Man, I love Mondays. Yes, I just said I love Mondays. Why? Why would someone like the start of the work week so much?? Well, it's my one day off each week...from training that is! haha! Seriously though, this Monday was different than most. Probably because the race is getting closer and closer and I'm feeling good. I had a very tough week of training yet woke up refreshed and ready to tackle everything in front of me Monday. I will say about 2pm though I was ready for a nap!
This past weekend was great. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. I was able to get plenty of sleep which is my number one priority right now as far as Ironman is considered. Proper rest is crucial to me executing my taper. Speaking of tapers...I start mine in a few days!!! Saturday will be my last big workout...and it won't be hard, just a good solid effort. The hay is in the barn. No need to push anything at this point. I've worked so hard to get here, I now need to concentrate on all the little things that will make race day more enjoyable...ummm, tolerable! Just plenty of rest, sleep, avoidance of illness and positive thinking.
And as far as positive thinking goes...I'm thinking very positively about my Oregon Ducks right now!! What a dominant performance they put on the USC Trojans Saturday! Just can't say enough about them. Now the question becomes...I normally always wear a visor during races, but Meg got me a sweet dry fit Oregon running hat for my bday!! Should I wear that instead?? Help please! Thanks for reading,
