Now What Do I Do?

It has come. I knew it would come, and it's here. There is sort of a post big-event let down that always happens. I have been living, dreaming, thinking and training for the Ironman for a year. I pushed through the doubts, the bad training days and all of the ups and downs of preparing for an Ironman. I ran through the whole thing in my mind everyday. Now, the thing is done and I feel somewhat aimless. After a few days off, I have continued to train, but with a lot less focus and purpose. I continue to run with the L.A. Leggers, in fact we are scheduled to run twenty miles this weekend, but there is no specific goal. I think I am going to have to figure out something or I am afraid I might lose interest.
