exhausted.

Last night's workout was supposed to be a 30 min swim/ 30 min bike/ 30 min run, but I was too lazy to drive to the pool AND I had ANTM DVR'd... so who better than Tyra to motivate me to be a FIERCE biker? The run felt pretty good, especially toward the end (which is a long uphill!). I feel like I'm ready to tackle Savageman, as ugly, slow, and painful as my finish may (will) be.

bike
59m 13s

run

Aside from a bigger butt and legs that can no longer fit into some of my pencil skirts, another wonderful side effect of HIM training is the constant exhaustion. I set my alarm for 6:30 this morning and swear I did not hear it. J woke me up, "Trish, it's 7:55, don't you have court this morning?" Yes, I do, at 8:30. I was showered and out of the door at 8:10, and to the courthouse by 8:39. Things worked out (thank goodness for late defendants ;)) but my god if I could get 10 hours of sleep a night I would be a very happy girl.

I need to get in some pool time ... probably a short 1500m after work tonight.

  2. Congrats on getting to court before opposing counsel's clients...nicely done...I hate panic mornings particularly when you feel exhausted to begin with...I had a 7:30 am schedule on Tuesday that I remembered at 6:15...and I spent all day yesterday convinced (wishing) that it was Friday...good luck on your workouts this weekend...I am trying to decide whether or not to do a metric century tomorrow (if my bike is ready) or come into the office and work (which I pretty much need to do)...can't wait to see what I will do...

  3. Yes! He is adorable. He was a rescue dog from LA that my sister hooked me up with. He matches my current rescue dog, Eleanor, perfectly...he is wonderful.
