Feel Like Restin'...

Ok I am struggling to get out of bed this morning. My body feels like resting today. I think what i will do is take tomorrow off since it is spin day. Even thought of all the workouts i'm doing right now the spin class is the one that i feel i'm getting the most benefit from.

I can't wuss out on the brick today. since thursday is valentines day and i have after work plans i will try to get something in in the morning. I aready feel like taking my week 7 rest this week but i'm only 3 weeks in!!! so it looks like i'll be working out this friday and monday. as make up days.

Monday is presidents day. so i have the day off. and friday i will have to do something if i don't do something valentines day. Either way I can't stop now.

stay tuned...

well i did workout at lunch today... dude... that was painful... that made for a long day at the office. i don't think i will plan on adding lunch workouts on the schedule. but it's nice to know in a pinch and i can get it done.

SWIM

1200 meters in 37 minutes (if i can do a mile in that time that would make me more comfortable)

RUN

2.1 miles in 30 minutes. My left foot is killing me afterwards. I that is why my run time is limited. I am comitting to swimming and running at least 2 twice a week and i will try to make sure i add the run to brick. that way my legs are used to running AFTER swimming or AFTER riding.

RIDE

Will try to nite ride after work tomorrow since i won't make it to spin. I have to put in some time at work.

MOTIVATION

Just letting you all know that i think about you guys cheering me on when i'm on my long rides, run, swims. especially the swim cuz there's nothing else to really do but think. But it pushes me to go harder and not to stop. i imagine Mo saying something funny to me on the course and my girlfriend cheering me on. and after its all over collapsing in the hotel room knowing i'm an ironman.

Being an Ironman is like getting a degree from college. years after you finish nobody ever asks what your GPA (or time) was. all that matters is that you finished. I graduated with a 2.0 in college (d's and c's get the degrees) so if it takes me all 17hours to finish. fine by me. either way i am committed to do the best i can from here on out. almost 4 months away.
