Am I different???

Just as I was feeling rested again, I find out I have to go back to delivery driving in the early morning. The old driver we have can't see in the dark and said he can't drive mornings anymore. So I have to. I'm glad it's only for a week. 

I have a fairly heavy training schedule on Friday's. I do a bike and a long run. At work our landlord brought pastries and cookies for Christmas and of course I had to have some even though my mouth was frozen from going to the dentist earlier in the day. Eating all those sugary items made me very motivated to work out or at least I justified eating them by saying I was going to be burning a lot of calories so why not indulge. When I got home, the sugar was making me sluggish and I didn't feel like running, but I went anyway. Ten minutes into it I felt great. I had a lot on my mind from work and worked through it on my run. I was so focused on work I didn't even realize I did a run. I started the run biting through steel and I ended feeling like a relaxed wall flower.

After the run, Alice and I went out to the local English pub for a dinner and a few drinks. When I got back I still had a 95 minute bike ride so I decided to set the wind trainer up in the basement at the bar and ride while I had a few beers, watched TV, tried to register for the UK Ironman on my computer and talk to Alice. I was "multi-tasking". When people ask me where I find the time to train, they can always check out my blog to find out my secrets. It's amazing how fast an hour and fifteen minutes went by. I'm not sure if anyone, ever, has tried to mix drinking at a bar with riding a bike, but I think it's a great idea. Next week I might invite some of my friends - BYOB - Bring your own Bike (and Beer). 

I think I'm on to something. If Oprah puts me on her show, it will be big.

Long Run - 1:17 / 9.34 miles / 8:16

Bike 1:15 / 23.59 / 18:87 pace
