. For me that goal is an organized race. If I sign up I gotta do it and coupled with the fund raising it really makes it happen. One never knows the goal of a 5K run might just lead to an Ironman. Set the goal so its beyond your comfort zone because that is where the magic happens as my tri-buddy Jeff posted.
What is your goal ?
