Teacher in Training

Yesterday was not a very good day. It was one of those days where like everything goes wrong. I was going to swim in the morning but forgot until I was already in the shower which messed up my timing. MAJOR traffic going into work and eight million little things took control of my day.

Still getting to get into the routine. Today I was about to get my long run during my long lunch. But I’m also starting to feel a little run down. I might need to take a rest day soon but I also don’t really want to. I’ll figure that out tomorrow if after I walk

Yesterday was a little tough but nice. Had my first “brick” which is a ride followed immediately by a run. Wasn’t planned that way for me but was how the timing worked out. It’s going to take some time to get used to being on the bike again. Probably doesn’t help that I was riding

Still work on the routine. Last night I didn’t get my run in until around 7:40 or so. That took a lot. I was hungry but I couldn’t eat before I ran which meant that I didn’t eat until late which meant I was up later. I can’t do the up past 10 thing on

Got the swim in yesterday! This is going to definitely take some getting used to. Glad I got it in though. I’m thinking that until the season is over in mid October that I’ll swim two nights a week, Tuesday and Thursday, and start adding some cycling in as well. Today is a run, which
