Keep reminding myself – less than two weeks…
This morning I did my usual tempo run, and while it felt pretty good and I ran fast and strong, I’m struggling a bit to keep it up. I’m pretty tired and my body is sore – knees, back, neck, calves. No injuries, but a lot of aches and soreness. Thankfully, as I keep reminding myself, the payoff is in just 12 days. I’m remembering why I like triathlon training better than marathons. The scary thing is that the Ironman is both, and then some.
