Seriously. Today sucks.

Wednesdays are tough. I know today is Thursday, but yesterday made today worse...

I knew I only had a short timeline and couldn't fart around after getting off work if I was going to actually make it to the gym and get going with my crazy evening. So I got off work, went straight home and headed up to the gym. I figured it was about time I started mixing biking and running, if I'm ever going to make that Tri. Logical, right? Right.

Biked for the first 27 minutes... resistance=3.

Feeling good...

Get on treadmill... walk it out a little... turn it up to 4.8... run 3min, 46 seconds... fall off treadmill... use every bit of energy left in me to slam the emergency "stop" button. JHC, I hate running.

Look around, make sure nobody saw me... slink out the door.. I gotta go make dinner so I can meet up with my (rec) volleyball team at the bar. After the bar, we all walk over to the volleyball game.

Walk to the game... played the game, which ended up being 45 minutes of standing in squat position and there were a few jumps and hits in there. Overall, not so much, though... mainly squatting... oh, and losing. There was a lot of losing.

Finally get home and collapse on the couch. I then decide that if I am going to wake up to go swimming at 5AM, I'd better head off to bed, which I am perfectly okay with...

Wake up at 5... can't feel my arms. "BRYAN I CAN'T FEEL MY ARMS! BRYAN! I DON'T HAVE ANY ARMS!" I was sleeping on my arms. Bryan had to physicall put my arms in front of my face to assure me that, yes, I do still have both attached. Man, I am NOT going to the pool today. I might not even get out of bed. Apparently in the middle of the night, someone stole my left and right upper body limbs and thanks to the biking/running/squatting.. I can barely make it to the bathroom for a shower.

The rest of the day was along those same lines... 2 cups of coffee and a nice breakfast still didn't help with the energy level... neither did lunch...

Ran half a mile after work.. then biked for 20 minutes... GOD, I'm hungry. Seriously, though, what else is new?

Dinner tonight? Rosemary chicken breast, green beans, peas with mushrooms. So happy tomorrow is Friday. Cliche, I realize.
