The other thing, the thing

The other thing, the thing I didn’t mention yesterday, that’s taking up a huge chunk of my time lately is my crazy triathlon training schedule. (By the way, Operation: Get Up Earlier began today. I got to work at 8:15. YEAH!)
Anyway, back to the tri training. Six days a week! I didn’t think I could handle it, but here I am four weeks into a ten week schedule and I’m on track. The only thing that threw me off was the trip to Atlanta — I missed two swimming workouts, and a 25-mile bike ride had to become a 45-minute ride on the stationary bike. Saturday’s urban adventure race took the place of a 6-mile run. And this Saturday I’ll have to do another 3 miles before or after the Lunar Rendezvous Run to get in my scheduled 6.
But things are going well. I’m really proud of myself for sticking with this so far. I’ve found myself needing more sleep, of course, and crashing at 10 p.m. is now a regularly occuring event. I haven’t lost any weight, which is disappointing, but then, I haven’t been watching my eating either. (Actually, I may have replaced some fat with muscle.) If anything, this training makes me hungrier.
I watched the All-Star game last night, or at least had it on in the background while I did my daily email-cleaning, website-updating routine. I can’t believe the AL won again. On its last strike. Sigh. I’ve had a hard time keeping up and getting into baseball this season, especially with the Astros being so streaky. And the solution to their woes is apparently Aubrey Huff, who they just picked up from Tampa Bay. Jason Lane gets optioned to AAA. Random.
