The groove

First of all, I love the word groove.  I'm not sure whether it is because of the music I was exposed to in the 70's but I like it.

You will notice as you follow this blog or look at my training log on beginnertriathlete.com that I tend to get in the grove for a while and then get out of it. 

Blog entries tends to start a few weeks after the grove starts and end a few weeks before the groove sputters to an end. 

My groove creators are -

1. Great weather
2. An upcoming race
3. Training with people
4. New gear
5. Finishing workouts in bad weather

My grove busters are -

1. Travel
2. Work stress
3. Sickness/Injury
4. Finishing Ironmans
5. Sick Family
6. Darkness!

So, I've been running and now have my bike set-up for winter training.  I have the Sufferfest videos loaded onto an old laptop and a goal in mind. 

I do have some travel coming up and darkness is here for the next several months but...I think for now, I'm getting in the grove and ready to stay for a while!
