…. I think. With about 8 weeks until our “official” start of the training plan, it is time for me to start making a pre-plan, plan. Coach Maggie told us we should be cleaning up our eating habits in preparation for the training to begin. Really????? Clean up our eating habits during Thanksgiving and Christmas, is this some sort of a sick joke? Well – Pam, Rob, and I had no problem “cleaning” up the rest of a Pecan Pie yesterday 🙂
Seriously though, I agree with laying down some decent habits now. I am committing to only have wine on the weekends, and no more than 2 glasses in an evening (I guess the day time is free game then…. kidding!). I am stating this publicly to keep the pressure on myself to keep to it. Starting tomorrow I plan to be more disciplined in getting in my workouts. I had a terrible dream the other night that I was swimming in the pool and I could not get my arms out of the water to complete a stroke!! I guess these 2 weeks of not getting up to swim are playing some mind tricks on my head, huh? I am really looking forward to Paul and Brook’s return from Mexico next weekend! The team will be getting together to discuss goals, race calendars, etc…. I am compiling a list of questions for our coach. The first and foremost, which I think of often, is how to train to balance my efforts amongst the three disciplines. How does one gain in one area without losing in another? I sure hope she has words of wisdom!! And…….. how do I get that washboard stomach at age 45 and 3 kids later?
