Reset

I am in need of an emotional, mental and physical reset. The last time I did anything was on Saturday and I think this is the longest I've gone w/o training in a while. I got a new 2-week training plan (my last) from Coach Shawn, but I honestly have not even looked at it too closely.

Monday night I spent a long time going through my stuff and it brought back a lot of memories. I was up until the wee hours of the morning and only slept a couple of hours before going to the airport again. Last night I'd been up over 24 hours before I went to sleep. I only got another few hours until work worries woke me up at 4:30 a.m. and I started working. I've been on my ass in front of the computer for like 15 hours straight. Because of all of this I decided to scrap any running/biking/swimming to do a little reset.

I'm catching up on an episode of The Bachelorette to wind down then taking a Tylenol PM. I plan to get at least 13 hours of sleep tonight. Wish me luck!

I have also started thinking about what is going to excite me next in this realm of my life (training). Do I want to keep biking and swimming? Or do I just want to run? Do I want long distance, middle or short? Do I want to race or just use training to stay healthy and sane? Pursue something new or just stick with the known?

Lots of things to consider and that excites me. I am really excited about training for the marathon. I'm taking off two weeks after the race next weekend before I start. Going to take that time to decide what the plan is. I can't wait to start yoga again. Yoga will be integral. Lots of other stuff too. (I have a damn wedding to get my ass ready for too!)

Sweet dreams.

I hope that you are blissfully dreaming right now!

I think that sometimes we really do just need a break - of all sorts.

I hope you're feeling better tomorrow!

You've been on a whirlwind emotional tour with visiting your family and going through all your things.. I can imagine you are exhausted! I hope you are still in deep sleep this morning, you deserve it.

You've really done amazing with tri training this spring/summer. But Yoga, marathon training, wedding planning, that all sounds super fun for the coming months. :)

Let's get together whenever you get a break from the move! I miss you!!!

Yo! Hope you fully recovered this morning after a long night's sleep.

Don't worry about your training - sometimes life just gets in the way. You totally have the fitness to do great next weekend.
