People often ask me if I'm going to go for my third degree.I'm technically eligible in May 2013.
On the face of it, it sounds a little ridiculous. I'm getting increasingly creaky and having trouble getting back in shape after my Nov-March injury fest. Yet, hope springs eternal and frankly, I'm not quite ready to retire to the rocking chair. So in my mind, Plan A goes like this:
Next year...June 2011-June 2012: Return to running, do some short triathalons, take up yoga to improve flexibility and core strength, get fit with strong cardio again. (remember, it was just a year ago that I pumped out 14 minute two miles).
Then...June 2012-May 2013. Go through cycle, strong and fit. Ideally, I'd like to get my flexibility, cardio, and sparing to a point where I can spend a few months in the class with the instructors. That's an extremely lofty goal given where I am now. Still it's a goal. And it would be cool.
Next steps: rebuild fitness and flexibility. Start running et al...Keep dreaming.
