..........hit the bike shop and bought $21 worth of GU's and Shot Block's for my race. I swore I would never eat them again after my race back in June because I was so sick of them. But for now this is what works and I don't have time to experiment with other products/food. Suck it up Bendza!
WOD - Nada! Day off since tomorrow I will be swimming/biking. My body needs the rest even though I feel as though I should be doing something today. I feel like a fat shit! It's amazing how the mind can really mess with ya. I might doing 300 squats for time when I get home and the kids are watching TV. It doesn't really take long.
Ass is still sore but also very tight. Not bad enough to really complain but annoying enough that I know it is there. I just need a real good stretch. Plus my left shoulder is very sore today. I must have slept on it funny because I can't recall what I did to it. I hope it does not hurt in the water tomorrow because that would just suck.
So this story that I forwarded to the Tri Club about a woman, Marcie MacDonald, that swam the English Channel, when I'm feeling like I want to give up I think of her story. It is truly amazing and her blog is great. I only read part of her blog that focuses on the swim itself but well worth the read. Check it out at www.cuttingwater.blogspot.com. This is the story that motivates me. Even though this old body is breaking down a bit and soreness is settling in, I think to myself, "That is what Advil is for girlfriend! Take off the skirt!"
After the race on July 10th we are on vacation in Narragansett. We rented a house for the week and I'm trying to get things packed and get somewhat organized. Right now I can only think of my 7 hour workout on the 10th. Once I cross that finish line I can relax and enjoy the rest of my summer. I don't want to fall off the wagon and get lazy and fat, but mentally I do need the break. I'll keep working out but maybe I won't stress out so much about it. It is very easy to fall off the wagon but very hard to get back on. Why is that?
Looking forward to a long weekend of picnics, play time, getting shit done around the house and some "me" time in the water and on the bike.
Enjoy your July 4th holiday! Drink heavily, have lots of sex, smoke some pot, drive like a maniac and do everything that you shouldn't do. Now that is a good weekend!
