9 days to GO.....

Now that I am fully in the taper crazies I do have a few updates:

  • One would think that with the reduced training hours that I would have all of this EXTRA time for blogging but somehow my days are packed more than ever.

  • All of the final big purchases have been made.  I am officially OUT OF MONEY…lol.  (shoes, tires, bike tune up, etc)

  • With every taper I always have the arrival of cold-like-symptoms.  This time is no different.  I am taking care of it!  This part I am use to.  Not freaking out at all.
  • My back is 100% again.  After wrenching it the other week I have been careful to keep it happy.  My massage guy sure knows what he is doing. 
  • Lots of short workout combinations still left for the next week ahead.  I am already sad to see this training cycle come to an end.  It truly has become a part of me.

  • Food – I am still eating plenty of it.  Love this benefit of training for an event of this distance.  The other night Scott fixed a veggie pizza for me but I enjoyed his steak pizza so much more.  YUMMY!!
More post next week on goals for Ironman Louisville, what is already in the plan for next year, and more taper crazy thoughts.

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
