Last night I spent a LOT of time on the computer looking for a half iron that is later in the year that I could still drive to. I found nothing. Well, I found two but both of them said they were extremely challenging. Isn’t a half iron challenging enough???
Anyway, looks like if I go that route it will have to be the Gulf Coast Tri May 12th. I still have some time to decide.
In the mean time I am going to focus on my diet. I was doing so good but have found myself eating more and more junk. I think to myself “I am going to run 20 miles tomorrow, it is ok it I eat these tootsies rolls.” Or “I just ran 15 miles, I deserve to eat this bag of cookies”. Time to end that line of thinking.
This morning I got up at 5:20 and got the Rec Center before the pool was open. The lifeguard let me in at about 5:45. I sat on the edge for a minute and then just made the plunge. Oops, forgot my goggles. Had to get out and get them. Brrrr.
Back in the water. I swam 1750 yards in 38 something. I just keep getting slower and slower, soon I am just going to sink to the bottom.
I wasn’t really pushing myself this morning; it was all about just doing something.
All the soreness from the marathon is gone. I can walk up and down stairs like a normal person. I am over my pity party and moving on to 2007.

Glad you are starting to feel better!
Anything "iron" sounds challenging to me... but then again I'd probably drown. haha
I do the same thing with food!!! I just rode a 100k, hello donuts :-)
((Michelle)) I am glad that you are feeling better.
Very happy to hear that you are feeling better. I don't know if it will help ... but when ever I have a running week loaded with activity I look at everything in terms of carbs. If it ain't got carbs, it doesn't get eaten. This line of thinking keeps me away from a lot of junk.
Of course that rule doesn't apply to ice cream :)
5:20 AM Yikes Only time I get up that early is to GO fishing or pee :-/
But I guess since I am going to be doing this Marathon I will be UP early, might have to practice some morning runs into my trainings :-(
GLAD your getting back into UR workout routine!
Bob
