Ice cream still in season December 12, 2005
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentFirst, the bad news, it was raining outside. I set my alarm at 4am but for some reason woke up at 7am…This usually happens when I'm wiped out the day before, but…I didn't feel wiped out yesterday, guess my body was. No ride today, dang it!!! I lost a good opportunity to ride 100km, gonna have to cover it up with weekday rides and next week's LSD.
So, I spent most of today either thinking, reading or sleeping. There was this one interesting book that I bought, "Ichiro's 262 messages". I read the first few pages and it got me into reading, which rarely happens:-)
Hmmm…Other thoughts; I gotta get back to running. I just don't have time…NO, that's only an excuse, I've gotta make the time. "When?" is the question. I thought a bit and came up with, "In the morning." Which means, I'm gonna have to sleep earlier. I want atleast 7hours of sleep every day. I wake up at 7am on every school day and if I want a 10km run, I need to get up at 6am. So, I have to sleep at 11pm which absolutely will not happen on Wednesday because the swimming pool is 1hour away and the swim finishes at 9pm, add up the time to change clothes and I'll be back at 10:20pm or so. Then, eat, brush my teeth, blog and sleep. Nope, that's impossible. So, I will have Thursday as my rest day for running. I'll run on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and weekends. That's just a test for this week. I'm finallly understanding the complexity of training for a triathlon, 24hours a day just isn't enough…
I also went out to get some toys for my bike:-) It felt weird watching 4people eating ice cream at the entrance of the store. It's December and people are still eating it. Even on the way to the store, there were like 3people holding little tents to sell ice cream. Well anyway, I bought a thing that looks just like one of those "Bento box"es but the difference is, it's made by Topeak. Also bought a handy tool from Minoura and some long finger gloves from Giant.
The left pic is my new gloves with my cat and the right one is the computer I bought for my mtb just the other day.
Tomorrow: Gotta go for a ride after school and get those kilos in…After that will be the torturing swim, don't worry, I'll get used to it soon…I hope:-)
