Interbody Memo

Dear Body,

I know that I have let you do your own thing since September. You had all that fun and beat yourself up pretty good. That’s fine. You did well last year. My point…it’s 2010 now. I’d say the new season has begun. Training is a little more focused now and I would really appreciate you showing up when I need you. This morning for example, 5000 yds in you were hurting real bad. C’mon now, why so tired? You definitely packed on some “extra energy stores” I struggled through 2000 more on my own. By the way, how the hell do you cramp a hamstring when all I need is upper body? I never cramped your forearm when you were doing all those shots! So basically, I just need a bit of cooperation on this. I’ll get you set up with a massage tonight and we’ll coast through the rest of the week. But, on Sunday you need to be there for this 50k. And after that, no easy go of it for a few weeks. We bike on Monday and hard swim on teusday so…I assume you understand. As a reward I’ll give you 8-10 12 oz treats after the race.

Your Friends,
Ego and Brain
