The past few days have not been that great for me, dealing with some stomach issues and totally not feeling 100%. I normally have a pretty strong immune system so this is not normal for me. I think sometimes I get knocked down in the health department to remind me to be grateful for my good health. I did get my swim in on Tuesday and then felt just as bad yesterday with an upset stomach and blahness. I am also apprehensive about riding my bike on the major roads with cars for fear of an accident. One of my favorite tri bloggers is currently laid up with injuries thanks to a car not paying attention on the road. I guess this week has not been that great for me. I won't get in the pool today because my son is having a school assembly to celebrate "Texas" this afternoon and he's excited about me being there. Of course I can't let my little guy down. I will have to push a swim to tomorrow or the weekend and just knock out a bunch of training next week since the kids will be with their dad.
I haven't felt that great this week, but to stay on the positive side I did make sure I swam Tuesday even though I didn't really feel like it. Getting in the pool is half the battle for me. It's still so hard to see how my training is going to be enough - or that I will be able to do it at all on May 5, but I am still committed to showing up.
Half of my battle is convincing myself I can do this - for me most of it is an inside job and I have made the commitment and I am going to keep on going even though I sometimes want to quit or stop or talk myself out of training. It's a struggle. What matters most is staying consistent even if I don't feel that great, doing it anyway. Gotta stay positive and keep going. One day at a time for me.
