Jet Lagged

I have tried to get up early this week to work out or swim and haven't been able to. I had some very early mornings coming back from San Fransisco combined with late nights watching the Olympics. I also didn't realize the pool was going to be closed all weekend. so far this week, I have done hot yoga twice and swam once. I teach spin class tonight. I am thinking of going to UPEI tomorrow at lunch and running on the track indoors for a change. I am also thinking of finally getting on my bike trainor this weekend for a couple of hours.

The hardest thing for me is to slack off a bit. I think that is common with triathletes. It goes with the personality type. Even though everything you read says you should periodically give your body a rest, it is hard to do in practice. My new thing of doing hot yoga is probably allowed my body more of a break than its had in several years in addition to improving my flexibility. I really enjoy the fact that I can squat lower than I could before; I can bend my back further; I can stretch out my quads further etc.... I still have a ways to go and am not super flexible but it is helping a lot. I have been doing 3 hot yoga classes a week; 3 spin classes and about 3 swims plus running when i can.
