if i do this today...and this tomorrow...

...I will be at this for day 1-3...meaning I need this, this, this.....to get to this total for week 5.

Goodness.

So many numbers and goals everyday...im sure I spend just as much energy figuring out what Im going to do verses actually doing the activity. I totally LOVE it...but sometimes gets a little fuzzy.

Lately, I have been finding myself very envious of reading all the Pros posting on twitter about how their coach had them do this...or that...and how hard it was but how awesome they felt afterwards.

I write my own program (with Jm's daily---and sometimes multiple daily----review) which I base off of a couple books and advice I've gathered from multiple people. I know that what I'm doing is working...but I always wonder if its the most efficient time spent. Luckily, I feel like a lot of advice people give me is...well do a lot...of everything. I understand there is no magic button to push. This sport is hard work. It's a lot of hard work. You want to be a good biker? Ride your bike. I honestly think this is why I love it.

Theres just always that little bit of my brain saying...well that was hard...but was there something I could have done to make it better? I almost get trapped in an endless cycle in my brain reviewing over and over what little things I could have done to make it a little harder or more beneficial.

Well, mega-week, I'm looking you right in the face. Easy bike, big swim plus mini run planned for tonight. Mega bike friday tomorrow plus recovery swim. Saturday long run, moderate effort bike. Finally Sunday longer bike, medium run, long swim.

Bring it on.

Love, Erin

I found this the other day on one of my memory cards. Just made me super emotional.
