It must be this weather

I am feeling overwhelmingly lazy. LA-ZEEEEY. I have a million excuses to go along with my laziness too; It is too cold to run. I am lacking sleep. I have to get the house in order. Well, okay, the last one is so true it's not even funny. Re-doing the family room has been one problem after the other, from the paint to the furniture. But I digress.....

I need to lift and swim tonight but at 1:15 I know I am not doing both. My goal is to do one or the other, I hope I can motivate myself to do one thing today! The main thing on my to do list is nap, and I am not even joking. I have a ton of work to do, a ton of housework to do, and I want to nap. It must be the weather!!

One thing I have been thinking a lot about is shoes. I have enjoyed running in my vibram fivefingers, but they take a few minutes to put on. Will I want to use that time during the Tri to put shoes on? Should I just bike and run in my Nike's? I don't know.... I just don't know. With the fivefingers if you don't thread your toes just right they can be a little painful, so you need to take your time and get your toes in perfectly. I ordered some running shoes today, they are call dual lights, they are very light weight, and have the creases for extra bending. I am going to give them a try and see if I like them. Anything to save 5 minutes, right??

Inside all of us is HOPE.

  1. OK--I'm not really stalking you, Ehrika. :-) I had just checked to see if you had answered my question about the body fat%.

    Here's my 2 cents about the shoes. When I did the tri last year, I used these mesh athletic-type shoes with a rubber sole for the bike portion. When I got back to transition is when I put my socks and running shoes for the run. I was afraid to put my socks and shoes on right after the swim part because I didn't want to have wet feet (swim suit dripping) and risk getting blisters. That worked out great for me.

    If you would like contact me direct, you can drop me an email at gnowak17@gmail.com.

    Thanks!
