I didn't forget, I remembered!

BIKE 40 mins and maybe 10 miles?
SWIM 43 mins and 1500y
BIKE COMMUTE 13 miles

What a morning. First off, Welcome February and new goals! One of which was to hold to a pre-planned morning schedule that included a bike, a swim, and a commute. The bike was short, not sure how short because I didn't have the needed battery for the bike computer, and after the dog walk I was 15 mins behind schedule. I take off and get a mile from the house when I realize I didn't have my bike lock for the pool

Turn around. Go back. Didn't skip the swim. Didn't get mad. Didn't let it get to me. ProBee! I was only a mile away, so I framed it as I remembered before I was two miles away, got to see Sugar again, and got an extra 2 miles of ride.

Then at the pool I got halfway down the steps when I realized I forgot to turn the lights off on the bike. Back up the steps, past all the seniors drinking coffee in the lobby, joke with the woman behind the front desk. I framed it as, at least I remembered before I was undressed or wet.

Geez what else was I going to forget today? I'm distracted with the new Feb goals, not many changes from January but apparently enough. The bike was 3x3' ILTs and 15' TT. The swim was 5x (100S,100P, 100K) instead of the prescribed 200's and 300's. My form falls off too fast for those distances right now. I'm being patient with the ILT drills and swimming. Picking something to focus on for each 50y interval. Reminding myself that this just needs some time.

I miss running, but not terribly much. I commented to TV today at lunch that I usually run long on Wednesdays so it's different to not run. It's a good change, and like I said I don't seem to miss running all that much really.

Ordered the new Garmin just a few mins ago!! Got the marsala red :) If they had a GOLDEN color I would have selected that one!

ETA: Hit the threesome on the bike commute home -- forgot to put on my bike shoes and didn't realize it until I went to hop on Puppy outside the building. Ugh.
