Training Motivation

[rebeccmeister]

Well, I'm happy to report that, now that I live by myself, I am getting more sleep and am finding fewer excuses to skip morning rowing practices. This has been a big frustration of mine for the past couple of years, as evidenced by the occasional post about lack of sleep, etc. It also helps that I have some big goals coming up. First is an Erg Marathon on September 23. Next on the agenda is an on-the-water marathon in Louisiana in November. I'm bummed that I won't be able to make it to Boston this year, but with moving and traveling this summer, I just can't afford the plane ticket. I also don't have the resources to put together a competitive boat for the race. Oh well. Then, the week after the Louisiana marathon is the Tour de Tucson, a 108-mile bike ride in (you guessed it) Tucson. I think I've managed to talk a couple of other bikers into training for it, which is quite exciting. Now I just have to figure out how to prepare for it...

And then, of course, I need to start figuring out what I'm going to do in the spring, after I return from Australia...

I added you recently, I hope you don't mind.

I don't know how you can sit on an erg for so many thousands of meters. I can barely get through a 5k. This winter I need to work on that.
