My iron journey this week is slow going! So, I'm in the second week of experimenting with orientation for Trifuel, and its going fine. Just that the "iron" I've pushed most recently has been the ice chopper. I saw my driveway just in time to have it snow and blow about 3-4 foot drifts across it and my sidewalk again.
"nuff said- well except that I've not started my snowblower all winter and I doubt it wants to start today. This is not good. Once again weighlifting could take on a different form today. Kids are two hours delayed and yet my teenager is at his dad's so that's no help to me!
The mind is the biggest factor in training there's no doubt. For the last two weeks I've done an easy run in the evening as a second workout on two different days. I haven't preferred to run late in the day for about 20 years! My knees and head just feel better doing that early in the day. I could bike late, lift late, swim late(that's just a nuisance late in the day) but not run- or so I had my mind made up.
My mind set has changed to - if that's what I have to do, that's what I have to do. It has felt great actually!
I'm off to set my mind on clearing the driveway and then hitting the bike right now! I'll let you know how it goes!
