Yesterday was my anniversary and so my Corey (yes that's My Corey...I am very possessive) and I went out on a Bike Ride. (I had some training to do...) We went out last week and for the first time in my LIFE I dropped Corey. It was great. (Although now I think he may have let me drop him...) We were cruising, he let me set the pace and I turned around and he wasn't there. NOW, yesterday, we rode side by side. Just cruising a nice 20 MPH pace. On the way back, with nothing being said, he started to speed up. The nerve of him challenging me like that! We hit 28 mph and I couldn't keep it going. We had gradually been increasing our speed (he pushed, then I countered and back and forth) over a 10 minute time period. I got dropped...it sucked. COREY'S BACK! If you have ever ridden with Corey then you know that he is not human.
I got my ride in and followed it with a Swim. A GREAT Swim. One of those swims that you go "Dude I ROCK in the water". It was a swim that I decided my new name should be NEMO. I was able to swim, flip turn and swim some more. 2 hours of just swimming. Very Zen like. I was able to plan for my upcoming trip to Moab, my grocery list for the week, which races I would like to create over the next two years, and what changes I need to make to my funeral outline. (There should be no questions about what I expect at my funeral)
Then we come to today...suppose to do a 7 mile run. Didn't happen. Cleaned my car, organized my business cards, emailed anyone I could. A run, I did not. Corey said it was my body telling me to rest...I think it's me being LAZY. Now tomorrow I need to run and swim, I can't leave that section blank in my training log. It just wouldn't be right.
The weather is actually perfect for a run, but now the sun is setting and it's too dark for me to run, and leave my daughter home alone. Guess it will be a long day tomorrow..slamming down the trainings.
5 Weeks to GO!!!!
