No I'm not dead
I know, it's been a long time.
Since the Ironman my training has been less than insprational so I haven't been in the mood to blog lately. Maybe writing about my lack of training will be motivation to actually train. Since my race I've run a bit, biked once, and swam none. I have many excuses...getting sick, right knee pain, Mexico vacation...but the fact of the matter is that I have less than 8 weeks until I am to run the PF Chang's Rock N' Roll Marathon in Phoenix. I decided to do this marathon through Team in Training and fundraise $3,700 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The fundraising is going well, but I could still use some more support. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! You can visit my website at Nikki Ditsch's Team in Training Page to get some more information, or email me at nikkiditsch@gmail.com.
Training for this race has been a bit challenging. I could have used some mroe time off before heading straight into another training program, but since it is for a great cause I am more than happy to do it.
Although Ironman was an amazing experience I have decided not to do another one in 2008. The amount of training and time and dedication it took was pretty intense and I think I will enjoy a year of racing some different, shorter races. I'm still considering Ironman Coeur d'Alene in '09, however. Maybe. This year, and '08 I might even try some cycling races. There I said it out loud. Well, typed it at least. Anyway, I figure it can only help my cycling. We'll see if I actually follow through. For now I just need to get through another 26.2 in January.
