No Sweat

So what do you do when you have a couple of weekdays off work and training?

  • You become the dogs favourite person after taking him for extended walks.
  • Sleep in until 8 o'clock and somehow feel like you have wasted the day.
  • Decide you are going to be very productive and do a whole lot of house work.
  • Realise how little house work you actually do when the other half comes home.
  • Because you now have so much time, you lose all time management skills.
  • Decide it would be nice to go shoe and dress shopping with the wife.
  • Wonder why you went shoe and dress shopping after the line, "Of course I'm not going to try it on today. I'm just not in the mood."
  • Discover how much time facebook can waste.
  • Since the criteria is not to sweat, come up with a weights routine focusing on strength that will hurt, but not induce sweating.
  • Stress that you are going to lose every bit of fitness gained over the last few months of training.
  • In the end, realise that you actually needed a couple of easy days.
  • Sleep a quality nights sleep.
  • Develop some renewed motivation for the next few weeks of training.

  2. Yep, facebook is a shocker for wasting time off work - half the day is gone because all your mates are on it during various times of their working day!

  3. Hilarious! I can definitely relate. I have been guilty of #7, but kudos to you for shopping with your wife. I can't get my husband into the car if he thinks shopping might be involved. Since I have today off, I am also #1 in my dog's eyes.

  4. Now, if I were a triathlete and had a couple of weekdays off, I'd be doing three sessions per day ;)
