Sigh!

There just aren't enough hours in the day.  Yesterday I raced around doing after work errands & then off to the gym.  Yes, I was the one on the eliptical at 8:30 with my weights trying to cram two workouts into one.  I skipped my usual Wednesday night off because I knew I couldn't get to the gym on Tuesday or Thursday this week.  Tonight I'm going to the city to see Wicked with the fam.  & as much as I really do love going into the city & seeing the sites, it's just tough to schedule work, life & working out into a single day.  I don't know how people do it.

& the worst part of it all is that there is just no chance for an outside workout at least until the weekend & by the looks of it.......it's gonna snow on Saturday.  But I shouldn't say that because they've been soo off when predicting snow lately that I'm just going to pack up the WOPR gps watch & head down to my aunt's in Ocean City.  It's going to be the inagural run for the WOPR, so I should make sure that it is charged up.  It comes with a bunch of fancy things, so perhaps I should read up on it prior to taking it for its first run.

There's so many gadgets & devices, it's overwhelming & easy to get sucked in.  I was reading about team Trek last night (maybe that's the name - who can remember - I'm lucky to have time to read anything!) and their GPS tracking device which one can wear during races.  It lets your family & friend track your progress.  That shouldn't be too hard.  The blip will be moving slooooooowly for me.  But hey, I'm up for figuring out how to use all this stuff.  & to think I was super impressed with the timing chip that you stick to your shoelaces way back when.

Bad Weather

It's been a very long time since I've been able to go outside and run or ride my bike.  It's getting depressing!  I got my copy of USA Triathlon Life & I was reading about how winter training can be boring.  Hmmmm....no kidding!  But as I sit here reading I can't say I'm training, more like trying to train.  Either way, after reading some of the articles, I have to get out there today & start the week off right.

I wish I could get out on my bike & go out for a ride.  It's 48 degrees today, heatwave!, but it's going to rain any minute, ugh!  I just can't win.  The two warmest days of the week (today & tomorrow) & rain, rain, rain is in the forecast.  I really can't wait for April when it starts to warm up around here & hopefully not rain as much.  I see all the people on the triathlon website that live in Florida & they're outside every day working out & getting tan.  Sigh, no tan in sight for me.

At least if I go to the gym this afternoon, it will be quiet, since I'm sure most people are home watching the Jets and eating football food like nachos and beers!  Yum!  I ate too much this weekend anyway, so it's probably better that I'm getting ready to go to the gym & get in a long workout.  I can't sit here all day watching the Housewives & football.  I really should plan something a little more exciting than being a couch potato today.
