Well, today, I officially start my 12 week harder block of training.... of course there are some easy weeks but certainly not like the holidays...... the worst part was resisting kicking the crap out of my alarm at 0630. But get up I did, and it was... wait for it...... only -12C!!! So I hopped into my Gortex suit and other assorted gear, and went for my "tempo" run..... as described by coach Mark..... but it was more 10 minute creak, 30 mins steady trot without dying, and 10 mins of creaking....
I know that this is all good for me, but I know that if you see me under a black cloud and bags under my eyes..... don't worry, I'll catch up on my sleep on the weekend, I really will.... I think that although this will definitely give me some speed and endurance to have a far better season, this is going to test my mettle...... 2009 is going to be an all around better year!
On a completely different note, my best friend's sister had a liver transplant, one more reason to look forward only in the next year.... I have so much to be thankful for, so no whining! Off to the pool to do the things lots of my friends only dream of!
Party on to New Orleans!
