I am sitting here at work exhausted thinking I have 6 more
months of training and I am so tired. This is one of the most exhausting thing
I have ever taken on. Really it is right up there with sleepless children. Hahaha!
The good news is, I am completely committed and want this. I can overcome tired for the end result. This week I have moved over a lane in master swim
class, at the crack of dawn Monday mornings. I have become faster since I
started so I guess you call it graduating. I now swim with two guys who are
absolutely killing me. The two guys are a bit faster than me in the water, so
they push me to exhaustion. We circle swim one behind another so you can feel
someone right on your toes, which means…you need to move faster through the
water! It is such a great workout. I really enjoy my new swim buddies but miss
my girls in the other lane. They were fun and encouraging.
Double work out days have been the toughest. Yesterday I
swam for about an hour (1.5 miles) and ran 41 minutes at a pretty good pace. I
had a friend who is much faster than me pushing me. Boy did she! It felt good
but exhausting. I have to get used to being tired and how to function
especially with my child who needs my attention in the evening for school work
and other things. But I signed up for it and I am so committed it is
ridiculous. So I have to look at the bright side of things, in 6 months I could
have an iron distance under my belt. Then what? hahaha
My friend Cheryl has been a huge help. Motivational and
helping me work through the head things. She is great and looking forward to
training with her this summer, if it ever gets here. I have a lot of people who
have been so great. My massage therapist has been there with his frequent check
ins, telling me to get my ass moving when I’ve needed it and helping me out
with my sore limbs. He really is the best. So many great people in my life that
want me to succeed. I will succeed! The tired sleepy eyes will not get the best
of me.
