Yes, it was another early start to the day. After staying out somewhat late last night making sure two "boys" stayed sober enough to not puke on my floors I was up at 5:45a. Why you ask? Well, let me tell you.
Since I loved my first half ironman SO much (really, no joke, I loved it) I decided it would be a good idea to sign up for another one this year. At the time it seemed like a splendid idea. Now, I wish I had more sense. Not that our summer has been miserably hot, but it's been hot. Even when it's 85 degrees it has felt like it was 100. We've had a few days where it has been pushing 100, but for the most part we've had a nice summer. Regardless, it has seemed HOT and I have been completely unmotivated to train. As I've mentioned before, I'm not lacking in the running department. I think I have that one more than covered. I just need to do a few runs after rides and I'll be fine. EXCEPT. I need to ride.
That is the reason I was up early again this morning. I was supposed to do a 63 mile bike ride. Yes, you read that correctly. 63 miles. I only need to ride 56 for the race, but I thought I would be an over-achiever. Well, the ride didn't happen due to rain.
As I type this sitting on the couch watching Py$ch and feeling the pain of the 14 miles I ran yesterday the rain is starting to subside, so I may actually still be able to get a 2 hour ride in before it starts raining again. If not, then I think I may get on the trainer. ARG! When you need to ride you need to ride even when you'd rather lay on the couch a nap all day.
