Slept in...I needed it! Spin class, good hard sweaty workout. Did a lot of HIITS...I hate to admit it, but I like them :) Decided 1/2 way through spin class I wanted to do a brick before swim. A quick transition and then 2 miles on the track at a good pace. So, I stopped, changed shoes, wiped down the bike, grabbed my stuff and hit the track as fast as I could. Timer was 3:00 on the dot. Started the run. The run actually wasn't too bad. I could feel some fatigue in my legs but it wasn't terrible. First mile: 7:34, meh...I can do better, it is only 2 miles then you get to swim. So, I pushed a little harder on the next one and I finished in 14:34 for both miles, second one was a 7:00 on the dot. Nice. As I was walking my cool down lap, to then go swim I heard my name called...crap, nursery. Adam's been so good lately I thought it was just a poopy diaper. Nope. No swimming for me, and another write up for Adam. I copied the masters workout on my phone with full intentions to come back during nap time. Well, about 1:00 I abandoned that idea. My kids have been through a lot with family in town, funeral craziness and dad and I going out a lot with family and friends and for his birthday. My home is a disaster and who do I think I am? I can't just be satisfied with a 1:15 workout? I HAVE to do that extra swim? Why can't I just put my kids and family first and clean up the house and get the stuff done I need to here? I don't need to abandon them for a swim, it doesn't really make sense. Just stay home, love them, play with them, mop the 2in deep scuzy floor and stop trying to be athlete of the year with 5000 workouts a day. Just be a mom and be here, they won't always be around. So, guilt trip mommy is staying home and burning probably as many calories mopping the watermelon my kids spilled ALL over the floor last night while dad and I were out than I probably would be if I went swimming. Happy Wednesday!
