Coming to you live from Mexico

Well I am on day number 7 of our Mexican vacation. Even between the chick drinks and sunning myself I got in a few miles of running on the beach in the morning.

I even managed to read two triathlon books in hopes getting a training plan and a mindset to concur my goals this year. In soMe ways the books seemed to contradict each other but I learned alot from each book. I will even buy one of the books to highlight and refer back to during the season.

Well I better sign off and get some clothes on, and prepare to take a nap when I get back to the room. This evening will be dinner, drinks and some time in the hot tub.

The purpose o this post is that if Youve lost your workout mojo then take a vacation. It's done me wonders.

I am so jealous!!  I want to drink chick drinks and sun myself!!

I'm glad you got your mojo back!!  Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!

Which of those books did you find most helpful?  I've been thinking about getting one but not sure which one would be the most helpful.  Have a great remainder of your vacation but please be careful with the sun exposure.

This paast week I read the following books: "Going Long, Training for Ironman-Distance triathlons", and "Breakthrough Triathlon Training". I found them both to be very informative, but they both have quite different theories.

The book "Going Long" emphasizes a structured plan, and time vs. distance. Where as the other book really looks at the body, and listening to the body more than following a structred plan.

I found them both very good and very informative, and look forward to finding other similar books to see how its any different. Heck, I might even find a 3rd theory.

I have also read a book called something like "Your First Triathlon". Its a great beginner, but I was looking for something to help build me towards my goal of a Half Ironman this coming year.

Hope this helps and if you have any other information, feel free to yell..

There are triathlon books? Tell me more!
