Just an easy spin today. Blood sugar dropped about 1/2 way through...due mostly I'm sure to lack of sleep (4 hours), and lot of caffine. Ate chocolate and had some hammer gel and I was just fine to finish. Watched ENTOURAGE and the news.

I'll go for a little swim O rama around 1pm ish
Oh, I MAY do a 1/2 IM at the end of May. It's the Black Bear Half in PA. I hadn't PLANNED on doing a half, but we wanted to take a few little trips this year, and this race is KINDA close to Mary's parents, and KINDA close to Philadelphia, so we could see family, see a niffty historic city, AND race. I WAS looking at the PHILLY TRI, but they want $160 to do a Olympic Distance, and there is NO FREAKING WAY I'm paying THAT much to race THAT little, so I'd rather pony up the same amound and get a good sized race. I'd just be pissed off if I did the other one. I can't enjoy a race if I feel like I'm just getting ripped off....soooooo, THERE ....YOU....GO. Still in the Planning phase.

Up early again. This sleep pattern has me dreaming ALOT! If this continues, I really should write these dreams down. Very strange. Having 2 or 3 vivid dreams a "night", where I might have 1 dream that I actually remember about once a week before. Also, I'm not getting much more than 6ish hours a "night" as well.

The workout:
4 x 100 (swim, kick, pull, swim)
1 x 300 free on base (moderate effort)
1 x 200 free on base (bit faster effort)
2 x 100 free on base (hard effort)
2:00 break
2 x 100 free on base (moderate effort)
1 x 200 free on base (bit faster effort)
1 x 300 free (hard effort)
This was SUPPOSED to be a 2400 yard, but I cut it short. Got kicked out of lane, and I'd rather be home with family a bit earlier. However, I did run up and do a few miles on the treadmill first.

I ate A LOT of spuds yesterday, so I needed to burn those extra unused carbs off today, therefore, I threw in a extra little run. Kept the pace kinda brisk. YE HA! TOMORROW I BEGIN USING GARMIN AGAIN!

Did some quick sets during "dinner" at work.
Still not seeing a big improvement in my Pullups, although I'm not as sore after doing them.
Rows were using different plates than at THE GYM. Lighter for sure.
Before work tonight, did TABATA squats and AROUND THE WORLDS 20 X each

8:00am DUH. I had to stay up late last night to get back into the 3rd shift kind of mind set. I TRIED to clean up my C drive on the DESKTOP, but ended up deleting something vital, because NOW my internet WILL NOT CONNECT, although my modem and router are fine, since I'm typing on the wireless lap top right now. It appears my IP address is messed up, since it's in the constant "looking for IP address" mode. HELP.
This 3rd shift schedule is kinda messing with me. Sleep is off, eating thrown off. I just don't feel like ME. Add to that, coming off an IM, and the early darkness from impending winter, and I'm a bit off kilter. Gaud, I hope I can find something else to do in 22 months that doesn't require me to rotate my sleeping pattern every few months. However, with the economy like it is, a whacky well paying job is better than NO job, so I'll suck it up if necessary.
YA HO! Computer is fixed and my new Garmin came in today! YA HOOOOOO!

Held 2 five pound weights in my hands while doing crunches, side crunches....just trying to increase the degree of insanity for the abs.
My friends
Processing your request, please wait...
I was in SUCH a bad mood when I started this run at the gym on the treadmill. To cold for outside. I was hoping the endorphins would help out a bit...and they did for the most part, but there is some lingering cloud following me around. Went to Starbucks for my recovery mocha....and I'm sitting in there, just drinking my mocha and trying to chill out. I'm in a chair that has a little coffee table next to it, and I've collected the daily newspaper on the table to read. So, I'm sitting there reading, and some old, wierd looking guy comes up and starts picking up MY paper and reading it as he's standing over top of me. My first reaction was to get in his face, but I tried to ZEN out and chill, so I just tossed my funny pages on the table, collected my mocha, and hit the door. YEA for Tuesday.
I had PLANNED on going for a swim this morning, but I JUST can't bring myself to get into the pool. I'm SOOOOooooooo UNhydrovated right now....
I have the race tomorrow, so I think I'll just do a little run. I have court later today as well. Yadda, Yadda, yadda.^^^ I'm freaking LOSING IT! I got up today and thought it was WEDNESDAY! My head is WAY screwed up today....more than usual that is. Also, I woke up in a REALLY NASTY MOOD, for no apparent reason, and I'm still in a funk. Very strange, as I am almost NEVER in a bad mood for ANY reason. What the hell is going on? 3rd shift FUNK? Post IM blues? Money? Economy? Failure to pick lottery numbers? I have no good reason to feel this way. Hmmmm. FYI, race in THURSDAY, with is THANKSGIVING DAY. Geez.
