Boy last year this blog was so much easier! Maybe it has something to do with coaching cross country running and skiing?? I just realized this is the end of 3rd quarter as well! WOW! Time flies when you are having fun :)
So what has been going on, let's see..... No marathon this winter - whew! I will never train for one of those in the winter again. My new found love is xc skiing, now if I were good at it! I guess I feel like I have this granny speed, kinda like when I run... I need more Power!!! Dang fast twitch muscles need to fire up! I will say that the skiing took me back to when I was a little girl skiing with my uncles and grandpa all over the back trails of Nikiski. There is something that is so calming about skiing, even when you are sucking wind! Skiing definitely helps me appreciate my surroundings! Now let's see if I can remember that when my friend and I do the tour of Anchorage this weekend! It is going to be sooooooo difficult! My goal: make the cut off time and actually finish, oh and don't get hurt!
Other then skiing, I have been trying to get triathlon ready for this season. It was pretty tough with ski season, but now that is over I am getting on track. I have been swimming for about a month now and a friend of mine talked me into swimming at a master's meet (for adults). I had a blast! I did not feel any of the pressure I put on myself in the triathlons. I just went out there to have a good time and I did! It helped that I got to do the 100 IM, the 50 Breast stroke, and a relay! Those made the 500 free seem bearable! I can't wait to do more meets next year, just to be doing something. Plus it is pretty inspiring to see a 74 year old woman do the 400 IM with flip turns! Something I would not even do now!!!
Well, I could go on and on but no one is probably even checking these considering I have posted 2 blogs all year! I will get better at this I promise :) Have a great week and pray for me in the Tour of Anch this weekend!!!
