Numbers are up
I suddenly am obsessed with the weather 11 days from now
My productivity at work is nil
I refresh slowtwitch main forum on the minute
I feel undertrained
Moo is coming…
Wait, there’s still time for one more long, hard run!!!
did it this morning…without the hard aspect
.
How does this happen. How do I go from being shelled to feeling like this in 1 week!!
“I feel undertrained”
Moo is coming…
Because I’m a neurotic basket-case?
If it makes you feel any better, most of our productivity at work is nil…
good point (about me)
.
Hey…go figure, that’s how I feel too…
It’s way to early for butterflies in the stomach, but seeing the numbers has started them.
total basket case.
LOL…
Sounds like me.
Last ‘hard’ run was tuesday. It kind of set in after 1 hr of running I thought to myself, gee, the next time I am running longer than 1 hr it will be at the beginning of the IMoo marathon (which will be my first ever IM and first ever marathon.)
IMoo #807
The smartest thing to do right now is to get in one last 6 hour ride and one last 3+ hour run, just joking.
Man, don’t tempt me!
I’m rested and just doing shorter workouts. My mind is crackling with nervous energy, simply because my body isn’t blown by another long training week. Its the anticipation that sucks! Made even worse by finding out if I got into PA school any day now…
Only 10 more days of restraining myself from going hard or eating like a machine!
Not pigging out is difficult, isn’t it?
I’ve been trying to spend the time constructively by packing, attending to the final details.
And I thought that I was the only one! Thank you all for sharing …
Cool hat!
That project was one of the ways I constructively channeled my energy.
Its definitely hard to not hammer the food. Its not that I want junk, but I’m so used to eating a ton. I resorted to 2-3 nutella on whole wheat sandwiches a day to stop losing any more weight- I figured it would just make me weak in those last few hard weeks.
But hey, I’m caught up at work for the 1st time in a month!
I am in the other end of the spectrum in the middle of my hardest training for IMF so it is almost refreshing to hear your comments so thanks.
However, I will be at least if not a bigger basket case come Oct 22 or so. I always remember the last week at work being like dam I am useless the days leading up to an IM.
In any event all the best!

Best of luck in Florida. Have a great race!
