Another Gloomy December Day

Today I'm taking as a rest day. Too much to do and the weather sucks! I'm starting to figure that the month of December is just not meant for training and working out. Oh well.

Wednesday (you know what it is)!

It's Wednesday again and that means another training rest day. I'm going to enjoy it!

The dog in the picture is NOT my dog!

It's Wednesday!

That means it's. . . 

Rest Day!

Five O'clock A.M.

In my humble opinion, I don't believe God made man to wake up at 5:00 a.m. It's just not natural and people (especially me) just aren't as happy and well functioning at early morning hour. Nonetheless, Troy and I dragged ourselves out of bed this morning at 5:00 and jaunted out on our 40 minute training swim. It was good and it was intense, but it felt good to finish. And I must admit, it feels great to know that it's behind you once it's over with. Now all we have left is a run for Troy and a bike for me and we can look forward to tomorrow's rest day.

I'm tired, but I feel good. Training has been good for my soul.

The Lovely Hump Day!

Today is Wednesday. That's means it's our 

REST DAY!

A Rest Day Swim

Since I ended up doing NOTHING on Monday, I figured that I'd better make up for it today even though today is mine and Troy's rest day. I went to the Rec. Center and got in an easy 30 minute drill/swim workout before I had to be in the studio to finish the never ending kids project. This thing is going to be the death of me for sure! I can not wait to get this thing done and in the can! Our training however, is what's keeping me sane and in touch with the Lord on a daily basis. He seems to speak the loudest to me when I'm alone and focused. It's also the most peaceful time that I have. It's actually funny how that works. Putting your body through stress and strain while your mind and soul is totally at peace. It doesn't seem possible in my brain, but I can only chalk that up to the sovereignty of Christ.
