Week #9 Ramblings

Today is one of those mornings where I am just plain tired. It's been a busy week of Christmas shopping, holiday concerts, parties, and workouts. Granted, it is a stabilizer week so my training is lesser than usual. I woke up this morning thinking that I would just "put off" my swim for later in the weekend. Then I realized...this is nothing. I so need to push through my fatigue and do the workout. It's only going to get harder from here. I'm not injured or in pain or sick...just a little tired. Do it while I have the chance!!

My training week is coming along nicely, a couple rides, one run, two swims (after today), and a 24 mile ride tomorrow...which will have to be on the trainer. It's freezing outside.

Last night we celebrated my husband's sixth Christmas party for his businesses. It was a wonderful time to reflect on the past years and see the people and families represented around the table. I am so grateful and proud of his hard work, diligence, and heart. We have seen firsthand God's work.

So, onto another day and weekend. I am reminded of the amazing joy of this season as I look at our Christmas tree, filled to the brim with ornaments; the snow outside; and the warmth of our home. Hopefully I can maintain this spirit once the kids wake up. That's the real trick!
