Low motivation - man up!

With the big birthday tomorrow this week isn't a normal one and I decided to have an extra hour in bed as it had been a hard swim session the night before. But I have to be careful that "listening to my body" which is so important doesn't become an excuse for being lazy. Once home from work I got back into the swing a walked across the yard in my cycling gear as the rain was pouring down - I could quite easily have lay down in front of the fire and had a sleep.
But the only way you can complete an Ironman is by finishing these sessions having given everything. So that's what I did followed by a weights session. Then some lasagne accompanied by bubbly - just warming up for tomorrow!
