continuing on ..........

For the last two years I have had a thought - 'think I'll do an Ironman'. There is my problem. I have these thoughts but don't actually think too much about what it means. What I now realise it that it means having a single focus for about 6 months, stamina and commitment to the training above all else. That means fitting in about 10 hours training / week. Week after week. That, I believe is too much for most people like me with work and family. I'm not saying, don't have a go, after all thats what I am doing, I'm just saying it is difficult and don't under estimate it.

My training the last couple of weeks has been run at lunchtime each day, swim 3 times/week and try to fit in some biking between kids homework, bedtime stories, picking up and dropping off, having a social life. Biking has had to give and I feel guilty for it, I also think I need to get a lot of miles in on the bike. Somehow I need to get to being able to sit on that bike for 8hours and at the moment, I can't. It hurts.

Still a few more weeks to go ........
