You Know You're Getting Old When...

...You have one more hard workout before an easy week and you can't motivate yourself to walk out the door.

How is it that I managed to ride my bike trainer for 5 hours yesterday, a feat that is mind-boggling even for me (someone who's done it before), and today I can't get psyched for a 2:45 run? It's the last hard day of three hard weeks. Next week I get to take it easy and recover. All I have to do is get through today's run. Why is that so difficult? And I only drank a small amount of alcohol last night, knowing I had a long run today.

I guess it's time to think about my Ironman race. When I get off the bike after 112 miles and I'm tired and my legs are jello and I have 26 miles left, do I give up? Heck no. Time to dig deep.
