One of the great things about the training program that several of us are following is that it includes every important aspect of your training needs. From icing your knees, to warm ups and cool downs, to an opportunity to "reconnect with family and friends." This week is a recovery week and with that comes a two-day weekend of no exercise. Thursday night's instruction says "Plan your weekend." How cool is that? What do you mean no exercise?
For those who've never embarked on such a journey (myself included), you quickly learn just how much of your day-to-day existence is consumed by all that is Ironman, training, research, planning, exercise, etc. It's like having a second job. I won't belabor the point I am trying to make but will just say this - My training partners and the training program emphasizes taking time to recover and taking time to reconnect with the outside world. Both are equally important in this journey. So, whether it's packing up and going camping, heading to the beach, painting a room, planning a party or just going to dinner with loved ones, refuel mind, body and spirit.
