Tri Dreaming

Another great day in the life of me. I realize that I've gone into a funk. I'm having a hard time finding motivation to do just about anything... including workouts which used to be my saving grace. I really try hard to be positive, but I'm not really any good at that anymore either. This is coming off more harsh than it really is... nothing to worry about for sure. It's just frustrating. One second I'll be having a blast, the next I'll be really down. I think I'm letting what others say get to be more than is wise. I think I'm going to have to start building the shell back up and start focusing on what's ahead, whether it be completely by myself or not. Everyday I still get that mocking tone that I work out too much, and this is less than I was doing before. I can't wait to see what life will be like come spring. Anyway, enough of that... I just had to vent... thanks for the space.

Workouts have been pretty lame lately. I've done my usual spin classes and then a few others that I subbed for. I've gotten in the pool a couple of times, but haven't been greatly impressed with my performance. I really need to do something about that. I signed up for the masters class again this morning. Hopefully it helps me out. At least I know I'll be in the pool for an hour each week until the beginning of May. I've done a couple of runs as well. Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for 5 miles while watching the movie "Forces of Nature." I was lucky that was on because I think I would have otherwise quit much earlier on. It wasn't fast, but I logged the miles so I guess that's at least a start.

Otherwise, I've been working a lot between Trek and the club. The club was an absolute zoo this weekend. A zoo from hell and I'll leave it at that. Some people have issues and they should let them go- that's all I have to say about that.

I teach the 5:30am class tomorrow and then again on Friday. I hope to get in another swim and run for the week, but pushing that hope a little further, I'll try to get in more than that since it is only Monday. I'm setting my goals too low... maybe that's what's bringing me down. I need higher aspirations! I'll keep you informed on how that goes.

With that, I think I have brought enough darkness to the daily blog so I will stop and come back tomorrow with happier thoughts. Hope everyone's training is going well. Chris, sorry to hear your race didn't go as well as you would have liked... still sounds like you did great!
