Back On The Horse

Good riddance 2011, and don’t be offended if I already forgot you.  Certainly, that was the most challenging year of my life.  The fact that I was snoring logs well before the ball dropped on new years eve was not indicative of my pure elation that renewal was imminent.  So here is a big thumbs up for 2012, I am ready for you and so is my holiday belly.  I’m proud to say, four weeks behind on my training goals and 10 lbs heavier, we are officially back on the horse. 

Last week I scrounged out 14 miles on the run, and 60 easy minutes on the bike just to reacquaint my body to training.  I have to be careful with the restart, I jump in too fast, and injury will be probable. I’m sitting here in my hotel room in Montreal (pursuing new employment) rewriting the training program, stiff as a board from a solid 45 minutes on the treadmill a few laps of the pool. ( I loathe the treadmill by the way).  So here are the next few weeks of start-up.  Who is with me!!!!! 

Two races coming up, with a focus on the Bay Race 30K end of March. That will be the indicator if I can take a shot at a spring marathon.

Week 1 – 15 miles – All easy miles

Week 2 -  18 miles – All easy,  with a 70 minute run this Sunday.

Week 3 -  20 miles/ 120 mins on the bike  -  all easy run miles.

Its good to be back
this is going to be a great year!
