Waiting to lick the salt off my legs
Notes:- It's been a few weeks, hasn't it?! Ironman training takes up a lot of time!
- My husband has been traveling a lot for work lately (currently on the third week in a row!). It's a lot to manage on my own but I'm (sort of) making it work. Sometimes though, I stand in front of the open fridge door and wonder what the heck I am going to eat and then I get sad there is no food I want to eat in there. How did I do this when we weren't living together -- oh yeah, I ate cereal for dinner regularly. I'll be glad when he is traveling less again and can walk the dog instead of me :)
- I'm really happy with how my fitness is coming along. My running pace is getting faster!
- I was so glad so have a recovery week, I even got to take a nap on the couch one night! I needed it as I was pooped!
- 129 days to go!
