i've been in taper mode for about a month. running here and there. i'm not even going to comment on the lack of swimming or riding. i'm struggling with a couple of bull shit injuries neither of which have been dibiitating just annoying and putting a damper on comfortable movement. i canceled the last swim lesson w/morgan and had her give me a massage instead after i hurt my back. overall, my experience with her coaching was awkward. i think i was in my head too much.
i'm burned out and giving half-assed effort all across the board. i've decided to drop the tri next month and focus on taking better care of my back and get a handle on over-eating and food choices. a family reunion and too many potlucks at work, need i say more? training for a tri would seem consistent with the aforementioned goals but honestly i don't want to commit to the swimming. i like swimming i just don't like having to work so hard at it. it's just not how i want to spend my time. i like to run after work now, it's a great way to unwind and it's so convenient and i'm just going to admit i need convenience right now.
