Slacker

Since I started working out on a more consistent basis & training (somewhat) for next year, I have been looking through a few of the other blogs that I read & that's when I get depressed.  Sure, I read one blog for a guy that is training for the 2012 Olympics.  Inspirational, yes.  Can I relate to it, um, yeah....NO! 

I'm a beginner.  If there was something lower than a beginner, I'd consider myself that.  Seriously, I did finish 3 sprint triathlons, but now I have to move on to Olympic tris next year if I want to seriously consider even coming close to finishing a 70.3 in NH.

Reading through other's blogs has helped, but I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, is there more that I can be doing?  Am I strong enough?  Do I need more motivation?  This is the wrong time of year to be dieting, didn't I say that last week?  At least I have cut my 4 dinners this week down to 2.  Tonight it is homemade stuffed veggie peppers for dinner.  That should balance out the 7 course meal we had last night at the Fromagerie is Rumson.  SWANKY!

For now I will keep up the workouts & try to add new things into my routine just to keep from burning out or getting bored.  My knee is still a little wobbly, so that means more pool time, but it's not the swimming I need to improve, it's the running.  At least I have a lot of reading to do while I rest up.  January starts the serious training.  Hey, it's only 21 days away!
