9 Months to Tri

Dead tired. Last night we got home later than usual, so it was about 8:45 when I went up to read stories to my 2nd grade kid. Turns out she had to read for 20 minutes for homework, so we decided that she should read first and then I’d read last. Sounded like a good idea until I fell asleep.

I crawled my butt out of her bed and plopped in mine, checking the clock as I crashed. It was before 10. Good. Turn off the alarm because I’d surely wake up about 6 and have plenty of time to sleep.

I woke up at 8am, surprised I’d slept 10 hours. Then woke up the wife and kid. She was late for school. Got dressed, ate, and got to work. But I was still dead tired. All day, I was tired. I told Mike at the gym today. He just smiled and said “good.” Apparently its because my body was getting used to the old workout, but this new one is kicking my butt.

As a side note, the state of being hungry all the time has eased quite a bit over the last few weeks. I now feel like its time to eat about every 3 hours, but no more constant hunger. Apparently I’ve slipped from hungry to tired. Fun is…

Today’s workout had a number of “oh, my god” moments. Working muscles I hadn’t worked before.

I also talked to Mike a bit more about the 3rd “optional” day. He thought I could only swim on Friday’s for some reason, and didn’t want me to move Friday’s weight workout to Thursday, since that would be too many weight days in a row. Once I told him that I was swimming on Tuesdays, he was happy to hear that I would in fact be weight training 3 days a week. So, that’s good.

A bit of irony hit me today. Just over a month ago, running a mile to a mile and a half was my entire workout. Today I finished my hour-long workout with a mile run. Which did in fact kicked my butt. But, still.

As I typed this log entry up, I just watched Leno put together a snickers pie. Wow. I’d like a giant slice of that. Its getting close to Pecan Pie season. One of my ’stumblers’. We’ll see how I handle those. I’m talking to Jamie tomorrow, so we’ll see what she says.
