Retirement

I was frustrated at having only enough time to do 5.5 miles today before work. I had hoped for 8.5, including my tempo workout. But sometimes the training just doesn't fit.

Until recently, I've not been able to imagine a scenario in which I considered myself ready for retirement. I like the challenge, I like the strife, and I like the money. But Denise made an observation that displayed more insight about myself than I have. She remarked that I would retire to have more time to train. I instantly realized the truth in this. At this point, my body is adjusting to 50 miles per week. I sense that I will want to take myself to another level with training at 70 or 80 miles per week. I will half to be retired for this.
