So far today:

5:30-6 AM - Wake up, eat small breakfast, hydrate

6:00 - 6:37 AM - Run 5 miles

6:45 AM - Eat larger breakfast, shower, get dressed, putter around

7:30 AM - Go to work

8:00 - 11:30 AM - Pretend to be working while slacking off on the internet

11:30 AM - 12:30 PM - Lunch break

12:30 PM - Present - Resume slacking off

Thanks, but no cure needed. Having your one-year old little girl stir in the middle of the night, reach out to hold your arm, and then settle back to sleep is far from a disease...

wow, we're all very similar especially in that we never have time for rest. Amazing- no down time. I guess I like it that way but it makes for a lot of busy days in rapid succession.

_______________________________

Good athletes train when they want to, great athletes train when they don't......

I started to put my schedule down but it was way to wordy. Quick summary:

Summer- Work 30 hours/week (spread over 6 days with some "split shifts in there") Typical workday starts at 9 am; training 15-20 hours per week (peak of 25 hours for IMF)

Fall/Winter/Spring- No less than 50 hours per week and many weeks well over 60 at work. Typical workday starts at 6 am typically done between 5pm and 8 pm some days with a mid-day break to workout. Last year training for Ironman Arizona I averaged 8 hours training per week. I hope to work less and train more this year.

Right now I am in the calm before the storm.
