Locking it Up

T-107 Days

In the past couple of weeks I have really been trying to lock it up.  I have been religiously following through with each work out that is on training peaks.  I may or may not have chipped five minutes off here and there before =)  I was not super pressed when I started ten months out.  Now, it IS time.  The first pic was with my Dre beats on after run intervals at the YMCA.  I stole the Wings shirt from Brooke and sweated it all up.  The second pic is from my new wetsuit.  I started Odyssey Open Water Swimming Tuesday.  I only swam half a mile so an 800 to get used to the water.  I was thrilled how much I floated.  I still find open water swimming tough as it is such a new concept to me.Tomorrow I will do a mile in the Bay.  I am sure it is really clean and bacteria free.  Other than that, I will start with Bulletproof coffee tomorrow which has been recommended by every Ironman or Ben Greenfield and Adam ;) I also started a herbal routine that Adam and Ben recommended TainChi

which so far with the combination of that and MCT oil have had a lot more energy.  Also, since I have been working out so much I have dropped a couple pounds…guess I'll have to amp up the cheeseburgers…kidding.  Actually I will also be trying DHA (fatty acids), flaxseed and chia seed for better brain functions and poops…

So as I train for this, I am a bit pressed for time with teaching and trying to write my thesis.  I am having to be very busy and watch my time and manage time.  Thus far I have been putting in 15-16 hour days during the week and weekend.  I have ridden on the trainer the past couple of weeks to catch up on seasons on Netflix.  Anyway, I write this today as I did a three hour bike ride this am, run the dogs at the dog beach, ran errands and cleaned rest of day.  I will then try to write a couple hours on Thesis.  Vive la vide hora,
