Misplaced

I seem to have misplaced my power? Got any idea where I might have put it??

This weekend was pretty much a blur. I got in a trainer ride of 30 miles. Tested out the aerobars for some of it. Definitely looking forward to the new saddle! I did get to enjoy some time with friends Saturday night which was nice. By Sunday after dinner my husband and I were crashed on the floor playing with the puppy. She decided to take a nap. We were as tired as she was. We decided just to lay on the floor and try and do the same. I lasted about 20 mins dozed in and out but it was just too uncomfortable! Training her is more tiring then running a marathon!

This morning I had spin class and then headed to the pool for a 2000m swim. I realized that my output is lacking. The power in my legs and my whole body is just not strong right now. I can do the work but I feel like my energy reserves to get me through the workout just aren't there. Of course this all relates to Chloe and the lack of rest I'm getting. We are going to have to work on this as 1/2 iron man training starts in a week.

I have tried out a new gadget that I got last week a couple of times now. Called sport count. It's a tiny stopwatch and lap counter. Cool thing is it slips on your finger and you just use your thumb to hit the button each time you finish a lap. It tells me my total laps, slowest lap, fastest lap, avg lap speed and my total time. With everything I've had on my mind this has been great. I'm always forgetting which lap I'm on or what meter I'm on. As long as I remember to hit the button each time it takes care of it for me. You would think it would slip off as I swim but not so. Comfortable, tiny, about the size of a nickel and very handy.

Tomorrow I will hit the pool again and then get some miles in. I need to jack up the running slightly this week so my body doesn't go into shock next week. At some point I would like to clean the house. But if I dare turn away from the dog I'll be cleaning one mess as she happily makes another.

If you happen to find my power, please return it. My guess is Chloe has it.
