The First Two Weeks

Exhaust (verb): to drain of strength or energy, wear out, or fatigue greatly, as a person.

Exhausted. It's a word I've used many times to describe how I'm feeling, but without truly understanding its meaning. After a little more than 2 weeks of training, I better understand.

Thank you to those of you who have taken the time to call/text/message to ask how training is going. Let me just give you a rundown of the first 14 days of training:
6 swim workouts totaling 6 miles
5 run workouts totaling 25 miles
5 cycling workouts totaling 100 miles
4 strength training workouts
4 yoga workouts

Now you can see why my responses have been short and to the point ... I'm tired.

Tired, but LOVING it!
Loving that I have a challenge to conquer.
Loving that I am able to see how my body handles the increased workload.
Loving that I am witnessing progress.

And the voices in my head have been oddly quiet. Either they are resigned to the fact that I am commited or ... they, too, are just tired.
