Three weeks are complete and today was my first day off.  I've been looking forward to this day for quite some time and I was completely surprised to find that I was a little antsy and maybe even a little depressed all day long.  I hardly knew what to do with myself.  I admit that I had to sneak in some push ups and lots of stretching - I just couldn't help it! 

Despite today, the training is going well and I'm feeling strong and motivated.  Scheduling workouts has been a bit of trial and error for me too, and Holly, I've also felt myself coming completely unglued when I start worrying that I might not be able to fit it all in.  While I haven't missed any workouts, some of them have suffered some minor modifications.  On Fridays, I have to try to squeeze 3000 yds in the pool between 6 and 6:50am at which time the pool is taken over by 30, giggling 75-year old women for their water aerobics class.  A lane or two is left open for Lap swimmers but I always get stuck in a lane with the dude who refuses to split the lane, he only wants to Circle Swim but he only kicks on his back with big ole fins on and pays zero attention to where he's going.  But he's super nice and every time he runs smack into me he smiles, apologizes and reminds me that if I keep swimming I'm going to live forever.  So, sometimes my friday swim are cut a little short...

The upcoming week is relatively easy with some time trials and on Saturday I have to fulfill a commitment I could kick myself for making.  I'm running a seven mile leg of a 50-mile beach run relay around Nantucket.  I hate beach running - it makes my knees achy.   And my portion of the run goes through the nude beach - sadly, the scenery there is not nearly as good as one might hope. 

The first three weeks went by relatively painlessly and a little too quickly.  Makes me nervous to think how fast November is going to sneak up.  But I'm looking forward to the coming weeks and am feeling anxious to get my run and cycling mileage up!
