Do it again

Here's some song lyrics:

Oh my God, what have I done? (Do it again)
All I wanted was a little fun (Do it again)
Got a brain like bubble gum (Do it again)
Blowing up my cranium (Do it again)

- The Chemical Brothers - Do it again

This is how I feel! The further away from Sunday I get, the more I want to do it again.

But not in 2008. I've got a lot to do first - and I think it would make a pretty fun summer in '08 to focus on sprints and being as fast as I could be. But in '09, I'm thinking Coeur d'Alene. I like the timing of the race - late June, so you have the rest of the summer off if you want it. I think the family will like that.

I'm also going to convince my hubby to start swimming. He's back into cycling, he's started running and has discovered it's actually fun - now it's time to convince him that big muscular guys can too swim, and all he needs is some lessons and practice.

I'm not sure he's going to want to do an Ironman in '09 with me - I'm also not sure that's a great idea, given that our kids will be six and nine and still need us around a lot - but getting him more into it lets us share something that for a long time has been only mine.

I haven't done any exercise yet since coming home, but I am eating fairly healthfully. I've watched my morning weight drop a pound a day since coming back, too. And this morning I woke up without feeling any soreness in my muscles. I'm going to take a few days more off and resume working out next week.

I'm also working on some additional thoughts about my training and the course that I hope could be helpful to folks (Jessi and Jess!) who plan to do IMC next year.
