Vacation (without exercise) will do that to ya.

After Timberman, I went to Alabama for work. From Alabama, I went to Las Vegas to visit my sister and my two nieces, Mia and Sophie. Julie and Marla met me in Las Vegas. I got home mid-week last week.

Between Timberman and today, I ran once. In Henderson (where my sister lives, right outside Vegas). For 42 minutes in 102 degree heat. (I must say that it is interesting when someone who sweats as much as me looks down during her run and sees zero perspiration--because it evaporates before you can see it!)

Between Timberman and today, I swam once. Two mornings ago at Walden. It was a slow and a poor showing. Not that I was showing anyone, but I must have looked like a poor soul to anyone who did catch a glimpse of me that morning. I felt so out of shape. My swim partner swam waaay faster than me. Granted, he usually does swim faster than me [but not always :)]. However, he just completed IM Louisville. Enough said.

I had planned to go on the Trifury Saturday morning ride this morning, but after 4 weeks of what I tried to convince myself was an allergy (and i think it was at first), I self-diagnosed a sinus infection. I tried to get up anyway this morning. But with sinus pressure, pressure above my eyes, blocked nasal passages, and an awful headache, I went back to bed and skipped the ride.

I called the doctor and he prescribed me an antibotic and a decongestant. Thank goodness I didn't need to wait until Tuesday! Hopefully that will kick in soon. (I started on the meds this afternoon.) But I still didn't get the ride in this morning. I had planned to ride today, Sunday and Monday. And then Thursday 20 miles easy. And then Firm Man Sunday morning. In 3:10.

Yeah, 3:10.

Great.
