Tri Dreaming

Wow, two days in a row... is it a new record yet? So all that talk about really picking up the workout effort... I think I succeeded last night. I went straight to the club after work with the plan of going to body pump at 7:10 and squeezing in a run before that. Well, both happened which is good- but for some reason I really payed for it. I ran 4.5 at a somewhat reasonably pace... at some points maybe a little fast for the way I was feeling but by the end it felt good. As time allowed, I pretty much finished up and went straight to body pump. Needless to say, I had nothing left whatsoever. My legs were cashed and then I bumped up the weight on my chest track early on in the hour which pretty much cashed my arms for the rest to follow. As badly as it hurt... it really felt good to know I was working that hard. Maybe that was my turnaround.

Followed it all by chinese and the remainder of the WI/MI basketball game. Then I pretty much fell asleep as usual. I'm not sure what I can do to stay awake, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly accept them! I know the easiest and most blatently obvious one is to get more sleep, but with me that doesn't seem to work. Actually I usually have more energy the less sleep that I get. Lately I've been getting about 7 or 8 hrs a night (well adding in all the premature napping I'm doing while I'm supposed to be doing something else) and I can't seem to keep my eyes open. It must really suck for anyone that tries to do stuff with me after 10pm. I'm assuming that eventually my body will adjust to the changes, but in the meantime, it's somewhat frustrating. Too many things to do, too little time!

Tonight is volleyball night. This is 2 of 2 that I have to work so again, although I don't want to be there, I'm getting paid to play volleyball. Actually, tonight I'm going to sneak in a swim during one of the hours. That way I won't have to rush there right after work. I'm not yet sure what workout I'm going to do, but I'm going to aim for at least 2200 yds. Depending on how I feel after last night, that maybe be reasonable or might be a dream. I guess we'll find out.

I guess that's it for now. Happy Thursday... just 2 days left. I actually have the weekend off for once! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am!

Did I mention that it's -6 degrees out right now with a windchill of -20, or something ridiculous like that. I think it's almost too warm for me, I'm thinking about moving North. Or maybe East. At least they don't have to leave their house! I told the guys I was going to call in frozen today. They laughed, but I could tell they were wishing the same thing. Maybe I could make it an organized event!

Happy training!
