Well, it’s official. As of this week the company I work for is merging with another one. What does this mean? I am not quite sure. My job is still here, for now at least; but who knows? I am not necessarily worried about it right now. I will continue to do my job, at the same level I am doing it now. I guess time will tell what happens.
Lately I have been considering becoming a stay at home mom or working part time. Why? Because I’d love to have more time to dedicate to this sport. I have Ironman plans for 2010 and I will need more “free” time to get in the 20 hrs per week of training. On the down side, this is an expensive sport and it is always nice to know that you can afford it. Know what I mean? Yes, yes, my mind is a mess. Oh well, I’ve learned to live with it.
Training has been going good. I had a nice talk with Coach the other day about my training and the feedback she is getting from me after my workouts. I always think that it is not enough and that I am not giving her enough tools to fine tune my training. One of the things that had me the most concerned was my level of tiredness. I remember previous seasons being extremely tired; even though my workouts were not as consistent as now; so I was expecting to be as tired this year too. But I am not; and that made me question my performance. Coach assured me that I am doing the right thing and that not being as tired is actually a sign that we are going about this training thing the correct way. It means I am getting more efficient. And it made sense. In case you have not noticed, Coach rocks!
Today I had a nice run set. I had to warm up for 15 minutes and then do 30 minutes of short 1 minute intervals. Since I needed to change my pace ever so many seconds I decided to do this on the treadmill to avoind having to look at my watch the entire run. The clock on the ‘mill is much more easy to read. I developed a love/hate feeling for this workout. I loved going fast, but I hated having to watch the clock as much as I did. It made the time crawl. And even though I love running, when you are on the ‘mill pushing a hard pace you just want the time to go by as fast as possible. Don’t you agree?? I finished the set just fine, my legs felt tired as they should and my HR was all the way to zone 3. I was please with the result.
Tomorrow I have a 1:30 hr group ride, with some hard efforts on the schedule. Looking forward to it. It will probably feel like nothing after the 2:30 hrs I did last weekend. I just hope I don’t fall this time.
I also have a nice morning of dress shopping ahead. I am going to a wedding the following weekend, and since I am actually feeling awesome about my body (first time in a while I like looking at myself in a bikini) I want a new dress to sort of “show off”. Why not, right? “If you got it, flaunt it” I am looking for a nice red one (my favorite color and it does look good on me), and I have a very specific shape in mind. We will see if I can find something that resembles the image I see when I close my eyes. I will let you know if I am successful
Last, but not least I just want to wish good look to all the tri-blogger racing IMCda. Go get’em guys!!!
