Can one say "ditto, ditto, ditto". I have a bit of a flexible schedule, so I can come in a "bit later" or leave a bit early if no meetings...so I flex some. Mostly I find some days no matter how good my intentions the thought of getting up early, putting in the time to bike/run--I have a hard time really getting out of bed. Then by the time I bike or run I have to do all the regular stuff before I get out of the house and get to work. As I am going to work I see folks running/biking inteh LIGHT not in the dark. If i don't do it in the AM, again I have to stay motivated to do the workout in the evening. And with the heat right now ---it is hard. It really is motivation & good planning to say teh least. I am struggling with both right now. I have always said I could actaully be good at this if I didn't have to work! But work pays so I can play. I can train for long bike rides. I can train for 1/2 or even marathons. And I think i can train for this tri...but it is a sprint. I would have to have much more dedication/motivation and really be organized to train for a long distance tri.
