training round-up, week ending 12-30-06

so this was recovery week, and a 10-day trip to visit the folks. i pretty much did piddly-doo. which was expected and planned. i needed a rest, even though i'm still having anxiety attacks wondering if i'm losing all the conditioning i worked so hard to get (yeah, you get this all the time once you go Ironman).

for a couple of days my diet went to all hell, with mostly fried food and fat-rich cakes and desserts. but as is always the case whenever i visit my parents, my overall caloric intake went down, so i probably ended up losing some weight. so maybe it'll be all right in the end. we'll see.
