Getting it done

Basically, my mindset this week (which is less than perfect) is to get my workouts done. This is the first of about 4 big weeks of training that are essential to successfully completing an ironman triathlon. This morning I swam 3200 m which is a long swim; I did a 1000m warmup, 1000m pull and 20- 50metres fast and a 200m cooldown. Last evening I ran for about 50 minutes and it felt terrible starting out but got better. My legs were tired and heavy and I felt tired. Yesterday morning I swam 2500m and then the previous evening (Tuesday) I cycled for about 2 hours. This afternoon, I am going to run for 2 hours and 20 minutes. I have a route that I have been running regularly that is almost exactly 2 hours for me and I will just run 10 minutes further in one direction. I am taking this afternoon off work and tomorrow afternoon instead of taking all of Friday off which is what I am supposed to be doing. I find it easier to miss half a day of work than a whole day given how many real estate deals we have at work. Tomorrow i am not working out at all and then Saturday is a big day with 5 hours of cycling planned plus a run afterwards of about 45 minutes. (it is supposed to be an hour but i am not doing that)
