Tri Dreaming

Thought I'd try again today to see if my comments area shows up... I'm not holding my breath. While I'm here I might as well add some value to this blog. Hmmm... didn't do anything last night- I justified that with the hope that relaxing will battle off a cold if it is contemplating becoming a hassle. Today I did manage to get in and do body pump (weight lifting) which really didn't feel bad at all. I can tell I've lost a lot of muscle though. I am supposed to be lifting for my knees anyway so I figure that I will try to add in 2 days of bodypump back into the schedule and then just do the squats and lunges without weights on the 3 (and 4th if I'm really feeling it that week) just to give that extra little push. I think I will feel better about my body and my muscle by adding this back in. I'm not going to attempt to bulk, but I have been feeling weak in comparison to last year and I'm wondering if that has something to do with the lack of lifting. I'm sure a lot of it is also due to the extreme distance and frequency that I have been going after, but you never know...

I plan to get a bike ride in during work (fingers crossed that the rain will not come again today) and then either a quick pilates session after work, or maybe a swim. I'm going to try to get to the freezing cold lake tomorrow to help a co worker prepare in open water for his first sprint this weekend. He is actually training for the Ironman as well, but he is worried about his swim so I said I would help him out. He is a good ali to have in the company as well... a product manager of sorts. Hilarious guy outside of work. I think I will like him more once I can get him in an out of office environment. It was nice because he gained some respect for me once he saw I could swim. It's a start!

I'm babbling again... show me a comment section!!
