Busy day.  Eye doctor appointments for me and the kids, then got the workout in before going to yoga.  Yoga was much needed and very refreshing.

Ran while Madison was at volleyball practice, but in the rush to get everything together and get her there I forgot my chest strap for the heart rate monitor. Oh well. At least I had the garmin and could get time and distance.

B.R.U.T.A.L. ride. Winds of 15-20mph. I could have wimped out and done the ride on the trainer, but I know I can't wimp out on race day, so I headed out. This was a solo ride, which made the mental side of staying out in the wind that much tougher, but I got it done. It wasn't far, it wasn't fast, and it wasn't pretty, but it's done.

I'm usually a bilateral breather. Someone at the open water swim last week said something that got me thinking, though. He said he heard a pro speak and although most pros CAN breathe bilaterally, in races most of them DON'T. They need to breath every couple of strokes because of how hard they are going, so they usually breathe to one side. I had never thought about this. Tonight, I tried breathing to one side while doing my sets. Maybe it made me a little faster, maybe it didn't. But, when pushing (as in the 50s) it did seem like it was not as hard on my body as far as breathing. It seemed a little weird, but maybe something to think about.

This was suppose to be done as a brick, but circumstances dictated otherwise. At least I got it done.

Sweat fest and suffer fest after getting home from the volleyball games. I was starving as I had not eaten dinner.

Things have been crazy busy.  Sorry for the lack of responses to inspires lately, but it's chaotic.  I sometimes respond to inspires while slow at work, but that's been busy, too.

I am thinking I may have to rearrange more of my training schedule.  I had originally thought Tuesdays would kind of be my day off, but after today, I am thinking I need to make Wednesday's my rest day.  Madison is in a summer volleyball league that started today and goes through the middle of June.  Games are on Wednesday nights.  Because of where they are played, I don't have time to get my workout in before we have to leave.  Tonight she had games at 6:00 and 8:15.  Not enough time to come home in between, and I didn't take my bike with me because I don't know the area.  I was supposed to do a brick workout tonight, but got the run in between games on the track at the school and then did the bike when I got home.  This meant getting in bed at 11:00 which is way too late for me.  So, until her league is over, I think I'll move Wednesday's workouts to Tuesdays before yoga and then take Wednesday's as rest or easy days.  I can still run on the track between games if I want, but I have the option to not worry about it.
