Sick Day - Ugh

Have you ever noticed how when you are sick you tend to reflect on some silly things or think about past events or even future events? That was me today! I was sick all night (and morning until 3:45am) and spent most the night in the bathroom. I hate having a bug that everyone around here seems to be getting. Oh well.

After leaving work early, I came home and slept - a bunch. During the times I was deliriously awake, I reflected back on my training and past triathlon. I envisioned myself running faster than I have ever run before; I saw myself cycling faster than I have ever cycled before; I saw myself swimming faster than I have ever swam before. It was a great thought and dream. I want so badly to run right now but I know I shouldn't because I wouldn't have any energy. I am definitely going to run tomorrow. I have to... I have a race on Sunday I need to prep for and I NEED to make sure my muscles stay loose.

I know Miami is 10 months away but I feel like that is tomorrow. I get nervous when I think about it and I get worried that I won't achieve the personal goal I have set for myself. It will be hard to achieve for sure, but I want to push myself to new limits. I certainly will be happy just to finish the race, but I want to make sure I have pushed myself. I don't want to regret ANYTHING about that race.

I have a tough training schedule ahead of me. Right now I am focusing on my running and starting in January I will start swimming because that is what really needs the biggest improvement. I will add a few long rides in there but starting February I'll have brick workouts and longer rides and runs.

I enjoyed my reflection time today. I really needed it as I felt like my spirits were getting low. I am back on track now and I am ready to rock and roll. Tomorrow is a new day and I am ready to run.

I'll post my times as the races come and go. Sunday when I get back from San Marcus I will post my weekly training schedule from this week.

God Speed and Safe Training,

Megan :)
