Well, t-minus one day before there will be no running or any activities for about 10 days due to a minor surgery. This is the first time in a long time I will be out of commish from doing anything. It feels 50% disappointing and 50% strange to not be able to run. I feel very much motivated at this point to make the most of the coming year and take on some new challenges and meet some goals. Maybe 10 days will allow me time to evaluate a realistic schedule for next year.
I will put together an outline for the year to make it committal and conceptualize the way to make it all happen.
Hope to get started officially with a building up from almost scratch on Dec. 12th. Ryan has offered his training guidance again and I am both appreciative and on the fence whether to see this through on my own or follow a written plan. I guess it mostly because I don't want to disappoint him if he hopes I will go more tris this year and my interests may lie more in running long distance and getting on the trails as much as possible. I will ride in the winter as well as when the weather is better and keep my riding up strong but don't know how swimming will fit in anywhere with the kids schedule and Tara's own interests too. Plus, there is the issue of money to make all this happen- as in there is NOT too much extra to throw around on races and swim programs. So be it for now.
Here's hoping tomorrow goes well!
See you on the other side.
