With deer hunting and Thanksgiving behind me, I am feeling fatter than ever! Jokes aside, I think the post IM weight is slowly creeping back on, which is something I was expecting. The holiday season is the perfect time to put back on a little weight, because mid November through the new year is always the time for me to indulge and not feel too bad about enjoying things I would normally feel guilty about imbibing in.
While I think it is important to let my body rest this time of year, I am certainly remaining active, with my eyes set on partaking in activities that I normally don't have time for during peak training. Right now I am following a very unstructured training schedule. I swim, bike and run whenever I feel like it (which is pretty much every day) and also take some time to enjoy strength training and yoga. I also recently ran the Berbee Derby 10k. I really wanted to crack 37 minutes, but hunting the weekend before (i.e. lots of whiskey and wonderfully unhealthy food) with a combination of forgetting my inhaler lead to a poor race, compared to what I was hoping to run. I did manage to run in the 38's, but I know my fitness is better than that.
Anyway, I digress. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PACKERS LAST NIGHT?!?!?! I was expecting a tough game, but did not expect we would never have a fighting chance. My beloved Packers looked like they played with no heart. The (va)Giants absolutely destroyed us.
FINGERS CROSSED FOR WATTIE TEAM ELITE!
I recently applied to be on the elite team Wattie.
I will find out if I am accepted in a couple of weeks, until then I will keep praying and hoping I get onto the team. The culture is awesome (as well as the kits) and I would love the opportunity to represent the W during my 2013 season. Hopefully, more to come on that later...
Until then, happy holidays!
