Well day two was just half of a success. It was raining all morning which meant biking and riding were a no go. I tried waiting as long as I could to see if it would stop raining, but it never did. So I finally decided to pull out my trainer for my big and pedal away. Doing bike drills outside mentally is so much easier then staying in one place and doing the drills. So not only were the drills physically tough but it was also mentally tough as well. After the drills on the bike I was hoping the rain would have stopped so it never did so I was never able to get my 20 min run in. I debated going to the gym to do the run but it would have defeated the whole point of the run since it was suppose to be a brick run. I was just glad at least I was still able to get the drills in though.
Day three was a successful day!!!! It was tough waking up at 6:15 am to go to the pool to go swimming though since I didn't get home from work till after 11pm the night before. Misty and I swam 3,500 yds today and it was a really good swim. I went to a new club that Misty is a member of, and they had an outdoor heated pool. So we decided to take our training to the outside pool instead of the indoor one. It was about 40 degrees outside but the pool water was warm and it was a prefect way to start the day. When we started swimming it was still dark out so it was nice to enjoy the morning swimming as the sun came up. I am really going to try to get back there to swim. The swim was an aerobic workout which was good. It was also nice to have Misty there to swim with, even though we didn't do much talking just knowing someone else was there doing the workout with you was helpful. After the swim I tried to hurry home to see if I could see Jordan before he left for work but I missed him. So know I'll have to wait till after midnight when I get home from work to see him =( I also went to the gym again today and did an awesome arm workout with my trainer Pamela! I was really surprised I was able to get through the workout have just swam.
All in all, I know it is only day 3 but physically I am feeling good, just a little tired but I am always tired and always have lack of sleep. So it's nothing I'm not use to. One thing I know I am going to have to figure out a little better is managing my life right now. Pretty much two full time jobs, one: my real job and two: training it is really tough trying to fit everything on and still make time for everyone else. So I really think this is going to be my biggest challenge. I am just so glad I have a supportive family and friends! I hope soon things will start lining up and falling into place so I feel like I am not all over the place and losing my head.
Tomorrow after work I am hoping to get a few things done before Jordan gets home and then he is going to join me for my training run! After we run we have plans to go see a movie I can't wait. Until tomorrow or Saturday it's back to work
