Day two started early with a bike ride at 5:00am. Based on the lessons I learned from the clavicle incident, I decided that it was not wise to hit the road at this time of the morning. This meant for a long, boring ride on the dreaded trainer. I really hate riding on the trainer. In the future, I'm going to effort to adjust my schedule to ride during daylight hours, but today I had an early meeting, so it was unavoidable. It was a huge struggle to get out of the bed and make it downstairs and the temptation to say "Screw it, I'm going back to bed," was strong.
It is very clear at this point that my ability to discipline myself to hit all of my early morning workouts will determine how successful I'm going to be in this effort. Today was a win, even if it was miserable. This is an important lesson to remember: you don't have to enjoy something to do it successfully. You just have to realize that the prize outweighs the sacrifice. If I can't convince myself of this on a daily basis, I'll never complete 119 more days of training. Maybe I need to get a tattoo or something as a reminder. Hmmm....
