Oh . . . what an awesome experience my Triathlon at Pacific Grove was . . . way back in September of 2010. I was on top of the world, I felt like I could do anything . . . or NOTHING.
Yes, I am sad to confess that I have done NOTHING since September of 2010.
At first, I told myself that I deserved a two week break from my training. Not only deserved, but my body needed it.
Two weeks passed and then the hectic schedule of a working Mom became my excuse. Jakob had football practices and play rehearsals. Hana had gymnastics and piano lessons. My regular workouts were quickly getting pushed further and further aside.
And then the holidays arrived . . . with all their wicked food. Now, don't get me wrong. I love wicked food. And when I'm burning massive calories each day, I don't feel much guilt when I indulge. However, if you refer to paragraph two - you will understand my problem.
My true horror was stepping on the scale two days ago to discover that I have gained eight pounds since September. EIGHT POUNDS! I was only slightly mollified when the Wii Fit told me I am still within a healthy weight and also told me my Wii Fit age is 33 (not my true 37 . . . Wii Fit, I think I'll keep you around!). But still . . . how am I supposed to drag my blubber butt across the finish line at the February Davis Stampede (13 miles)??
I had contemplated NOT running in the February race, but I can't become that kind of quitter. Where is my inner Warrior Princess?? Well, recently she's been busy eating PIE, but we'll see her again in February . I promise.
