Jen and I will be heading out the door in a few hours for our cruise!  We'll be driving to Miami today and leaving port tomorrow afternoon.  The trip includes stops in Cozumel, Belize, Grand Cayman, and Isla Roatan.  I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Jen for our 9 year anniversary which is coming up in a few weeks.

So far the mid season break is going well.  I've stuck to the plan even though it was very tempting to get out and rip my legs to shreds.  After a poor performance at Steelhead 70.3 my motivation to go out and tear it up is very high.  I was ready to get back to full training by Tuesday mentally but physically I think a break is a good idea.  One thing I've noticed this week is that I've been having a really hard time sleeping.  I'll wake up at 3am and can't fall back asleep.  This has happened the last three nights.  Instead of laying in bed all night I typically get up and work on the new version of the training log.  I think my body is a bit shocked since I didn't train for a couple of days in a row.

Signing out for a week.....
