Happy New Year to everyone! I know I have been slacking on my posts. I have had lots going on (besides training for an IM), but I will make more time to keep this blog up to date.
Today was a long day and prompted me to blog. I am tired. It is officially week 1 of our triathlon club IM program and it is not the working out part that is making me tired (frankly, this week was very light) it is the all the OTHER stuff in life I have to do! I knew it would be challenging at times to manage our lives and train, but I didn't expect to have trouble in week 1. I am glad I have been working out regularly since Big Kahuna in October so I am not also having to deal with being out of shape as we get down to business.
Monday was a regular morning with masters; Tuesday was a 40 min easy run at lunch and my regular 90 min spin class in the evening; Wednesday was a swim; Thursday was a swim; Friday was a 30 minute run at 8 o'clock at night after flying back from a sales meeting. I had to shuffle some workouts around this week due to work and travel, so I am already behind by 30 minutes of running! Tomorrow is Saturday and we have a 40 to 50 mile bike and I will have to tack on a 30 min run to catch up. Sunday the schedule calls for a 70 min easy run. 100 sit ups per day is now part of the routine. Oh shit, that reminds me......I am behind on those today, too!
Team Business Socks seems well-prepared to get down to business and we have had some good laughs together for sure. I think Ron mis-read the schedule one day and swam 40 MILES instead of 40 MINUTES! LOL - kidding, but we all have fun. We have taken a few pix of us out on rides, etc....that I will get and post. The photo I chose for this posting has zero to do with the ironman rather it was taken when we were home in MA for the holidays and I think Ben is cute :)
It is getting late and I need to eat dinner, get my gear ready to ride tomororw and get to bed. Workout, eat, sleep, repeat......I bet this will be a theme in this blog!!
Cheers!
Ally
