I have recovered well from the race and am ready to go!
It feels like the race -woke me up- from a little shut down after my week off and some down time and I am back in business. We shall see!
We had a fun ride back home that helped me get some frustration off my mind. The best way to do so was to feel that I was back to work and starting to train for Clearwater.
Never look back, not only on the course.
My first training after Muskoka was in this beautiful lake we found along the road!
I am writing on day 1 of training before CLearwater, ready to put my running shoes on and head out the door. I am so motivated I had a hard time finding sleep yesterday, I kept on thinking about how I wanted things to go in Clearwater and maybe I shouldn't have looked at my next four weeks of training and watched those Steve Prefontaine running clips on Youtube just before going to bed (bad idea)!
P.S: I never say this but thank you so much for your comments, they really help so much. Thank you particularly to one of you for reminding me about the angels on my right shoulder, the people that support me, cheer for me and follow. You are right, that energy is an amazing source of motivation.
Speaking of comments, I would love to know if you have any ideas of some great training music. I am looking into it. Need to find some new, powerful stuff.
CHEERS. And to those that are also in a final stretch, LET'S GET GOING AND MAKE IT COUNT! Yeaaahh!
Out the door now! Ciao!

Hey Magali,
ReplyDeleteAdd this to your list, if you can get your hands on it: Peter Gabriel's "Kiss of Life". I'd recommend it for when you need an extra jolt getting over the crest of a tough hill!

hey magali,
ReplyDeletei just wanted to thank you for your truly inspiring comments regarding my injury. your words captured me. i'm glad to read that you've bounced back and your spirits are once again high after your race on sunday. personally, i think that a 4th place finish at a 70.3 with a field of some of north america's top athletes is something to be proud of. i just wanted to remind you of some of the things that you told me. "I think that the athletes that make it ... are those that stay positive and consistent through adversity."
embrace that angel on your shoulder, magali! have fun out there and enjoy yourself.
peace,
tommy

Hi Mag,
ReplyDeleteI saw you this weekend on TSN. It was the Triathalon in Calgary. You were great. Good job!
I noticed on your blog that you were doing some research into running style training for hockey. My son is a 12 year old elite level hockey player, and we are starting to take our training more seriously now. Is there a place we can find your research results?
thanks,

Magali,
ReplyDeleteSome great pump up music to get going:
Invinsible by Muse or
Knights of Cydonia some band.
Hey I have been looking for information about your bike, and Marinoni's sight does not have anything about it. Have they started to sell it to the public?
Good luck with your Clearwater preparation!
Magali, you are a true inspiration. Keep working hard, getting better every single day. I mentioned you in my recent blog spot, think you should check it out. Don't let anyone train harder than you preparing for Clearwater!!! Do work.
