Yeap, this is it. Time to start training again, and time to be disciplined again. I must say that I surely enjoyed my December month of doing essentially what I wanted, when I wanted workout-wise. No pressure. Sure, I’ll have a doughnut…and maybe one more glass of wine…or Port…or even both! Well, that’s then and now, it’s a brand new year and the start of a brand new season.
Guess what: I am nervous too. My coach told me, or instead, begged me not to be too lazy in December. And she even warned me that my 1st two weeks in January “ain’t gonna be pretty”. She was right. And I knew it. But hey, that’s what I am paying her for, so that someone else is responsible for my hurt, and not me!!!
Joking aside, the reason why I was nervous is that I know enough, with all my years of racing that it never gets easier. Only faster. And faster means harder, which = hurt. And you know, part of me is looking forward to that hurt, the one that begs you to stop, but you just want to keep going to see how far you can push yourself.
here we go again…
I must say though that the Team is doing extremely well. They are so motivated and encouraged that it helps me on days that I don’t want to wake up early. I know they do it, so I better get myself out of bed, and work out. They are such an awesome bunch and I can’t wait to see them evolve in this new type of training.
Thanks for reading!
