Wake Up Call

Last week at lunch I went for my first run of 2010. It was quite a wake up call. I didn't realize how quickly I would lose my running stamina. Since November I have been training jiu-jitsu four days a week (unless I am out of town), so I haven't become lazy. That being said, I quickly realized that running and rolling are much different animals. It was a good realization to have in January as it leaves me five months to get back into triathlon condition. So I guess it is time to modify my training routine to get ready for the upcoming race season. Part of that will include getting back to attending the Recreate classes more often. The hard part about that change is I have really been enjoying the jiu-jitsu and going back to a more regular schedule at the gym will require some coordination and lots of exercise which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is time to get dedicated and work my but off so I can run the races I want this sumer.
