Going Back To SC

I’m getting ready to go back to SC this week.  I probably need to do some serious resting for a little bit. I’m at the point where I don’t think I can really do much else up here. The weather is getting progressively worse and last week I was running in the snow.

Track workouts are stellar and yesterday I did a workout Coach Luiz Oliveria always had us do (back in 2004ish). I ran 4 x 400 with these plyos between each 400, so you’re resting a little..but not really. Unfortunately I had to barf after the last 400m. It’s hard doing these types of workouts at 7300 feet because REST isn’t REST at all when the air is thin. It takes oxygen to recover.   I was pleased with my times as they were VERY fast and it was VERY relaxed, until the acid built up in my legs and I couldn’t get rid of it. 

I just can’t believe sometimes how strong I am right now. I’m not saying I’m in race shape, but I’m healthy and if I can come down with nothing HURT or BROKEN and I’m not ILL, then I am really expecting some HUGE performances this year (HUGE by anyone’s standard).

I will come back to Colorado Springs once Worlds is over and keep training high for several more months and I’m honestly thinking about making this my residence. I’ve been a lot of places and I get bored easily…but I’m still not bored here (so that is REALLY suprising).

Ah back to the South where the boys wear pink polos, boat shoes, and croakies (so they can look “sporty” even though they aren’t)!  Fishing isn’t really a sport- FYI.  Neither is armchair Football.   Neither is pool or darts. Neither is GOLF (I will debate you anyday of the week about GOLF).

While I was here in Colorado I was able to visit my cousins I haven’t seen in about 10 years. Thanksgiving was great. It’s always nice to have family around.
