My Trek to Ironman Success

Just Checking IN
It's a slow time of year, but I'm trying to get back into it. It has been extremely difficult to motivate myself to get up on those cold mornings and get in the pool with no Ironman goal in front of me. To think that I had one overriding goal for the last two years pushing me to do every single one of those workouts and as soon as Nov. 4, 2007 hit, I had nothing pushing me anymore is a difficult thing to get my head around.

I will have to make some definite goals, likely speed goals for this year, but as of right now, my goal is simply to keep up with psutrigirl and get back in shape. It doesn't seem that I've lost too much of my base, but my strength has really taken a hit with all of that IM training. I'm pretty sore after hitting the gym this week, but that is a good thing.

I'll keep you filled in as the season goes on.
