246 Days til Winnipesaukee.
I was considering taking a picture of myself every month (around the first of the month) to see any changes. I am seriously going to buckle down & train really hard. 70.3 miles is a lot of miles. I know I can drive that far in a day, but can I seriously move my body in the water, out of the water, on the bike & through the run? We'll see in 8 months!
I'm also considering a duathlon in May. The details are a little scattered right now. It seems that there may be 2 distances in this event. A long & short course. I think that I should start seriously considering doing the long courses in my events leading up to NH. Oh well...only time will tell how strong I get this year. 2 weeks left to go in 2009, then the serious training begins. 2010 brings in an entire new decade with lots of new goals!
& bah humbug to all you naysayers out there that say I can't do it. Merry Christmas!

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!
