Most nights, I fall asleep then wake in the middle of the night. Tonight I have yet to sleep at all. It started with a glass of wine. Why didn't I just have a beer?
Reasonable people are sleeping right now. My dog is wondering why I've joined him on the couch.
Even the guinea pig is quiet.
There is work tomorrow. And Friday. And Saturday.
I should be sleeping or carb loading or planning my strategy for this Sunday's Half.
But there are so many distractions. So many reasons to lie awake thinking, worrying, planning.
Work. A cluttered house. A trekaroo trip next week. Not one but two birthday parties to plan in the next month. A triathlon in 6 weeks.
So my back-to-back Halfs are taking a backseat to Life.
I set a PR at Tobacco Road several weeks ago. That was a flat, cool race. This Half, on the other hand, is hilly and will be a tad warmer. Plus, it will be my second race in less than a month. Odds for a new PR are not in my favor. So while I've continued to train I've lacked focus. Clearly I need a goal for this race. Any suggestions?
