Got my butt kicked

Well first, I have some stomach bug, I have been fighting it since the weekend but its just not going away. We skipped our game on Monday night and both crashed after work. The sleep definitely helped a bit. But then Phils sister called and had to fly in to calgary and then fly out the next morning so we were up at 1 to go pick her up and then I dropped her off at 5:30. So we were back to being tired. Tuesday there was no way I was going to make it at work all day so I took the afternoon off and went home and slept until 4! That helped so much!! I was still nauseous when I ate but atleast the spins are gone! I ran a bunch of errands and decided one more day to recover was needed. I couldnt leave the house again due to stomach issues anyways.

This morning I had my second bike class...Oh my gosh...KILLER! We did rolling hills and kept increasing the tension until we were standing and then after 20 minutes we got off and ran 4 laps off the bike. This was my first experience running off the bike and my legs were like jelly!! Then we ran back to the bikes and did it all again! After the second run I was really struggling! The people in my class are fast and I am sure slow! I am going to have to definitely step it up!!!

So some personal things I learned this morning...I have a lot of negative self talk. Everytime it got hard my mind said I should just stop because I couldnt do it, or I didnt want to hurt myself, or any other number of excuses....BULL!! I can do it and today I spent a lot of time turning that negative talk into positive and it worked! I was able to dig deep and get it all done! I am super pround of myself today!

I also relalized how important nutrition is and I want to make sure I am starting to eat better to help with the training. Starting with my hydration. Today I need to make sure i get in all my water!

Tonight I am goign to go for a run and I do have my swim stuff in my car so depending on how late I get off of work I may go for a swim too. I just dont want to overdo it! I also need to do my strength training. My plan for the run is to go do some hill repeats near our new place. Lets hope I can do it! Its a long long LONG ass hill! Perfect for pushing myself and training! Oh and then maybe some yoga and roller work before bed to stretch it all out.

Speaking of yoga. Today was signup day for yoga at work! YAY! This last session was so good that I am signing up for mondays again....AND Wednesdays! I think it will be awesome after bike class today!
