Random Thoughts

Believe it or not, I have started yet another journal of sorts. I am keeping track of my Ironman training in another log book. I mainly need to keep it for the coaches to look at throughout the program. Right now I am in week 6 of a 20 some odd week training program leading up to the Couer D'Alane Ironman triathlon. I am feeling really good about everything right now. I am on track with my training. My running is coming along well. I have been getting massages on a regular basis and that has helped immensely. I need to make a decision about telling people of my plans to do the Ironman. I have not broadcasted it too much but have let it trickle out. I would like to tell everyone. It would be nice to have people there but it would also be a bit of a distraction. I know the start, I would not want too many people around. But after the bike, and at the end, I want to have someone there to celebrate with.

Something that is really bothering me is that I still cannot get it through my head that I am an endurance athlete. It is the imposter syndrome all over again. It seems that anyone who can swim 2400 meters would consider themselves an athlete?? Someday it will dawn on me.
