When it comes to nutrition, I try to eat healthy, but I am not obsessive about it. I am comfortable eating the occasional ‘unhealthy’ meal and having an alcoholic drink now and then.  I also like to give myself a treat.

I am feeling good about training this week.  I have had great bike and run sessions. Last night, I had a fun ride in North Park with Pittsburgh Triathlon Club. This morning, the sun is shining and I’ll be able to swim outside at our neighborhood pool.

I was feeling so good last night, that I gave myself a treat.  I had ice cream.  It was not exactly the worst thing to eat, especially when I had it with a bowl of fresh fruit.  I also had a couple of glasses of wine.  

It is important to remember, that for almost all of us, triathlon is not a job.  We don’t have to religiously follow a strict diet, in order to enjoy our sport.  It is important to give yourself a treat occasionally, and I did that last night.
