Getting ready

Well, my training starts next Tuesday. I am trying to take it easy and try to not push myself yet. I am notorious for starting a little too strong and finishing short in the end. I still feel that I have not recuperated from the blow I took to my ego during my marathon in December.

I got my bike worked on this week to get it ready. I also finally had a fitting. I got the bike off of craigslist last year and kind of just lived w/ the discomfort. I figured that it was a little to small, but I also thought I could just get a new seat and stuff to make it fit. Apparently the bike is a 48cm and I need a probably a 52cm. I was a little discouraged, but I thought that I would look at it as a glass 1/2 full girl.... just think how much better I would be if I had a proper bike! I think that already pretty fast and I could be so much faster! I did realize though, , that I don't know if I am ready for this giant step. I bet that I am going to be the only person there with a bike is too small.

I am really excited to start my training, but I need some help from anybody that wants to offer it. I am going on a 10 day vacation to Disney world and I really don't want to get off track. I have contacted the Y there and I am taking my bike so I am preparing myself to stay on track. But I am so easily swayed I don't want to be!
