6:57 pm

So, I didn’t get up early this morning when the alarm went off to train for the myriad of races this season and training just started last Sunday.

I’m already feeling like it may be too much, like I need one more day off than one.

My training schedule tells me I have a 35 minute swim, but instead…I opened a bottle of wine.

Adam is at a late meeting and won’t be home for a while.

The kids MUST go to bed soon.

The thought of going to the gym and getting wet and grinding out a workout sounds just foul.

So, I won’t.

I am NOT a rule breaker.

I’m not sure this is a good sign.

As visions of triathlons danced in my head

I have been getting all geared up figuring out my summer race schedule. There is a sick five year plan in place, which I am not ready to divulge, but this year looks like this:

May – ½ Marathon
June – Sprit Distance Triathlon
July – Olympic Distance Triathlon
August – Olympic Distance Triathlon (maybe)
October – Marathon

And last night, I had my first of the season triathlon failure dream. I remember that I had one last year as well. And now, I am going to start keeping track of them.

My dream consisted of Adam and me going to the race. He was with me at the beach where the race was going to start. I got in the water and warmed-up and then came back out to talk to him. After discussing something or other I mentioned my bike and then quickly came to the realization that I totally forgot to bring my bike. And there I stood on the beach, ready to start the triathlon with no bike to begin the second leg of the race.
