So, My Ironman (1st one ever) is in November and I have been in base training on CompuTrainer since September because I know that is my weaknesss. The start of last week was tough. I found out some news that was very disheartening so what did I do, worked out like a crazy woman:8-mile angry run, 20 sets of stairs (in a 7-story apartment building) and 100 push-ups. Still angry, I did another crazy workout at home, then went to work. THis is with sleep deprivation and nothing to eat. THis was on a Sunday-I crashed and burned badly on Thursday. A combination of not enough fuel in the tank period, dehydration and cramping. I know better but I think that this was the best possible thing for me to do.
Hoping this week is a much better week for me: physically and emotionally.

Why the hell would anyone put themselves through IronMan training?
You are probably wondering, "Why the hell would anyone put themselves through IronMan training?" Well, for me, it is a dream in the making. See, I've wanted to do IronMan since I was 7 or 8 years old. It just fascinated me watching ABC's World Wide of Sports on Saturday afternoon. Why can't I do this?: Well, let's fast forward now to the late 90s. I learned to swim as an adult just so I could do a triathlon. I tackled the marathon (9 times over) and a few bike rides. It's one of those things that has nbeen nagging at me. I am a type A++ personality, a Leo born on a Cancer Cusp and year of the Ox. I hope that kind of explain me.
This blog is to chronicle my journey to this goal. Oh, did I not mention that I am the Endurance Coordinator (anything swim, bike, run for my company), Pilates Trainer, Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor, Marathon Coach and Triathlon Coach and somewhere in there, I have to fit my training in along with eating and sleeping (which I do not get enough of). And don't forget, the battle of the MIGRAINES!!! Yes, I said it. This should be hilarious as all hell to say the least.
So let's see what happens.....and the saga continues.....
