...bottom of the barrel

It’s been a bit since I posted a real blog. Of course I screw around a bit but, nothing of interest. Another week has gone by and I’ve been crushing the shit out of my workouts. I don’t know what’s going on in the pool but, every time I finish a warm-up I go out hard in my first set then hammer for 90 minutes. Yes, I’m sore as hell from P90x and re-introducing the bike again but, I am amazed at how fast I’m becoming. I cut back to 3 swim a week at around 20 k. I will add a Wed. double real so that I can have a 12-14k day. I’ve been fighting an ear infection for almost 3 weeks now. Comes and goes. I thought I had it all figured out…Then life screws with I all. It appears as though I’m on my own again at work. This is tough because the workload doesn’t change. The stress brought on by recent commitments is driving me crazy. I think I can only swim so hard for so long before it catches up. I do sort a lot out during a hard pool effort. The best part is that no matter what is bothering me I can hit the pool and as long as I’m moving nothing else matters. Hence the hard 8k swim on Wednesday. I was trashed when it was over but, everything seemed so mush simpler. I only wish I could sleep at night. I have so much in the works right now that the gable just scares me. Do or die right???

In a positive note, I am attempting to aquire a cx bike. Cyclocross is something that looks really fun to me and I plan on using the bike in some early season outdoor efforts...and in the rain. Great, more race fees right?? I'm pretty excited but, on the other side maybe I should use the money for something else. I did work hard to ensure a good bonus, coming in on the holidays and at 2 am and stuff but, i still feel I shouldn't haven't. Maybe I just don't want it brought up in a divorce record...ha
