My time after work has been getting really limited lately every night by things that keep coming up. Between two meetings on Monday that I double booked, trying to move one to Tuesday, a class on Wednesday, a party and last minute work travel at the same time on Thursday, a friend's birthday dinner on Friday - when am I supposed to train???!!!
This this has been happening a lot lately and it reminds me of why I decided to start training for triathlons in the first place. I wanted something to make me consistently exercise almost everyday. It is so easy on weeks like this to skip a night or two or all because when the meetings are over you only have an hour or maybe a little more to squeeze in training before you need to be in bed. Oh yeah and I need to find time to go to the store and cook dinner. Ugh! *collapse*
Why am I doing this? Why do I even try to squeeze in training? Because I believe that regular exercise does a body good. I don't want to get flabby and fat. I want to be healthy and be able to run long distances, bike, swim, hike, and do other activities without getting tired easily. Occasionally if I just can get to the gym before they close I won't train but I will try to schedule my evenings so I can train everyday for the most part.
Joining the Atlanta Triathlon Club is going to make flexibility a little more difficult soon when we start having group practices everyday. Their facilities are not close to my work or house so convenience will be an issue. I guess I will see how it will all play out but I know with my committment to exercise and dedication to getting to the gym regularly it should work out ok.
Hi Anna! Thanks for visiting my blog. Your story about doing triathlons is very inspiring. If I weren't so afraid of swimming, I might just do it too!
