Well here we go again! IM Revenge - Rev3 Full Rev

-
Over the past few years I have kept many blogs - the journey, the journey to Ironman Florida, Shine Health and Personal Fitness, and this one, the now defunct journey to IM MOO.  While each one serves a purpose I have decided to re-launch my Journey to IM MOO blog as The Iron Seashell.  Firstly because I had to pull out of IM Moo this year, and secondly because there is so much more ahead of me! 

I have decided to log all of my endurance race specific things on this blog as I really have enjoyed looking back over my Ironman Florida blog over the past year and it is nice to have a recollection of moods, weights, fitness, etc. for me to compare to other years.  

I will still be very active in my other blog, the journey, as it is a chronicle of my lifelong journey outside of sports and fitness.   I will also be keeping up my Shine blog as it is where I plan on launching my Personal Training and Fitness information to clients.

This blog will be all races and training 100%.  My workouts, my body comp progress, my race reports, etc.  really everything sport related will be posted here as the record of my athletic progress.


The name of this blog is a take on my nickname around my training friends - Seashell.  I am a Florida girl at heart, so every time I come back I bring a piece of it with me to share with my friends - seashells!


I am the iron seashell now, and have so mch more in me!    Next stop on the Iron express is Rev3 full Rev in September.  I have some hefty goals for this race, namely training and racing revenge over IM FL. 

Until next time,

Iron Seashell

Never in a million years, but secretly in my dreams.

When I first started blogging in 2006 and joined a network of running bloggers (Running Blog Family [RBF] in da house!)  I would find inspiration in their daily musings.  I guess because I started running in order to train for a marathon -  sort of the end all be all running races back then - I felt like an insider.  I got what they were saying even if they were faster or more advanced than I.  I was one of them.   They were like me. We were runners... we got it . *pops collar.  wipes dirt off of shoulder* It was then that I discovered triathlon and stumbled upon a new group of bloggers.  They were a group of not only triathletes, but a mix of Ironman veterans and Ironmen in training.  I was enamored with their ability to not only run a marathon, but to have run a marathon after riding 112 miles (on a bike!  At one time!) after swimming 2.4 miles (in open water!) before that.  What?  I mean Who. Do...

Turning my head towards the heavens and reaching for the stars.

Why dig yourself a hole when you can be reaching for the stars? This has been playing inside my head for the past month or so now.  I am digging a hole and soon it will be one that I will be unable to get out of. When signing up for Rev3 I initially figured that I would get excited to do the race once I got into training.  Then at the start of the year when I was planning ahead to 2015 I caught myself saying every day that I was for some reason more excited about Ironman Chattanooga in 2015 than Rev3 Full Rev this year. Then I was accepted to graduate school and then life threw some curve balls my way and really taught me a lesson.  I play wonder-woman in my life but I am not wonder-woman.  I am Jenniferlyn and I am just 1 person trying to live 3 lives. Something has to give.  I am burnt out and emotionally shelled this year.  Do not get me wrong,  I am happy in life however I am exhausted and my anxiety has risen to record high levels t...

little steps

This week is a week of pushing through and getting the work done even if I am feeling tired, run down and not in the zone.  After every workout I feel so much better than I did going into it, and remembering that feeling is what is keeping me going day in and day out towards my goals. I realized a long time ago that there is not one moment in time that things click and you wake up realizing that you have arrived.  You are always someplace on the journey.  This week I am focusing on little steps and not the longer road ahead.  Monday I spent 2 hours at the gym, 1 hour working out with my trainer, then another hour in yoga as I was so tight that I had to modify a lot of the exercises my PT was having me do.  Some of the little steps that are adding up quicker than I thought have been in the area of my strength for body work.  I am able to do strict pushups now, the correct way, both wide and narrow. In November I could not do one without bein...
