Tri Dreaming

Yeah! Two days in a row! This should count for any missed opportunities that arise in the weeks to come right?

Quick update... Class went well yesterday- lots of fun actually. I had a newbie that seemed to have fun and a guest appearance by a man I haven't seen in a long time. Funny enough, he coerced his copartner into attending as well- on a day that I was playing his favorite songs. Must have been in the cards. Anyway, it was cool, except for the fact that my body is cashed (especially my legs) and they weren't ready to work as hard as I pushed them. I had planned on running or doing some strength work yesterday but thought that I would benefit more from taking the rest of the day off. Saw the long awaited "Pirates of the Caribbean" last night which was good, but not exactly as I had expected. Very entertaining though. Johnny Depp was pretty funny.

So much for benefiting form the light day yesterday. My workout sucked today, forcing me to go back in tonight to finish it off. The plan was to go to step (as a warmup since I don't get too much from the class) then run an easy 4 miles and then swim for a min. of a half hour. Step went fine, but I could tell I was dragging a bit. The run flat out sucked. I was already warm so I just started jogging at 10 min/mi and could immediately tell I was going to suffer for the next 40 minutes. It never felt better and I pretty much just forced myself to finish. I wasn't falling off the treadmill... but more so it just never felt good like most of my runs have lately. More discouraging than anything else. Anyway, I got off after running 4 then walking/cooling down for 1.5 miles to realize there was no way I was going to get in the pool. I have to play volleyball tonight though so I think I'll try to get in the pool prior too. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

That's about it. Thanks for linking me to all your blogs. I really enjoy reading how everyone is doing. You keep me going... and entertain me to say the least. Oh, and Chris- that was an awesome reason to do a marathon- keep up the good work!

Did I mention it's supposed to snow tonight!! Bring on the xcountry skiis!! (Feel free to take bets on how long I'll be singing that tune!)
