I wrote this post a few days ago and never posted it...
We are down to the last month of training and the peak of our training program before the big taper. I woke up a few mornings ago with a sore left lymph node- a sign of the beginnings of getting sick. I have been drinking Emergen-C, water, and tea like crazy. A new Emergen-C came out with Glucosamine and Chondroitin for joint health- why not?
Matt and I completed a trainer ride this evening after the thunderstorms threatened our workout. I remember now why I just ditch the workout on rainy days...the trainer is a mental marathon. Minutes seem like hours. Part of me wants to do more of these for the convenience, but the other part is screaming "NO WAY!". Why is it that I can endure what my husband calls 'mind-numbing' laps in the pool for over an hour but yet I can't sit on my bike on the trainer for an hour? I have the same problem with running, even outside. I can't get my mind into running further than 6 miles. I know my body can do it but my mind slows me down. Anyone have a quick-fix for this or should I just read some motivational articles before I go out?
