It's almost time to board that plane!
Only one day left at work before we head to paradise, and it's going to be a busy one. I'm fairly sore from weights and swimming yesterday (Vasa - so awesome, yet SO EVIL!), and I still have to run today (just training pace, though, no intervals at least). Of course on top of working out there's also just, you know, work. I'll be taking a last look through my athletes' updates on Training Peaks before I have limited access tomorrow due to flight time - I have four athletes starting Ironman training this year, and I'm very excited to see what they do with the coming months. I'm hoping I can send them some inspiration from the big island this week.
As for my own inspiration... I got some of that yesterday when I tried to actually register for the race in May (which is supposed to be for ages 20-25, barring special exceptions like myself), and the automated system came back and reminded me that I was TOO OLD TO RACE. (Palm to face). So I had to email the race director so that he could make sure I was specially cleared to register. A little discouraging, but also extremely motivating! No way I'm missing workouts - every time I start to feel a little lazy, I'll just have to picture those ultra-fit female collegiate athletes, and go ahead and drag my happy self to the pool/trainer/track.
Speaking of which, I feel a run coming on...
Check tomorrow evening for my next post - from Hawaii!!
Aloha!
