Getting restless

I am sure it's no surprise to you that I'm getting restless.  After 8 months of following a programme it is difficult just to stop and do nothing.  So tonight I'll be playing my second round of golf in as many days and I have a competition on Tuesday so I need to get my handicap back before then!  I had a sports massage today and Grant was gentle with me but we both agreed my legs were in much better shape than expected.  However this doesn't mean I should rush out and start training hard - I know they aren't ready for that yet.
I will give it one more week and then start light training.  I am considering a half ironman in August which gives me 10 weeks to get ready.  Based on where my fitness is at this shouldn't take too much time but I need to treat it with respect - every distance is hard if you have a go at it rather than just waltz around the course - never was a good waltzer!
I have a run training camp in September and a 16 mile race in November so plenty of "stepping stones" to compliment my Marathon des Sables training.  I hope to meet up with someone who will point me in the right direction and may be able to put together a training schedule for me as this is new territory for me.
So one chapter closes and another one begins.  This is what life is all about.  I'll touch base next week when I've started my light training.
