I'm only nine days into 2010, granted I've got almost 10 1/2 months to get into Ironman shape, but I've already fallen off my grand plan. Where many of the athletes that fill Triathlete magazine are training in warm sunny Arizona and or will look forward to winter days that thaw in Boulder, here in blissful Iowa its been windchills below zero, 2 days of missed school.
Specific workouts get blasted from ideal into second best due to early checks on the computer and the phone to handle cancellations, reschedules, and trainers unable to get where they need to be. Unadvised travel cramps my chances to get things done when they need to fit into my schedule to allow for workouts to happen.
So my goal- of two lifts, two runs, three swims, and three bikes a week with the key workouts being a long bike on Sunday, long run on Wednesday and long Swim on Friday ? In terms of batting averages this week I'm planning to get the long bike today- that will put me at 6/10.
Must do better next week! Now if my nutrition side of things had been stellar perhaps that would be a wash. Not so much. I had meetings, ate food that was OK but not best for me for goals and too high in sodium and fat to feel good about it. Unfortunately my body and face are like a mirror into my dinner plate and I see and feel it immediately if it wasn't a good choice.
The good news- its supposed to be in double digits tomorrow (positive) and the holiday colored peanut m&m's are gone. Moving on !! Temptation today- Dusty's birthday. A little bit of chocolate frosting after a good meal is the goal. Life's all about the frosting!
