Well it's official, I'm back in 1/2 ironman training. Day 2 and I'm doing well, lol. Ask me in 6 weeks and hopefully I will have the same answer. My goal for this training is to just take it one day at a time. Don't worry what I have to do tomorrow or how many miles I have to go. Take each day one by one and don't get overwhelmed.
Now that I have this anxiety disorder I can get overwhelmed pretty quickly. I'm making progress but it certainly is slow going. I'm into month 6 of the new me. 6 very long months. I'm hoping that since I see a bit of improvement that it will continue and in another 6 months I'll be back to normal. I have to think positive.
I've been adding races to my 2011 calender and I think I'm just about maxed out. A race for every month with the exception of June. With the first triathlon kicking off in April I hope to be in great condition and ready to tackle what lays ahead. Which is a lot of tough training.
A lot of random thoughts have been going through my head. I want to make a lot of changes this year. Everything from updating the house to spending more quality time with the husband. Change. There's going to be a lot of it this year. I turn 40. My sister's graduate college and start new lives. One's I hope I get to spend more time in. I have a feeling I'll be wearing glasses by July. My son goes to high school in the fall. My husband starts a new job within the company. I will have my second 1/2 ironman under my belt and my 5th marathon. Yup, Dad I did it. I registered for Chicago. I want that 5th one pretty badly. It seems like a good number to stop at. So I figured I might as well do it on a course and city I know well with a chance of PRing. Plus I couldn't let you do it alone.
Changes..........I'm ready.
