Working Out Again

I started training again a couple of weeks ago. This past week has been great. You could not ask for better weather to train in at this time of year. The week before that sucked. When you haven't done anything in over a year other than gain 30lbs 90 degrees is not pleasant. The legs and cardiovascular system didn't seem too bad, but I was wilting after just a few miles of running.

Time is my biggest enemy in training. My biggest test will be in keeping my motivation up when I can't find time to train. I really don't much about the health benefits of what we do or any of the other socially acceptable reason people claim for doing endurance sports. I love the challenge and I love to compete. When I try to train and get busy with race stuff and can't train for days I loose all motivation, because I don't feel like I could compete.

Time will tell how things go. I will keep you posted.

Great to see you back! Yes, this weather has been rare for July!

I hope to see that your training takes you over to the trails in JMF -- maybe we can look over new course possibilities for LLTH.

By the way, any way possible for continuing the Otter Creek Marathon this year?
