It has been a long week. I've been up late practically every night trying to get a bunch of chapters edited. Thankfully, the deadline was moved from Wednesday to Friday and I just got them done.
My running schedule is all screwed up, too. I got my long run in on Saturday and ran Sunday. I ended up skipping Monday and Tuesday, although Tuesday is technically my rest day. I did my 7-mile tempo run and was off on time just a bit but chalked it up to a serious lack of sleep. I guess I did my first brick workout as I then went to my spinning class after a two week hiatus. It felt really good to ride, although my hips are sore today.
Today, I should have run 6 miles but between trying to entertain Emily, run some errands, get my work done, it just didn't happen. I'll get in a run tomorrow and Saturday, but will have to skip Sunday as there just won't be time. Hopefully next week, things will get somewhat back to normal.

Don't you hate when that happens? That's why I don't follow training schedules to the letter. Too hard to balance that and life. Life always wins. Don't beat yourself over it. You'll be fine.
Bricks, eh? I haven't done them yet. Everytime I get off my bike I just want to sit down someplace until I get feelings back in my toes. We can share our pain of doing this tri thing. :-)
I have a bad feeling this is what it is going to be like for the next month - next weekend is my only free weekend until Memorial Day - I think the running will keep me sane :-)
With the Tri, I really don't quite know what I'm doing. I don't really have a training schedule and probably would be a couple weeks into if I did. I guess I'm hoping the running and spinning will be there, just need to work on the swimming.
We'll get through it, though. You always need a new challenge, right?
BTW, for a little inspiration, check out www.iwannagetphysical.blogspot.com - it's Steve in a Speedo's report on his half ironman. Obviously a way longer distance than I'm prepared to do at this point but it is a really neat race report.
Keep those toes in check :-)
Kelly from the Blue Dawgs gave me a tri training schedule. I can't seem to find your e-mail address. Could you send it to me again and I can forward the schedule if you want? jsteindl@yahoo.com
Wow, you sound busy...and sounds like you have MY schedule! :-) I know how you feel, and Joe is right, Life always wins. Just keep plugging away.
I hear ya! I have a training schedule and I am constantly having to rearrange things; my son, hubby's work travel, my work. I did my first brick on Thursday so I feel you. I think it's great we manage to do anything at all.....
