I Hate Spring

I hate Spring. It always makes me feel bad for some reason. Probably something from my youth that brings back bad memories. But I’ve talked about this before and I am not going to get into it again. So anyway, I’ve decided to make the switch from evening workouts back to morning workouts. I’ve only been partially successful. I took off Tuesday night from working out, so I could get to bed early, with the intention of going to the pool. Well, I didn’t make it to the pool on Wednesday morning, but I did manage to get up and ride my bike, albeit indoors. It wasn’t what I was planning for, but at least it was a morning workout.

Today, once again, I intended to get up early and go to the pool. I abysmally failed. I didn’t get out of bed until after 7am. I’ll just have to go to the pool tonight as this is the only opportunity I have to get in a swim before the week is out. Tomorrow I’ll have to get in a morning workout, because I have my son’s baseball practice in the evening. Somehow, some way, I have going to have to reset my exercise clock.

My shins are feeling good, but that is because I am still not running. It is very tempting to go out for a run, but I think I am better off giving my shins a couple of more weeks to heal. It’s very frustrating not being able to run. I think I still have time to get ready for the VT100. I don’t think I have any chance in hell of getting ready for Ironman Lake Placid. I don’t have that in me this year. Perhaps I just need a break for a while. A break… funny words to be using, considering the state of my shins.
