AKC 2 Already?!
In my last post I promised to write more on nutrition requirements before and after exercise. That was about 2 weeks ago. I have to apologize for my absence in the last while. Once I was feeling better at the end of April I really started to kick 'er down as my father-in-law would say. I upped my training and seriously increased my caloric intake. With all the extra training, attention to nutrition and extra work I have taken on, there has been no time to even think about blogging. Well that and any time I could have, my computer was being monopolized by my 2 boys playing their new game or my husband doing his work. AKC 2 is in a few short days and once that is over I will be able to focus once again on posting the articles that I have promised in the past. I am into my light training week now and seriously panicking about the cert. With only a few days remaining, I do not feel ready but if I train too hard this week I will wreck my body for the weekend. Major butterflies in my stomach and even though I was exhausted last night after a full day of fitness classes I could not sleep worrying about it. I have been reassured by friends that I will do fine and that AKC 2 is designed to make you worry, that sticking with it even though you are terrified is the point of it all. The Agatsu Conference is going to be awesome, and I know AKC 2 will be excellent once I get there but I can't help but worry. I always get like this before important tests or competitions. (even Ultimate Frisbee tournaments, really) This time it is just amplified by the fact that I am travelling to a major city all by myself. Not to sound all wussy or anything but any major trips I have taken have been with my husband or the time I went to the Netherlands it was with my sister and we had family waiting for us at the airport in Amsterdam. I have flown home to Regina alone and to Calgary but Regina is home and a very small city - no worries there, Calgary is familiar enough and again I have family. Adding to all of that, I always freak when I go somewhere and leave my boys at home. I know they are ok, they are always looked after and with someone I trust. This time they will even be with my husband enjoying a boys weekend. I think it is more difficult for me to leave them than it is for them not having me at home. When you put all of those things together - wow - I am a mess! It feels like just yesterday that I decided to take a chance and try for something that I hadn't planned to do for another year. Now, I am wondering where the last 6 months went. Well, ranting done, it is time for me to go swing some iron and make sure I am completely prepared for the weekend ahead.
I will try to blog this weekend and share my thoughts, successes and failures as I navigate Canada's largest city and attempt to achieve some pretty awesome things.
Thank you for sharing in this with me.
