Fire, Fire, Fire in my Belly!

I've taken the month of October off from structured training for the past two years to avoid getting completely burned out, and it works, more or less. Usually I get back into training in November without complaints, but also without enthusiasm.


Being sick, on the other hand, can do wonders for your drive and motivation. Now that I'm done being useless on my sickbed I have newfound vigor and appreciation for my workouts. I feel like it's time to start bustin' ass, and I can't wait to put time in the pool and on the roads and trails. For some reason I look forward to the disciplined schedule.

Now, if only the weather would start sharing my sentiments...
