Day 24 – Wasn’t What I Was Expecting

Today was not what I expected.  First half of the day was just hard.  I won’t go into details, but after my morning workout everything kind of went to pot.  Most of it is my fault, but that’s as far as I’ll go here.  Because of that the rest of the day didn’t work out the way I was originally planning.  Had to cancel some errands altogether because of it, and just sort through it all for our sanity’s sake.

Afternoon workout had some major successes at least.  Not only did I go further on my Sprints at 9.69 miles in 35 minutes, but I was also able to keep my sprints at over 100 rpm on the bike, which is a HUGE first.  Most of the time my sprints may start out there, but by I get to sprint 10 I’m only doing 85-90 rpm or so, let alone when I have 15 of them.  By the end I am definitely closer to the 85 range in the past, but NOT TODAY!  Today they were all consistently over 100 rpm, all 15 sprints (10 at 0.4 miles each and 5 at 0.2 miles each) with 1 minute breaks in between!  Pretty hot and sweaty afterwards, but feel pretty good with that going so well!

Rest of my tasks are also done.  I finished my book for this week yesterday, and started another, The Art of War by Sun Tzu.  Lucky for me, I finished The Art of War today too!  I don’t know what I’m going to read tomorrow?  I’m thinking of starting next weeks book (The Art of War wasn’t even on my list originally).  I think I had the book Blink by Malcom Gladwell scheduled for next week, and with it not having audio available like some books (at least not without paying for it), starting the actual reading might be good to get ahead of it for next week. 

All my other tasks have been completed and I’m already writing this at 5 pm, a new record for me.  I don’t think this will happen often, as we don’t usually need to cancel errands completely like this.  Either way it Wasn’t What I Was Expecting.  Hope you have a better day!
