I am with you Lifan, I have some information digestion to do and create a plan. It helps to roll it around in my brain a bit and figure out how to put it into action. I am not a calorie counter…so it feels a bit daunting at this point.

It took nearly a week to start feeling normal again! Wow, that was a long stretch of soreness. Went back this past Friday to do it again and I’m not nearly as sore. Thank goodness! I like trekking poles for Turtlehead. One is good – helps with the steeper sections.

Nice climb, that’s pretty much how I hurt my knee last year, darn steep mountains!!

I hope you feel better soon. Do you have any events planned?

Miss you.

This is a great idea – it really does help with the motivation when things aren’t going well and you’re really dragging, knowing that there are people counting on you. I raise money for Operation Rebound and CAF for Silverman every year and it’s been fun – and an eye opener at times

Me, too! Glum feelings are not what I’m into at all. Bring on the fun!

Thanks for your thoughts and encouragement Tracy! Although my “stomach thing” lasted only for a day, I feel like I’m still recovering from it. It’s like the body and muscles are not at the same place. And considering that I have this aversion to chicken and some other foods right now as a result, I don’t feel like I’m feeling my body enough to jump right back in to where I was. I find that I have to take a few steps back, training-wise and build again. That’s okay except it bruises the ego somewhat. ;-P

Step up – the body needs rest. I currently have one rest day scheduled each week, where I don’t do any workouts at all. I also have one step down week each month, where I have more free flowing workouts and can recover from the previous efforts. Without the rest, your body never rebuilds and recovers. It’s the rebuilding where the gains are made.

Bonnie – A goal to Complete is perfect goal. That’s all you need at this point, is the will to finish the event.

Yea! I feel like you are one step ahead of me! I am still at the I want to complete this stage! I think when I get the lungs for the swimming it will feel more like a possibility to set a time goal. I am having a great time training with you and Annette! Thanks for being my little “posse”

I am coming to terms with the fact that completing the Half Silverman this year is a very serious and genuine goal for me this year. It’s not a dalliance. I WANT this. I WANT to do this for ME and in the company of the many friends that I have gathered on this journey. My goal is not only to complete this journey as it was in the past, but I have a time goal now. I am striving for under 9 hours – feeling good and happy! Today I’m gather information. Tomorrow, I’m riding my bike.
