Man was I tired...

Alice and I were up late last night and I ended up getting only 5 hours of sleep. All day I was tired. When I got home I laid down on my bed and went into a coma like sleep and woke up at 8:15 pm. I should have been out the door to do my swim and weights at around 7 pm. Now I was running late. Actually, I was thinking of not going but I just couldn't talk myself into it. I have to train or it doesn't feel natural.

I wasn't going to be able to do both workouts tonight so I decided to do my swim only and postpone the weight training session. Twenty minutes into the swim they closed the pool because the chlorine was too low. It worked out okay because there was just enough time for me to do my weight training before the Y closed. In a way it wasn't too bad getting there late. I was still able to get in a swim and a weight training session.

I was looking at a picture of Lance Armstrong with his shirt off on the Internet. He is exactly my height and before his comeback he weighted around 180 lbs, the same as me. Now he is probably around 160 lbs if that. When I was at the wax museum I had my picture taken beside him. It's amazing how much thinner he is when you stand beside him. Tiger Woods on the other hand is a monster. I've been eating much better and drinking less and I'm really trying to get my weight down and I can feel my body getting tighter. I know my performance will go up dramatically just by weighing less.

Swim - 23:21 / 1100 meters
Weights - 45 minutes
