Social life

On returning from Lanzarote Ironman 4 weeks ago I have been catching up with my social life with my wife and family.  Eating is no problem as I try and put on some weight to get back to 11 stone but it isn't easy.  It's fair to say that my alcohol consumption has increased (liquid cards!) but I am still a relative light weight as I found out last night when out with a few of the "football Dads".  But this continues today as I attend "Hangerfest" music festival in Strathaven and it can compare to Glastonbury - wet, muddy and windy.  This will be followed by a 50th birthday party tonight of a good friend of mine so the alcohol theme will continue.
Tomorrow I will be resting / recovering and then on Monday back to training.  I need to get ready for the Aberfeldy half ironman in August.  I am looking forward to training again as I will begin to feel better as my body gets back to exercise.  It doesn't mean I won't be socialising in the future but getting the focus back on the goals is good for me.  It's how I work best. 
On Tuesday I am meeting with Dave from www.sand-baggers.com to discuss equipment and food requirements for MdS.  I have a lot to learn before I set foot in the Sahara Desert and I can't wait - it will be a whole new world and as a novice I need to gather an experienced team around me.
