Day 1...MY week begins...Konigssee


Well, after breakfast this morning, I left my compatriots and moved into my new place which is actually my old place where I stayed in December. We said our good byes, and I left them with a handful of Advils and off I went.......I'll probably see them everyday anyways, either at the track or at the 'pension' which is just 5 minutes away. Although Drew was a great roommate, nothing beats having your own pad.
So now I am alone, just like I like it, and now I can focus on my own routine.
Breakfast at 08:00, then a short, 20 minute, limber me up jog through the trails I used to take my morning walks on. Then back to stretch, push ups, sit ups, shower and then, 30 minutes of visualizing and timing my runs as I expect them to go. Then, of course, it's chow time. Lunches will be lite from now on.....big hearty soups, and suppers will be loaded.
I will avoid the track today and tomorrow...instead, I will do a little sightseeing, maybe in Salzburg.
I had a great email surprise this morning....since my family can't be here with me, my Dad in law, Mr. T, took a family picture in front of my parents house in Montreal where I grew up and where life started. The signs were in blue and white of course simply saying 'GO DEE GO' with my little raggamuffins' picture on them. It was an amazing surprise and it really hit me and dawned on me what I am really trying to accomplish here.......this is it.....this is the week!! Thank you so much.
Wednesday the 18th is when official training starts and the dream will soon reach its climax......I can't wait!!
