How can this be? A new beginning and the first fresh day of a new year and I forgot to do my strength and flexibility regimen. I also messed around until it was too late to do my indoor bike ride. So, the New Year's question is: am I really that committed to going all in for a half-ironman event. It doesn't look like it from here, today, no, not at all.
And I don't seem all spun up over my negligent behavior. Maybe I really don't want this bad enough? Maybe I know I am over the hill and realize that this is all one big facade where I try to act like a younger man without significant injuries? But it is most likely part of the wisdom that comes with all this aging stuff. Silly me, I think it will be OK.
Of course, I did run on my trails for the first time in a few weeks. Painful but tolerable, not bad. Glad I faced that one down for now. Plus, I did about 40 minutes of good mountain bike riding. I split firewood for a spell and worked with my tractor before coming in for the night. So, the day wasn't a complete waste. I ate clean today and feel good as I ready for bed. I am at peace about my half-Ironman 70.3 training, as it is months away. And I gave all this to God, win, lose, or whatever, a long time ago. Since it is essentially out of my hands, Silly me, I think it will be OK.
