I don't even own a TV that I can watch the Olympics on, but I am glued to it at my friend's house. Little blogging I'm sure will happen over this Olympic time period. Olympics + crazy business with everything = me...not enough sleep, lots of work, and not enough sleep. But can I make one ity bity complaint? Can Micheal Phelps be just a smidge, just a smidge more excited when he get a gold medal? I mean we don't need a display like his excitment over the 4x100 relay(I mean who wasn't screaming over that one?), but to break a world record in the 200 butterfly and while earing the MOST career golds with.that.race. and have this look of disappointment. They speculate he was going for a faster time...but seriously...look sorta excited. Puuuuleez. (edit:so...today I found out that his disgruntled-ness may have been due to water in the goggles...but this is not the first ho-hum "gee I won a race/broke a world record." Come'on show a little excitement, it IS the OLYMPICS. But that is just MY opinion.)
I have to decide pronto on if I am doing an oly in 6 or 10 weeks...i'm leaning towards one in 10...but I may have a work conflict. I should know that verdict soon here.
Training is going remarkably well for having little focus. I have been swimming a lot more lately between masters and joining katie b and co for some open water swimming last week. I am finally getting my legs back under me with my running and starting to see my times drop, which is so nice. My 7 mile run last sunday, majority of the run was in a pace range I like and I am starting to feel like my hip is back to normal and my legs are just beginning to like the whole 'training' thing again where I am going faster for me, and able to start pushing some real boundries. It is starting to come together.
and a lot more swims to come i hope!...i am not going to LA this weekend so the Friday night one miler and the Sunday afternoon 2 miler (followed by a 90 min run if your up for it) are a go...you in?
ReplyDeleteDid you see the race last night? Where he won by .01 second? He was pretty happy about that one, but my mom and I rewound and watched his MOM's reaction like 4x, and the guy sitting in front of her with this dumbfounded look on his face... it was pretty priceless.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the Olympics ruining your life, though. I haven't gotten off the couch since they started. I'm glad your training is going well, though. Becoming a fat blob while watching the best athletes in the world for 4 hours a night does not feel good. Trust me.
