I keep thinking it’s Thursday. Damn.
Henry enjoyed deconstructing and eating his breakfast flower very much.
My breakfast was just a normal, boring breakfast. No art! There is only so much this mom is capable of when it’s Wednesday but she thinks it’s Thursday AND she’s out of coffee creamer.
So – about that indoor triathlon that I’m doing on the 31st. I signed up for the long course (600 yard pool swim, 10 mile indoor bike, 3 mile treadmill run) but I’m having massive second thoughts, only because my chest is killing me… again. Remember how it started to nag me a bit in September while I was training for the Half Ironman? Well, the pain went away for three weeks after the race (no swimming), but then I swam twice and – TADA! – the pain is back. Ugh. So frustrating. I’m not sure if I’m going to:
- Skip any form of swim training and do the long course on race day. I can definitely ‘phone in’ 600 yards.
- Skip any form of swim training and do the short course on race day.
- Or see if I can skip the swim entirely on race day.
We shall see.
Until then, I’m sticking to running and biking to get ready. I was super excited this morning because it’s actually sunny and warm (well, 50 degrees), which meant that running outside would actually be enjoyable! I think I was pushing it a bit with shorts, though.
Henry was comfy cozy in his pajamas and ‘jack.’ (He’s eating a peeled apple in that pic, in case you’re wondering…)
We did 3.0 miles together in about 28 minutes. Pretty speedy with the stroller.
