Tough schedule

In some people's view Sunday is a day of rest - not in mine!  My training today was a 43 minute run, a 1 hour turbo and a 40 minute core session.  However I had to build that round my sons football, furniture shopping, food shopping, preparing dinner and various drop off and pick ups.
I broke it down by running before the football.  Again a beautiful autumn day and when I started running I just felt so good.  It won't be long before it's windy, raining or snowing and blowing a gale so I was going to enjoy my run.  Then on to the sidelines to support my son - they won.
Once the shopping was over I returned and did my hour on the turbo.  It is mind numbing but so is ironman.  At least I am focused on my cadence, heart rate and my form (my reflection in the window tells me when if I am staying still and not wavering all over the place).  You sweat buckets and it's a great way of keeping fit.  Straight after that and in for my core session.
Shower, cook dinner and relax.  Only two pick ups with the kids and I'll be heading to bed as I'm up early for swimming!  Ah the life of a triathlete.  Seriously though, I feel great.
