Goofing off has been my MO this week. I felt like yesterday was a reasonable taper day; nice bike ride, nice swim. Today, however, I managed to waste most of my day doing mundane household chores like cleaning the kitchen and putting together Ivan's new high chair.
If I were living the disciplined life of the athletes that swim in the fast lane in our swim class, I would be up early and have my main workout accomplished before their kids wake up. When I was doing speed sessions and running early on Saturdays, I was generally getting in two good workouts before 7:00 in the morning. That left time for Wednesday night swim, my swim group swims and a trainer ride on occasion. I could hang my whole week on getting in two early workouts.
So, no two ways about it, after I recover a bit this week, I have got to get my summer routine started and that is going to mean running before swim class on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It just does. Next week I will be finished with all my big races, and it is time to get it in gear.
Today, I finally got myself together for a run at like 2:00, then hurled my sweaty self into the shower and was late to work. Typical of me not on a training schedule and nowhere to be at 6:00 AM.
Also, I got in a yoga session. It felt so great, that as per usual, I wondered why I don't do it every day. Swimming tomorrow, swimming on Saturday, and hitting the REV 3 on Sunday. Golly, I am soooooo relieved that I am doing the Olympic distance. SO RELIEVED.
Watching The September Issue about the making of the September issue of Vogue. I can tell you right now, it is going to make me want clothes. Anna Wintour does it to me every time.
Pic of me running a marathon I wasn't really prepared for, but it went reasonably well. I like a prepared marathon better.
