Hmmm. That kind of sucks. I know that when I was training for tris, it was nearly impossible to get everything in without getting up at some ridiculous hour, and that was before we had a dog.

Could you swim really early? Or do a yoga practice at home (like if you go to class 2x per week, cut back to 1 and do a home practice early before work or on the weekends)? Or while you're training, could your DH handle dog duties for a while?

It's frustrating when you can't fit stuff in and it stresses you out, which is the exact opposite of what all that exercise is supposed to do for you. Maybe teach the dogs to run the vacuum? That would be so awesome if they could pick up after themselves.

I'll keep thinking about this. I hope that you can figure it out. Your ride to work sounds really annoying, actually, with the lights and potholes.
