not quite according to plan
my entire HIM training is f*cked.
and its only day three.
let me lay out the timeline here, folks:
plan of action
wednesday
6pm -- crossfit
7pm -- 3 mile run
thursday
6am -- swim 1450
6pm -- spin 1HR
what actually happened
wednesday
6pm -- crossfit
6:15pm -- ooooh god. my stomach
6:30pm -- stomach. stomach. stomach. i gotta find a bathroom.
6:50pm -- OMG bathroom. OMG bathroom.
7pm -- butt EXPLOSION.
8pm -- maybe if i start feeling better, i can still go run?
8:30 pm -- oh god. maybe not. i'll run tomorrow.
thursday
6am -- running sucks.
6:30am -- aaaand, now i get to swim.
6:35am -- *stick foot in pool, about to jump in* SON OF A BITCH! THE POOL HEATER'S NOT WORKING!
6:37am -- i can do this. i can do this. i can do this.
6:38am -- *sit on edge of pool, sticking both legs in* NOT DOING THIS! NOT DOING THIS! NOT DOING THIS!
6:40am -- #&%$ this is NOT going well.
afterwards i promptly took a shower, got to work, and decided instead i'd just head home early.
i can go home, grab my bike... find a different pool, swim, and then head to spin. right.
because its my first week back in training... throwing in my first 3-a-day?!
why not?

LOL.
By the way, your Jayhawks are SO going down tonight to my Hokies. Yeah, I suppose your team had a nice little run this season (although who did they really play?), but it'll soon be over. VA Tech all the way, baby! ;-)

oh you silly girl, your HIM training is not effed up!!!
you're in your base phase, so you can make those things up if necessary. BUT, my coach says dont do the entire missed workout at once...spread it out. for example, take your 3 mile missed run, and add a 1 mile run for 3 days. make sense?

All training plans require working out the bugs....

i wish stomachs and cold swimming pools were never invented. you have my sympathies :(
feel better and kick some booty in your training.

This is just fate's way of testing whether you are serious about this whole HIM thingy. It all depends upon your response. Take Kim's advice on how to get the time in, but be sure to grab fate by the collar, slam him up against the wall, spit in his eye, and tell him you will not be denied.
"I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!"
So, uhm, i'm not really woman, but that's what you're supposed to say. m'kay.

You are so far ahead of me by just having a plan. I'm still holding out but I did start strength/core training and I'm so sore I can hardly walk so that must count for something!
Keep on keepin' on. You'll get there.

well that's an auspicious start! NOT!
warm swimming pool is ALMOST as bad as cold. it feels like swimming thru mud.

Why is it again that we do this shit to ourselves? Hope your tummy and tush are feeling better.

I love your blog, check it everyday and alas I have read that you had a butt EXPLOSION. Not just a "I had to find a bathroom and now I feel fine." But a full on butt EXPLOSION.
I'm going to go the rest of my day trying not to think about it, however, that probably won't happen and I'll have a dream about it tonight!
:-)
BTW, I hope you are feeling better!

i'm sorry but you had me at butt explosion...everything after that was kind of a blur

Hopefully tonight's game more than made up for your training this morning.
Better days are ahead. I promise!
I've got an idea...why don't you come up here and we'll go wet suit shopping together. :)

"butt EXPLOSION" = hilarity
I mean, we all know it's not funny when it's actually happening, you want to die, but still...funny.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk.

that was hysterical. especially the explosion part! i've been there. and now that i've been to crossfit for real, i am scared!

the problem with your whole sitchiation (or rather, hole sitchiation) is that you told your butt about the plan. the butt revolted. voila.
next time, keep it a secret. surprise the butt. the butt will get over it. sort of like the asking forgiveness before asking permission theory.

Too funny! Waaay more amusing than my day #3 of training. Yeah and I even had a butt explosion too.
