Where oh where is my mojo? I'm trying, really trying to get into it. I NEED to find myself, but lately I'm struggling to do anything!
Sunday I got on my new (suped-up) and improved bike and while I was only on my trainer I was LOVING it! I am hoping I can fly!!!! I'll be doing a blog on this soon.
Monday I was on my way to (grudgingly) swim laps until a fellow spin instructor (who also teaches water aerobics) waved me over to join her class b/c she was running low on participants. Well being an instructor myself I understand not wanting to teach only 3 of 4 people so I jumped in. While water aerobics isn't my fav, it's a great workout if you work at it! I did that and left at the cool down b/c I didn't want to get too cooled down before I did my laps....well.....my "laps" ended up being only a 200 race pace (for warm up-ish thing) and then four 50meter "sprints" before my blood sugar flushed! I was so dizzy I stumbled out of the pool. I went to the showers and tried hard to get through that quick b/c I didn't have a gel or anything with me! That was when I realized two things.....one, always, ALWAYS remember protein at breakfast and two, always, ALWAYS remember a gel!!!! UGH!!!!
Today I went to spin. The hour almost killed me. I'm strong, but not STRONG like triathlete! I did an hour and then (learning from my mistakes), popped a gel and went to do negative splits on the treadmill for only a mile.
You see, I'm coming off of illness and exhaustion and while I can get through a workout, I'm not feeling like I'm gaining. I feel like I'm learning all over again! I'm PRAYING this clears up! I'm desperate to be where I was!
Well tomorrow we'll be under several feet of snow in WV...AGAIN! So I'm going to do that Jillian Michaels DVD I did on Friday. I actually like it! I like to do some strength training and I like her, she's just cool and committed and really wants everyone to be healthy, so I'm looking forward to that. And weather permitting I'm swimming on Thursday. I need some good swim workouts (for someone NOT training for an iron distance) so feel free to throw some at me :)
I lost my mojo as well, not there, cant find it, worried where it went
ReplyDeleteWhat toy did you end up getting?
Oh, for Mike, well, I just ended up getting him a pair of Oakley's that the lenses can change in, we then BOTH went out and bought a giant television (Highly unnecessary, but oh-so-awesome) and he got some new shifters and handlebars/aerobars for his bike. Uneventful, but my new bike stuff is FUN!
