Ironman blues...

Almost 3-weeks have past since that incredible emotional high of Ironman and the blues have begun. These days are filled with me wanting to go for a swim, bike or run but when it comes to the act of doing them, I lack the motivation to get started. I went back and forth on whether to do something as little as a turkey trot today but lacked the motivation to even sign up. As I write this I am thinking about a trail run once Carol wakes up, but I need the motivation to get started. Also, I have been trying to figure out what I am doing next year. I have no desire to do a marathon but have been leaning heavily on doing one to two half ironman's - but which ones and when? It's all kind of foggy right now.

These feelings are not new as I had similiar feelings after IM CDA. These feelings will eventually wear off and the motivation to get started will return. It's just going through the motions that sucks!! One thing I have been keeping up with are my crunches! I feel like I am a cruching maniac right now!! Pretty soon I'll have 6-pack abs but you won't be able to see them because I lacked the motivation to workout and my rock hard abs will be covered with a flabby gut!! LOL!!! I'm so dramatic!!

Have a great Thanksgiving All!!
