This was a better week. Except for a 30 minute run scheduled last Thursday, I made every other workout for the week.
Thursday, there simply wasn't time to do the 30 minute run. I had a 750 meter swim first thing but didn't have time to run afterwards. I thought I might get it in at lunch but my lunch ended up being taken up by an appointment and I had to skip lunch and eat something at my desk. Then I thought I might be able to leave work early and get the run in before my scheduled appointment to lift weights with a trainer but I just could not leave early. Finally following the weight training, I didn't have time because I needed to go to a holiday party for work.
Although it is still tight, I am getting used to getting two workouts in a day. The occasional day when there are 3 workouts scheduled are almost always nearly impossible. I can't beat myself up too much about this though. After all, it's not like I draw a paycheck from working out. Certainly, it is important to make training a priority but sometimes, it is simply going to have to take second priority to work and life.
I am told by my buddy Patrick, that the triathlon training is going to have to begin in earnest in January. I am looking to doing the Spring runs as part of the build up campaign. In some ways, it seems so far off but at the same time I worry about whether I have enough time to prepare for this. I'm excited but I would be less than honest if I didn't admit that I am also a little afraid.
That's all for now.
Feel free to drop me a line if you like. If you have any experiences or advice you would like to shar, I would love to hear it. Also, if you have any questions, I am happy to answer those as well.
Take care.
David
