OK – this is the Friday confessional blog carnival and I have wandered to my blog to post something for my 10 day countdown to Boston. I am not sure how this game goes except you must confess something and then link away with Mr Linky on the above link to Glamazon ( a fellow blogger I connected to in virtual world).
I confess:
1. I hate the “taper”!
It is time to taper, meaning cut your runs down in distance and intensity. The Boston Marathon is 10 days away and I am getting very anxious. Excited. Uptight? Just not liking the TAPER!
I feel like I am finally in shape and especially this year without training on Sat and Sun – (oh boy – that is another confession – YES – I took off every Sat and Sunday all winter to ski coach)…. I feel especially GUILTY not to run and not to run fast! But I am going to try it anyway. Hal Higdon (my virtual coach – isn’t that funny, everything is pretty virtual these days..) on Training Peaks says “Don’t worry if you gain a pound or two”. Well yuck! I am thinking the suit I am wearing needs to look just perfect for me, and for my husband and for the camera lens of all those photos I love to take when I am doing these marathons! But oh well, one must try and meet the diet needs to maintain the weight and do my BEST!
2. I hate the scale. I have “big bones”, muscular thighs and the scale is not usually so nice to me. I look fantastic at 145 and frail at 140. But when it hits 150 I just want to scream.
3. My computer addiction level is high.
My work computer died and I am limping along with this very cool set up that Steve did for me on the Mac. I really need to get off the computer and do a little cross training during the day and even at night to get back to that Triathlon shape of the old days. 🙂
But sometimes it just draws me and I can’t seem to stop. Gotta get off this thing!
4. This is my first confessional post and I promise to do better next time. After reading some of the blogs that are posted and linked for this carnival, I realize that there is so much more…. 🙂
TGIF
I love Fridays — especially after 5 PM!
