XC skiing at the Morton Arb right after a foot of SNOW!  Nice!!!

Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim Grand Canyon trail run

Made plans to run the Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim Grand Canyon trail run with Dr. R. Hammerton on May 15/16. Should be really fun!  I'm totally psyched. Russ has done this 7 times previously so I'm feeling much more confident about this than if I was doing this solo.  Plus it will be really nice to hang out with him. 

Let the training begin!  

2021 Training- Getting back into shape!

 

This was my best week of training in quite a while. I totaled 11 hrs, 27 min and most of that was actual swimming, biking and running. Its Sunday night and I'm pretty tired, but excited to run in an indoor tri next weekend. Hopefully it actually happens! I've been here before, a week out from a race during Covid thinking it was going to go off, and then you get the email that its cancelled. It's really disappointing.  

Motivation

I think I've hit a new low in motivation. Its February 3rd 2021 and we are coming up on the one year anniversary of the start of COVID quarantine. Yes, the positivity rate is going down and there is a vaccine that is now available, but that good news seems like its still a million miles away.  All I can see on the horizon is more quarantine and this strange abnormal life we're all living. All of the things I love, racing and training with others, meeting friends for coffee, going out and actually being part of a group at social events, etc... are largely still not possible.  Yes, there are zoom workouts, but really, those suck!  It feels like one of those Spring seasons when its early March and all you want to do is get out and ride your bike outside. You know its going to be another month or even longer before there is any consistent decent weather!  But with COVID you're really not sure if there will ever be normality again. 

Got to get back my mojo but just not sure how...
