Super Bowl Sunday

Oiy!!!

So today is the best day and one of my worst days I have had!!

So officially self-coaching starting today...

I give this part 4 Stars, possibly 5 Stars. I am probably a coach's worst nightmare. Triathlon training is my 3rd love, not my first nor second, and a distant 3rd to be honest. I agree with my friend Andrea, you could do 2 things well, but at three it's mediocre. I fit workouts wherever I can..some weeks 4 hours, some weeks 15 hours...whenever and wherever I can fit these in.

Ironman training...It's intense at times and trying to find the time to get my workouts in with all the other priorities I have going on, blimy crazy. Kids have their sport which requires 2 days a week of practice, and pretty much every other weekend its competitions, which runs like swim meets. They soak up the whole day. If that isn't enough, I work full time and the work I am doing hits right there..."like a start-up company". Oh...and throw that I am a single parent, I get to do everything. Gotta love it!!

So I have been cranky, really cranky today. Sort of a short pity party on why I can't seem to pull the ol head out of the ass and get IM CDA training underway.

I guess all my thinking I came up with this. I have my priorities right where they need to be. I have my head on straight. I put my kids first and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. There part of a team, they work hard, and are making more friends. They are doing well very well in school, so big win! Now...they could do less with the cranky mom, and that part I can fix.

So back to the best day....

In 5 short months, I'll be at CDA working toward my 3rd Ironman finish. I might have the same time, but I have a feeling that I might be able to pull a better time, with some minor tweaking of the schedule, of course.

Step 1: Get back to drinking lots and lots of water with at least 6 hours of sleep. This takes care of my crankiness.

Step 2: I need to develop a better relationship with the water. Don't know how yet, but will come up with something this week to get more motivated. Biking, no issues here in fact I love biking, can't get enough. Running, lost that lovin' feeling and thinking I may just need to take my friends advice and run more shorter runs for a bit. Just maybe when I am running well, I'll find my way back to my first love!!!

So with that, off to make dinner for the kiddos. One isn't feeling well so will get her some medicine along with some soup. Jump on the treadmill for at least an hour (yep, that will be a long run). Do a couple hours of work and off to bed. Hoping to celebrate the night with some vino,....”go packers go”, this would make the ultimate night.
