I better do some Christmas Shopping Soon...


Another early morning. I'm done with getting up early! I'm an Ironman, but I can't handle the get up early thing. Last night I woke up disorientated at 1 am and didn't know what day it was or if I got up late, I was panicked. Then when I had my shower I turned the lever in the wrong direction, ouch it was hot! I can't believe how important sleep with a natural, non alarm, wake up is to me.

I was able to do tomorrows early morning delivery tonight, which means I get to catch up on some sleep tomorrow. Plus, we are supposed to get a major snow storm this weekend, starting tomorrow morning and I'd rather not drive in it. When I got home I was spent. I forced my self to fall a sleep on the couch and set my alarm to go off for my hair cut appointment at 7:40 pm. I got up, drove there, and then realized it was tomorrow at 3:40 pm. Like I said I'm not on my game. 

I felt better after the sleep and did a moderate run and then went to the YMCA to do some weights. I looked at my moderate run times from a year ago and I've really improved, I'm now running about 1 minute per mile faster at the same heart rate. I'm glad that I'm going to have a full nights rest because I need to take the kids Christmas shopping and Birthday Shopping for Alice. I also need to pack all my clothes and get ready for our flight to Winnipeg, if we don't get snowed in. Although, truth be told, it is so cold in Winnipeg, this week it has been -35 C to - 44 C, that if our flight was delayed a day or two it really wouldn't bother me.

Mod Run - 41:31 / 5.11 miles / 8:07 pace
Weights - 30 minutes
