"Patience, Patience"

I'm suddenly anxious to get the ball rolling again, but my body is reluctant to accommodate me.  While I've done something every day since the race, they have all been relatively easy workouts.  I did step it up a bit on the bike yesterday, and while I managed my first post race, run around the block today, I am still sore.

I was shocked when I checked the calendar to find out there's less that 20 weeks til d-day.  That scares the hell out of me, and at the same time reminds me that I can't screw up from here on in.  I simply don't have time to waste trying to recover from another bout of overtraining.

So patience remains the focus.  I admit it's not one of my strong points.  Since I haven't been to the pool for 2 weeks that's probably the best place for me tomorrow.  And I'm grateful that I've been keeping fairly close to my 2500 calorie limit, so that stressor isn't there.

And since my dear wife has me working on her latest creation I'm not short of things to do.  Actually I really like the thing she's up to, and I'm grateful to be included.  I promise to let you see once it's done.

Life is good!
