It's March.
How is your base training? Done? How is your power? How is your form? How is your efficiency? How is your diet? Are you recovering from workouts as planned? What events have you entered? Any new gear? Ar you happy with your overall level of fitness?
Now. Here. Today.
Folks, I know there are distractions. I know you have other priorities in your life. You have a real job. You have a mortgage. You have a relationship. You have goldfish and a collection of Beatles albums on vinyl. There is somebody out there who needs your help, support or couch. You are real. It's complex.
But should your physical fitness, overall good health and training suffer as a result of these real life (and sometimes frustrating) facts?
No, it shouldn't. Please don't let it. Do something.
Got thirty minutes before work? Spin to max, recover, repeat. Thirty at lunch? 5 X 100 in the pool. Thirty after work? Gimme a snappy 5K round the block. A little of somethin' is WAY better than a lot of nothin'.
We are making the segue into spring. I can feel it in my bones. And it's not a moment too soon. We will soon transition from indoor training to primarily outdoors. The caterpillar will soon be butterfly, and again there will appear the mountain.
We have worked often and worked hard. We have grown. We have added horsepower. We have put ear to motor and adjusted the idle speed. Found the sweet spot. We are ready. The event season is almost upon us. Let's enjoy the ride.
It's March.

I like beer and I won the Chilly Hilly again this year.
Gotta figure a way to taste some of that Harpoon IPA (without going all the way to Beantown). No wonder that is such a popular event, the winner gets a case of it!
Congratulations on your CH victory.
