Started my 70.3 (half ironman) Training Group this week through Fleet Feet. I've been in their training programs before and it's always been a fantastic experience!
Having a hard time getting all my mileage in and getting to the gym twice a day. But I'll figure something out. I have another commitment that will be wrapping up next week, and that should free up a little time and a lot of my metal energy to use on training.
First big Group practice last night. 20 mile bike followed by a 3 mile run. It was raining all day long - just pouring! But it cleared off to just a drizzle and we got all 20 miles in before it started to pick up again. And it was 'only' raining for the run, so I was wet but not as soaked as I was afraid I might be.
I also cut my hair REALLY short. I had plenty of length to donate to Locks of Love (again - this is either the 3rd or maybe 4th time I've done it). It was all a mental game so when I look in the mirror in the morning [and we've established I'm NOT a morning person] I see someone who looks like an Athlete, and therefore I must be an Athlete, and an Athlete needs to get her butt to the gym! The bangs are driving me a little bit crazy though ;-) I haven't had bangs in YEARS so I'm still learning how to cope with having something brushing my face and close to my eyes, and how to keep it out of my face when I work out.
Off to a great start and I'm really excited!
Also, the bathroom scale had nice things to tell me this morning, and that's highly motivating too :-)
