90 Days

I am finally in the last few months of training for IMFL. Time to pull out all the stops and focus, focus, focus. These next few months are all about increasing time and distance. I feel pretty good so far about my training although I still worry I am not doing enough. The running is coming along nicely but I am still way behind in terms of distance.

I also need to get my nutrition nailed down. I am practicing on every ride but last weeks 50 miler showed me I still have to work to do. I felt nauseous a good part of the ride. Ironman training is not easy, there is so much planning involved just to get workouts done. You have to think about training routes, food, hydration, the list goes on. Plain and simple Ironman training is a big deal but still I can't wait for November 1st, despite all my fears and days of panic. I realize in the next few months there is always going to be something to think about, but these challenges big or small are all part of this crazy dream.

So in these last 90 days I am going to train with passion and enthusiasm, push my anxieties and worries away and do the hard work that remains to be done. I will get through all the long kick ass workouts and get up and do it again. Then on November 1st I'll stand at the start line as ready as I can be knowing that when I do my best once again I am making my dream a reality.
