I am not sure what I would have said or done!<BR/>And in the sleep vs. workout debate, I vote for SLEEP.Swimming for MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129980264600591832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431778619067747592.post-60140016720122856792009-02-14T04:06:00.000-08:002009-02-14T04:06:00.000-08:00I felt like you were writing a diary about my life...I felt like you were writing a diary about my life this past week as well. No one showed up to open our pool for Masters on Wed, so missed swim. And, always my biggest challenge is should I workout (get up 4:30 a.m.) every day or sleep? It's amazing how well you are doing for little time to recover and rest!Jennifer Cunnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391871932209658428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431778619067747592.post-62958166006114696532009-02-13T18:01:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:01:00.000-08:00There will be plenty more testing workouts and day...There will be plenty more testing workouts and days on your way to IMLP. Sometimes you just need to get through them. Fast, slow, on plan or not, just finish it. Remember these are not only workouts for your physical self, but also your mind and spirit. Especially in the Maine winter. When you have days like this, the "workout" might not be successful, but when you're done, put it away in the vault. When you're at mile 10, 11, 12....22 of the run in LP and you're hating life, take those workouts out of the vault. Anyone can show up and do a race or a workout. But not anyone has the mental capacity to get through the tough moments. Those vaulted workouts will give you great strength out there. Then when you hear "You're an Ironman," it will all be worth it. Keep it up.MaineSporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275717905775732245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431778619067747592.post-32461083615950387202009-02-13T15:37:00.000-08:002009-02-13T15:37:00.000-08:00Oh boy...three boys!

I should have recorded it and played it back to her in 10 years when she is 14 and grounded for breaking curfew. I hope that you have a nice 5k...and hope the lights stay on in Maine!Pedergrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542802800246141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431778619067747592.post-23084784721470816182009-02-13T08:56:00.000-08:002009-02-13T08:56:00.000-08:00That's so funny about Tommy.

I panic at not missing a work--but I too need to remember that it won't break my season. Still, it's tough to let it go.GetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.com
