This is waht I have figured out, I got the endurance part of IM down. Friday I spent thirteen hours shopping with my wife. I love my wife but the mental toughness that is needed for me to shop for an entire day.....still sends shivers down my spine.
I only got one workout this weekend, a good hard bike/spin it felt good after a day of shopping. Then I was able to get togerther with friends after for a little cheer. I have decided that my friends are one of the most important parts of my training. They can't do the work for me but I think one of the areas that I struggle with most is the mental toughness. My friends have been really supportive and and encouraging .
Speaking of mental toughness I have been reading a book written by Mark Allen and Brant Secunda Fit Body Fit Soul, something that struck me was the phrase 'be fearless in the face of fear'. As I consider what it means to compete and finish in the events that I have on tap for 2010 sometimes it scares me. Right now I have doubts out how well I am doing with training, I think mainly it is due to the holidays and the time I need to just to stay a float, Christmas, work and home all take their toll on the training.
