Tools of the Trade….

Just like an American Express Card, I never train without the monitors! Kyle has been home now for four days, and we are adjusting to life with a newborn in the house. Some accommodations include setting up the living room as a bedroom, and using the dining room table as a dresser for all the newborn clothes. So far it has been great!!! Kyle is doing well in his new environment; it’s truly a fun time!!
On the training front….I have been strictly limited to training indoors, which means treadmill and trainer, no swimming. I have only left the house once in the past four days, not bad cause it’s still very cold out. Training during this time follows two rules:
1. My priority is to my family…no questions.
2. When everyone else is sleeping, I am training.
Obeying the second rule means, EARLY mornings, NAPTIMES, and LATE evenings. For example, this morning was a 13 mile treadmill run at 4:30a.m. Yes, the coffee pot was set at 4! I realize to compete at the level I wish to I WILL have personal sacrifices, namely sleep. May not be the best long term solution, but when you have two little guys running around the house, it works! All for now!
