Winging It....

Not really the title of a post you want to use going into a marathon the following day.....
I thought when I signed up for this run that I would still feel pretty confident going into it. I new the timing was tight after Ironman number 2 all of 8 weeks ago, but I still felt that Ironman training would carry me through. I would take a little rest time and get right back out there.

Life does not always go as planned. Besides feeling like I have packed on the pounds after the holidays, I seem to have managed to sustain an injury. Dam foot! I have been great with rest, running all of 45 minutes total over the last 2.5 weeks, still managing to bike pretty intensely and even getting a (that's right 1) swim in. The one great thing of triathlon training is the ability to cross train and always having another option getting in a workout when one or your "wheels is broken".

So in the end, going into this race I feel less than confident. I guess that is why I have changed my game plan and focus going into it. My mantra for this one "wing it". I feel I have done races that are much longer that have challenged me to great lengths, so therefore I will get through this one. Even if it does not go as planned, I will "wing it". Not that I am tossing my favourite mantra that has got me across the finish line more than once; "I finish what I start and I finish strong", I am just adding "wing it". I guess we will see what the day has in store and if this "broken wheel" of mine will still get me through the race and across the finish line. Iced, taped, stretched and given a ton of TLC......ready to go!
