Getting caught up!
I have about 3 half written posts that I will finish up and post in the next few days. It has been a crazy few weeks but things are finally getting back to normal. It has impacted my training but not so much that I am worried yet. I only missed 1-2 workouts per week. Not good but not enough to really hurt me if I get back on track ASAP.
It is amazing how much progress I have made already in just the first several months on Ironteam, but it is even scary because we are approaching the 1/2 way point quickly and I still don't feel like I am even ready for Wildflower (or even in the vicinity of ready). My only real reason for optimism is that I have finally started losig weight again. When we first started ramping up the training, my weight actually went up! I was losing fat and gaining muscle which is good, but I really want to have less mass to carry up Nasty Grade and finally that is starting happen. I have dropped about 3 inches from my waist and about 5-6 lbs since the season started and we are only starting to ramp up our volumes. If I can complete all of the training and start the race about 40-50 lbs lighter then when I started then I feel like I have a real chance at it. I'll update my training volumes soon :-)
