Antsy Pants
During this recovery week, I've become all antsy. This sentiment is particularly obvious on the weekend days, which are usually my big running days of the week. Here it is on a Saturday evening, and I don't feel all tuckered and tired from a big day out. More like, I'm all jittery and rearing to go. Watch out bike trainer, as I suspect you will be my energy releasing mechanism in just a little while.
Right now, I am very fit. I think I am currently at my fittest. As in, fittest ever, in my whole life. This is a tough one to gauge, though, because the kind of fitness I have right now is quite different from that which I've previously experienced. I wouldn't say I'm particularly fast or strong, at all. More like, I can just run forever at a moderate clip. I'd also say that I could definitely be fitter.
I'm all antsy to begin next week. Next week is my last big training week before the taper begins. Actually, a last minute change has been made to my training schedule; my "hard week" begins tomorrow (instead of Monday) and ends the following Monday (instead of Sunday). So, that's 9 challenging days of training. Is it time to start yet?
Most excitingly (Is that a word?), it appears that plans have been finalized to run this race next weekend. I'm pretty psyched to log some mileage on some somewhat unsnowy single-track, which is decidedly few and far between in this part of the world right now (However, I have heard reports of this area received some snow last week. I hope it melts.).
So, is it tomorrow yet?
(P.S. Does anyone else find my weekly workout logs to be dreadfully boring? I'm bored just writing them; they must be god-awful to read.)

Actually, I like reading other people's weekly workouts! Maybe I am just a nerd. :) But I find it motivating. It's the "well, if SHE can do that, surely I can too!" mentality. Your dedication to keep up with core workouts is especially inspiring. Keep it up!

Your postings motivate me to get out there! I'm readjusting to life in Montana (after several years of sea level and moderate temps in DC). If you've got time, can you tell me about your bike trainer? Thanks!

Hi Megan. Thanks for your last comment on my blog. To be honest, I do find weekly workout logs to be rather boring -- not just yours, but everyone's. Still, it's your blog, so you should post whatever you want to post. Last month's horoscope? Favorite broccoli recipes? Sure, why not....
I hope you enjoy your trip to my fair state!
