Tuesday killed me. In addition to the swim and brick, I played basketball late- until 10. I did all of it in the afternoon. It wasn't a good afternoon. The rest of the week I was constantly on the verge of quitting. I could have easily just not done any of the workouts each day. I had plenty of reasons, or excuses. My bike is back in the shop. It needs a new headset. I rode Tanner's bike today. It didn't really fit me, but I put in the three hours anyway. I'm glad I did. I missed a bike workout. My bike was getting fixed, but I could have ridden a different bike. I chose to sleep. I'm glad I did. My best workout was a straight 3000yd swim. It felt great. I did it in the morning and the rest of the day was super.

Next week I really want to try to get workouts done early in the morning and get to sleep early. We'll see what happens.

This week was good. I did the long ride on Monday. That was fun. I just finished my 90 minute run. I've been listening to Coldplay when I run at night. Viva La Vida has been the album I listen to the most. I'm 42 and there's a song called 42 on the album. Tonight towards the middle of my run, I could see the stars clearly, and this song was playing. I plan on living to be 110 years old, but when I listen to this song it helps me realize that I'm not going to be in this mortal existence forever. One line says "time is so short, and I'm sure there's something more." The last line of that song repeats, "You thought you might be a ghost. You didn't get to heaven but you made it close." My thoughts then turn to the things I do in this life, those people who are important to me, and what I could do to help them. I've really been enjoying nightime runs lately, and tonight was no exception.

I thought for sure this would be a great week of training since I had vacation. Well it was a WASH! I was so excited to be at the beach, running and biking, and getting some open water swims in. Well I forgot my wetsuit. I would also add that I definitely need family support to get out and get the workouts done. This week I'm going to use more of that morning time when everyone is sleeping. Also, my nutrition has been terrible this week. I can't wait to see my weight on Monday.

I did have a great run on Monday evening. I ran up a hill for 30 minutes and then as I turned around, there was a great view. On my left I could see a full moon. To the right was the setting sun. I then proceeded down the hill with a view of the pacific ocean. This was a great run.

This week's goals: 1. Get all trainings in.(4hr bike) 2. focus on nutrition-Michi's ladder.

Two weeks in a row of completing my training goal. Except Tuesday I was suppose to do a brick. I rode a bike to basketball, played basketball, and rode back. I'm calling that a brick. I made up the 15 minutes cycling today on my long ride. The long ride was fun today. I'm starting to change my attitude about cycling. Maybe that will make me faster. I am so slow.
