I have started training but seem limited on time.  I can remember feeling this way last year.  It is very easy to get caught up reading what everyone else does and give you some anxiety like "damn am i doing enough?"  I have to remind myself that its a marathon not a sprint, relax, enjoy it all, do what you can, and most of all don't overtrain! 

Joe DeSena told me he thought I trained too hard last year and he would only train for 3 months if he was doing the death race...something to think about.  I am hitting the gym and Crossfit, but need more long distance weekend things.....  have not done much running.  But I am back to my crazy circuit training (about 50% of where I want to be), eating, and have gained about 5 lbs which is a good thing.  This year I am much more concerned with a little size.  Joe gave me some great tips and I figure if he runs the thing he must know. 

Most upset that my back is  in killer pain right now.  I want to do the Arcadia workout tomorrow, Ill see how it goes..... really looking forward to next month where I have the super Spartan (with weighted vest), and the Seal Beach Death Race training...cant wait to break out the fun toys for the DR crew to play with......

Its all about balance..... I'm spending more time this year focused on my daughter.  Just signed up to coach her all stars, so that takes more....i think it will be that balance and family spirit that will give me the best chance of finishing this year...not the mileage, but the heart.....
