sweaty AND stinky

So, it's 11 p.m. and I should probably be going to bed instead of blogging. But I just got off of the trainer and need to decompress a little. I'm trying to think sleepy thoughts while drinking sleepy time tea.

Late night trainer sessions are a bad, bad habit of mine but I can't help myself. First of all, I'm a nap-a-holic. Whenever I get home from work I usually take a nap before working out. And then I wake up all refreshed and have a good workout on the trainer. It's all good except the times where my 20 min nap turns a few hours long (like today) and I end up working out until really late. Oh well, good 24 hour training, right???

And lets talk about training. In the last 2 days I've put 5 hours in on the trainer. Granted, that's not that much but it always feels a lot longer when it's on the trainer. Need...to....ride....outside....now!!!! I'm on a block of tempo days too, which aren't that exciting indoors. I would much, much, much rather do L4 or L5 intervals. But I'm following my coaches plan and tempo it is.

I'm still finalizing sponsorship stuff, but I can tell you this. I'm very, very excited about next year. As for what races I'm going to be doing...so hard to decide. The list keeps growing and growing and growing!

Well, time for bed. My trainer/tempo high has worn off and I think the sleepy time tea has kicked in!

And I just added more today! Glad you are finding it useful (or frustrating given the amount of races!) to use. Good luck.
