Training on fumes...

We had a great time last night. Alice, Lena and I went bar hoping. Lots of drinking and dancing. I don't know what time we got home but it was late and the "whirley birds" were out. At 8 am this morning I looked at the clock and considered going to train, but realized I was still drunk and another couple hours of sleep would probably be best. When I did get up I figured I'd better get the training done asap and I didn't want to split the workouts and cut into our fun time. 

I did a weights session and then a tempo bike ride. It must have looked to an outsider that I was really focused on riding because I wasn't looking at the TV and I had my head down in the aero position and was going pretty strong. What they wouldn't have seen was that I had my eyes closed and was in a coma type state. I covered up the timer, so I wouldn't be a clock watcher, and just listened to music and zoned out. A few times when I had to open my eyes and come up for water I became dizzy and I could see myself falling of the bike. As I had my head down, I was reading the fine print on the Life cycle and it said to "consult your physician if you are faint, dizzy or exhausted". I don't know how well that would work for me. The doctor would just tell me not to drink so much and then he would add "YOU DUMB ASS" in a Ukraine accent. Now that I finished my training it's going to another partying groundhog day. 

I just found out my daughter got her grades and she got a 95% in her University level English and the class average is only 72%. I'm real proud of her. She obviously has Alice's learning genes.
