Christmas comes early

Well I got a package in the mail yesterday from Amazon. I had ordered two new Triathlon books and began reading them last night. I think there are two things that I need to really focus on for next season.

1.) Get structure - I'm going to be working with a coach for this one, but also got a copy of the "Triathlon Training Bible", to give me a little more understanding behind the science and art of training.

2.) Improve my Nutrition - I've never really been a big fan of fruits and vegitables, but I'm trying. I also got a book entitled "Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes". It might be a little more than I need, but hopefully it'll help me understand how different foods fuel the body in addition to understanding what to eat and when to eat them.

As for training, it's still somewhat on the back burner. Jen and I went to Blazers (our gym) last night, and she hit the treadmill as I hit the weights and worked on my abs. I'm really feeling my abs this morning, and it's hard to lift my arms above my head - but that's a good thing right?

I'm going to head over to the track tonight as long as the rain holds off, and maybe even go to spinning class afterwards. We'll see how the day unfolds!
