Hard to focus

When life gets in the way of training, what do you do? I try to refocus, and take my training one day at a time. But lately, that has meant I havent gone to the gym, and Ive been spending more time resting my body than working it. That is good and bad. Obviously, I have needed the rest, especially as I have been sleeping 8-12 hours a night for the last few weeks if I can. It is as if my body is fighting something off and it needs all that extra rest it can get (or could it be my infant son waking me up at least once a night that still leaves me unrested?). But at this point, especially as the 1/2 marathon is looming only 4 weeks away, I need to get my butt back to the gym, get my body moving.

Last night was Masters, and I was on my way there, right after I took a little rest that is, and wouldnt you know it, but I woke up at 7am this morning to realize I missed it. And tonight is Happy Hour, a funky dance/movement class that I intend to go to at 6pm. But I have a massage scheduled for 4:30. Wonder if that will energize me or make me drive home to bed again?

Needless to say, I have been to the doctor, and have a few things going on, but nothing that should affect my energy. Perhaps it is the dread of doing the 1/2 marathon when I was plagued with injury and pain all during my tri season...and I doubt my ability to finish. Or maybe its just that Im a lazy butt that enjoys TV in the evening with my family more than working out? Probably both, but I am committed to at least trying to get back to my training (dont you like that-committed to trying). I know, there is no TRY, only TRI and DO (and DU-but thats another blog)...
