Ironman Prep Day 21 Nov 5

DAY OFF!!!!!

AND the weather has gotten so much better, despite a cold Southerly coming through.

As you can probably tell, my mood is much happier at the moment, if you have been reading my blog. That's one thing I notice about depression, the emotional roller coaster has much higher highs and much lower lows. There is a middle ground where things are less intense. While the highs are great, and all embracing, there is the reality that things don't always last. That bubble can burst, and often does over a minor thing. That then ruins everything for a much longer time than the high you were ever on.

Went for a swim/run session at Thorndon Pool + Botanical Gardens with Jane. The southerly did not help being wet straight out of the pool. I did get my minimum 4 swims this week ..YEAH!!!

I think I might have a little bit of money left from my bonus + bills to do some Christmas shopping. One other thing I have been noticing since I started medication, I don't have that appetite to spend spend spend. I couldn't hold money, I needed to buy things all the time, probably to make myself feel good, just like eating. All those addictions/adrenaline rushes seem to have dissipated of late, which I know for Jane, is a relief.

So another 7 days come and gone, 120 days until Ironman, 63 until Tauranga Half, 35 until Taupo Half with the family team and 15 days until Auckland. B-R-I-N-G  I-T  O-N!!!!
