Since she beat my marathon best time by an hour, I guess I'll let her still hang with this Ironman. :-). Seriously, I couldn't be happier for her. I was slightly more anxious about her race plan...ok, maybe a more accurate picture was I was the only one anxious and Susan was relaxed and ready to go. I really wanted her to have a great day for all the training that she had put in preparing for the race. Her hard work paid off- she had an AWESOME day!
She finished, had fun, and her time was within seconds of her goal. Congrats SusieQ!
I survived October "off-season" which probably now should be renamed "Slow-tober-fest". For the past couple of weeks, I maintained running several times a week, jumped on the bike/trainer when I felt like it, and started to hit the pool again late in the month. My only "scheduled" workouts were strength and core three times a week. Not horribly bad, but starting my November workouts, it's funny how the Garmin numbers can take a tumble so quick. I'm pretty confident that taking the month to mentally re-charge with the light workouts is going to have a big pay-off since I am really excited about getting back to training.
Three days into my 2012 plan...and I am really excited for 2012!
Gosh you are so nice. I would not have even thought of doing the marathon if not for you. Thank you !!! Looking forward to training in Palm Springs later this month.
