Thanks everyone! Your voices are what I needed, the SO just doesn't get it(yet he also rode 40 miles yesterday AM, well 35 miles plus 4 bridge repeats, so just about 40) and then at night ran 10 miles. So... I live with someone who is OBSESSED with training! He is so obsessed that it is actually affecting our relationship- but that is a whole other topic!

And SheFly, the SO is the one doing my training plans, so I have had to step back and look at how crazed he is and realize that what he thinks works- does not work for me!

I do think I need to up my food intake, I finally stepped on a scale and I have lost 5 lbs in the past 2 weeks. This week I didn't work out once except for my actual work! I was also to tired at night to even come on here! So, today was my day off and I cleaned and relaxed all day and tonight will get on the trainer(20mph winds outside, even though it is sunny and warm, has me opting the trainer).

Ginny, unfortunatly I can't just sit on the rail and watch the kids. My kids range from beginners on lunge lines to 3'6 kids and I can't just let them go 3/4ths the ring without me speaking to them(and the winds get bad in the afternoon here and they can't hear me if I stay in one spot). But I am working on making sure I take food with me to work because I usually don't get a chance to leave and taking an electolyte based drink with me(heed or whatever I have for the bike at the moment) because being outdoors all day I realized I wasn't drinking enough for the amount of work I was doing and being in the sun all day.

Thank you ladies:-)
