This week is the official start to my Ironman training program.  I am using a 24-week plan I found on Training Peaks that is targeted for hilly courses such as Lake Placid.  I have lots of emotions as the official training begins.

On one hand it is hard to believe the start is here, because it just seems like yesterday that I was registering for the race…but on the other hand, I selected the plan back in December, so it seems like a while that I have had the plan ready to go.  Most importantly, I am excited that it is here.  This is a huge goal and I am ready to start working toward accomplishing my goal.  I know that there is tremendous work ahead of me, but I am ready to get started.   There has been so much anticipation leading up to this point.

During my training, my plan is to take one week at a time/one workout at a time.  I know with the volume that the plan includes, the amount of work can seem overwhelming.  I am going to try to keep it all in perspective and focus on working to the best of my ability.  I also know that I will have plenty of highs and lows so I will aim to keep my eye on the prize.
