I am ok with this.
I am back to lifting weights twice a week. I missed lifting weights with Dominic. We have so much fun. There's a guy at our Y getting ready for a body building competition. It's been fun to watch his body change SO much over the course of 4 months. He bulked up really big last spring on steroids and now he's leaning out. He says he's down to 20g of carbs a day. Could you imagine? It's so opposite for endurance and my kind of training.
Getting off subject here. Sorry.
I have this crazy, intense energy in the morning that has to released somehow. After an hour walk with my dogs, feed them, it's time for my own "exercise". I don't call it "training" anymore. Maybe because I know I don't have to be doing it?
I understand why people like to have a coach year round. It's a sure fire way of not losing your fitness. That's what scares me. I love being IM fit. I want to stay this way.
2010 is going to be the year of the bike for me. I am going to enter as many bike races as I can. I am even contemplating joining a team since they pay back my race entry fees. This team, actually. But their jerseys were BUTT ugly last year. Is that bad to not want to join a team because their jerseys are ugly?
Typical Amanda shot after a rainy 10 mile run. Why? To clear my head.
Thanks for all your comments about my Mom. It's going to be tough but we'll get through it.

ha ha ha ha! hey, it's agreat shot of you!
no, can't imagine 20g of carbs. i would be so stopped up i'd have a new addiction - laxatives!
Love seeing that smile on you!
Do not join a team with ugly jerseys! Also, do not join a team if their jersey does not color coordinate well with your bike. Seriously, what are you thinking!
You sure love that IM cap, don't you? LOL ;)
KEEP having fun, Judi...and you will be SO eager to get back to the structure after the downtime! And keep CXing! Great time of the year! :)))) Enjoy
jolynn - that's the 1st time i have worn it!
First cross now road racing! You are *totally* going to the Dark Side. Welcome.
Next thing you know you'll be a retarded crit monkey like me.
Yes, 24 Hour sprint = how many times you can finish it in 24 hours. You can do teams, solo, whatever. You would love it, I bet!
...a team w/ ugly jerseys ???...eww, no way !!!...
...not only will ya have to wear one but that's all you'll see on group rides...
Yes, I see the prob. with the ugly shirts. But still...it's worth it if it's fun, AND they pay race fees!
So good to take a step back and just do what you want to do--but I also can relate to wanting to be in IM shape all the time! It's so tough to do the work, but your body feels tight and strong, which feels awesome.
Have fun at the x-cycling clinic!
Hi Judi!
I will definitely be there Monday night!!!
Thank you again for letting me know about this.
Big Hugs,
Mary
Congrats on becoming an Ironman this August.. I have yet to do that.. so kuddos to you..
Join a team if you can. It's more fun and you'll learn a lot more. Besides which, racing solo in road races is way harder.
...i made a "jokey" comment about the jerseys but ya, i agree w/ the idea that a team would serve you well for both learning & racing...
...go for a few group rides this fall w/ them & check out how you fit w/ the team...look around yer area & see what yer options are...
...don't be afraid to let 'em know you usually ride w/ a small group of friends but you're not used to the team thing...you're undoubtedly strong on the bike but 'til you're used to it, be straight up about wanting to learn about riding w/ a team...
...best piece of advice ???..."pay attention & hold yer line"...
