Since my triathlon, I have been rather inactive. This past weekend, however, I did lots of activities. I went swimming at the beach with my nephews three days in a row and on Saturday morning I played tennis with my brother and parents. Add to that lots of games of hide and go seek, baseball, and carrying around a 15 pound weight (baby nephew) and I had quite a physical weekend.
However, now that I am back home, I am again struck with the same case of the lazies that I had before I left. Is it just that there is no one here to go swimming with or play tennis with? No one to drag me outside despite the hot temperatures? Do I need that kind of thing when I don’t have a training schedule to keep me on track? I am not sure, but I do know that I don’t even have the energy to play Wii Fit and that is pretty sad.
I went swimming today and there was NO ONE ELSE there. Well, except for the lifeguard and the old lady bouncing in the open part of the pool. It was very nice. Does anyone else have a problem keeping track what lap they are on? I always have to think, “Am I at 300 yards or 350?” I did about 525 yards today.
As I was leaving the gym, I saw a guy with a workout bag put out a cigarette as he entered the building. It was just like the dream I had last night where the lady was smoking at a weight loss meeting.
After the glorious swim in an empty pool, I took my chances and went to Target to see if they had any Wii Fits. My mom had called me this morning to tell me that she and my dad had acquired one at their local Target, so I thought it was worth a chance. And . . . they had them! I am looking forward to Wii Yoga and Wii Hula Hooping. Maybe there is finally a game that I can beat Prince E at! (He has been beating me at MarioKart repeatedly).
I have only missed one workout so far this short training season. We were going to do Bike the Drive on Sunday and that was going to count as my Sunday bike ride, but we were lazy and stayed home. And played MarioKart.
