My schedule included swimming with the team at Northside College Prep High School on Wednesday night. MB was also coaching, so the plan was to get home from work and to go together.
When I got home, I was really down and tired and climbed into bed... I had had a long day at work the past few days. I just wanted to "rest", but we all know where that goes. I told Michael that I was going to skip swimming and just opt for some sleep.
My coach certainly knows a lot about triathlon, but I know more about myself and sometimes, I need to give myself the space to slow down and rest. If you've been reading this regularly, you know that I'm still doing a lot and trying to fit LIFE into my life and not have it be all about training. Wednesday night I needed to listen to my body more than my coach.
It was too bad that I was too tired to get up and go out and enjoy some fireworks or a walk in the beautiful night air and take advantage of the day off on Thursday... but it is what it is!
