Of this!
And the camera lasted the night with a picture at least every minute. That makes me confident that we did not have even one visitor. What that means it's obviously too early to say. The Internet says they will get a bit cautious for a day or two if their routine gets busted up, and I'd say killing the granddaddy may well qualify as messing with their routine. We shall see eh? Camera is set up and waiting!
And although I know that rat killing is much more exciting than my training (especially it seems for Kathy and Elly) I do wish to give you a brief update on that front as well.
I have really ramped everything up over the last 2 weeks or so, and really feel back in the groove. I am now swimming 5 times a week, riding 4, running 3, and doing weights twice. I am especially excited about the bike workouts. They are tough but rewarding. The only ones I don't really like are the long ones, as the boredom and the sore ass become challenging. Today I rode for 2 hours, 15 minutes and it seemed like a long time. Eventually that gets built up to more than 4 hours which is an awful long time to sit and think!
Like I said I feel back in the groove but I do have one little concern. The schedule doesn't really have anything that comes close to an easy day and all the experts warn against that. I'm gonna monitor it closely and see how it goes. The only thing I know for sure is that if I have to drop something it won't be the biking or the weights. I think both are crucial. Like the rat saga...we will see.
As I've cut back on the blogging a bit I've come to realize that one of the pressures I felt was the need to always come up with a quote. You may have noticed that I've stopped doing that entirely and it definitely helps. I may even find myself posting at least something on most days...we will see.

This quote resonates within me today and would like to share on your blog
ReplyDeleteJust remember to enjoy each experience that life gives you. Even tough times involve the opportunity to learn something new about yourself.
Glad to hear about the training and workouts! I hope it continues to go well for you and feel good for you.
ReplyDeleteAlso good to see that perhaps that big rat was the last of 'em! Maybe. I look forward to seeing what happens next either way.
