Countdown

Well, it's getting ever-closer to the start of an actual training plan - the week of Feb. 15 is when the 30-week Be Iron Fit (I hate that name, btw) plan begins - and I'm 50 percent nervous and 50 percent excited to start up again.

It's been a long time since I had a structured, "you-really-need-to-do-a-certain-discipline(s)-today" workout routine in place. The structure sure is nice, but there's a certain level of pressure to get in each day's workout(s) that really doesn't go away until it's over. Until the 15th, I'm just dabbling in all three sports, one each day, six days a week, which I think has me at a pretty fair level of fitness. Fit enough to start a plan. Or so I hope.
