Relaxing

I coached the first night of my Run Clinic on Tuesday. I swam 1000 metres on Monday. I biked and hiked in the woods yesterday. I’m really enjoying the mellow environment (in my head) post-marathon.

Tomorrow is my first session with my personal trainer since the race, and I’m hoping it will result in me feeling a little more focused.

There’s a triathlon I’d like to do at the end of July. I’ll sign up for it soon, but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around any sort of serious training program. Granted, it is “just” a Sprint Tri (forgive me, Karen) so I’m not going to need to invest an insane amount of time into it.

I guess I’m just enjoying not having a goal, to be honest. There’s a 10k next weekend and then the tri in July. I’m just planning on having fun with both of them, to be honest. Just exercising for the heck of it, instead of being crazy about pace or distance or weekly mileage. I imagine by the time August rolls around and I start upping my distances again for the Army Half, I’ll regain some focus, but for now, I’m looking forward to a summer full of Run Clubs, open water swims and the wind rushing through the holes in my bike helmet.

What about you? Are you always and completely goal focused? Do you relax in the summer or kick it into high gear?
