Yesterday I did my 4 mile run on the treadmill and some sit ups at night because my 6 six pack is finally coming back and that's the one thing I'm not going to take a break from during taper. I'm too afraid to lose what I've gained over the past month. Today is a rest day. Hanging out at home with friends and going to watch TV and let the kids run around!
It's funny, I was thinking yesterday how my first Ironman experience is like being pregnant all over again in so many ways. Waiting in line for registration fearful that I wouldn't be able to register because maybe there were too many people in line in front of me was like waiting for the result of a positive or negative on the pregnancy pee stick. Seriously nerves and excitement and the fear of what to expect next. Now I'm in the beginning of the "pregnancy" I'm reading a ton doing lots of research and preparing for the year ahead. As the year progresses and the training gets harder and more uncomfortable so would a pregnancy. Finally, the day of Ironman family and friends will be there and I will have to endure pain and keep my mind in the game to get me through to the finish where the birth of a new Ironman will occur. Pretty deep, I know! HA!
Okay, gotta run... well, not really.. not today anyway. Sit-ups though! ;O)
