I have to say, I really don't get how super busy people manage to keep up with triathlon (or any serious endurance) training. I'm not that busy. I don't have roommates, not married, no kids. Just one normal hour-ed job, a low-maintenance dog, and a low-maintenance boyfriend. If I want to sacrifice housework, and laundry and whatever else to go bike, no worries. No one cares (at least I don't think the dog minds the house being messy). But even so, I have a hard time balancing out my regular life and non-tri friends with training. My boyfriend has been in California for a month working, and will be out there for at least another month. He came into town this weekend for some friends' wedding. So I pretty much blew off everything, including training to be with him as much as possible. I don't feel guilty about that.
Until I log onto my exercise tracker, and see the big, glaring, ZERO for the whole weekend's miles.
I really don't feel bad. With him being so far away for so long, this weekend was precious. It's hard to even talk on the phone because of the time difference. I miss him like crazy, I had a good week working out, I'm going to TnT swimming tonight, so I'll get a full hour in. So now, it's just convincing the voice in my head telling me how lazy I am.
It'll probably shut up after swimming. Probably.
I respect the people who have kids, and more demanding jobs who manage to train better and more consistantly than me. I really don't know how the hell you do it.
