When the only thing that may get you through dinner with your trump supporting family is tequila. It means drinking straight from the fucking bottle.

I knew this was going to happen when I came home and I was just hoping they would be somewhat quiet about everything. But, no. I got a leacture in the car from my father. It took all my will power not to just open the door and tuck and roll after telling him to stop and trying to change the subject.

I just can’t and may even consider changing my flight home at this point if they continue on like they did this evening. The worst part is I can’t even talk and confide with my own husband about all this because he doesn’t agree with me either. Sorry, Tom I know you’ll read this, but it’s true and it’s hard to not be able to talk to the one person I want to about this.

On a completely different note though, I went for a run. There are way more hills than I’m used too. I wore too many layers, but overall a decent run in my old stomping grounds.

Then got a cold brew with pumpkin cold foam, cause you know gotta be a basic bitch before all the pumpkin goes away again.

Then things just went downhill from there. But tomorrow is a new day. I have Netflix to watch or even maybe a Disney movie to just zone out on with and two shots of tequila in me. 😔

1h 15min on the trainer this afternoon. 🚴

My cheer squad came down to keep me company and make sure I stayed safe on my bike. It’s hard work for them to make sure I stay safe. Maddie took a nap and Tobey took to just staring at me for a while before he also decided to nap.

Saturday’s bike ride. I was gonna run that morning but of course got a call right as I was gonna head out the door. So bike ride it was.

30 minutes on the trainer.

Obviously yesterday was a pretty good day as well finding out that Biden/Harris will most likely be our president/Vice President.

Today’s 45 minute run. 4 miles. I haven’t run 4 miles in a long time. Did a bit of run 2min walk 30sec and that seemed to go well.

I of course got a call early this morning right when I was gonna get up. They’re about an hour from the house. So I packed my run stuff cause I was determined I would run after that call. I did and went to the bike trail near us. It was nice to have a bit different scenery.

Did my own little turkey day 5k this morning. Not my fastest time, but it’ll do for where I’m at.

We had a thanksgiving lunch cause Tom has to work. He’s a waiter and it’s mandatory that everyone works. So now I’m in the recliner with the puppy laying on my lap while I watch Netflix.

It’s been a pretty decent day.

Yesterday morning I got my run in before work!! It was 30 degrees and then later that day it was almost 70. I won’t lie I hate that it gets dark so early but love that the sun is up earlier.

It was a pretty good run overall and I’m so happy I got out of bed earlier so I could.

Then that same evening I swam. I hate swimming on tuesdays right now because I’m so tired. I usually have a really big herd check on tuesdays right now and it really makes my arms like jello. One more week of that anyways.

Friday I got on my bike for an indoor ride. After I spent an hour changing my back tire cause the old tire was gonna blow out the side wall. The brand new tire was a bitch to get the last little bit in, but finally after much swearing I got it on! I’ll need to work on my tire changing skills again so I can get faster.

Saturday I got to the pool cause they have weekend hours now! Got 2000yards in. Nothing too exciting. I feel like I’ve gotten so slow recently and it’s frustrating. But I can swim right now so I’ll take it.

Then got on my bike for another 30minute ride. I was suppose to run, but I had to go get my bridesmaid dress alterations done cause I’ve put it off to the last minute. To be honest I forgot about it and the wedding is on the 24th and we leave on the 21st. 😬

Either way I’m getting my time in and getting back into the routine. I will have missed one run this week and possibly a bike. Sunday will be run and swim and possibly get on the bike again.

This was your Ironman training report for the week.

30min bike and then 15 min run Friday morning. 🚴 🏃🏼‍♀️

Friday ending up being a really good day. It started with PA and GA flipping blue.

Then I found out my friend from my old job got offered the job she interviewed for. Which means she gets to finally get out of that toxic work place!!!! I’m so excited for her. I cannot wait for her to give her notice and start on her new journey.

My old boss found me at the wedding and made it point to say that driving all the way down wasn’t worth it for the bride. I was a bridesmaid and I would have been there even if I wasn’t. This girl means the world to me and I would do anything to support her. He tried to act all high and mighty and pretend like he was really good. Then I found out he went and talked to the groom and basically wished she would have fallen out of the mule drawn carriage. Actually said he wished he had a BB gun to shoot the mule and watch them take off and watch her fall out of the carriage. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Needless to say she is pretty happy to be leaving that horrible place. I hope she makes him cry and then everyone else that works there leaves him. He is a horrible human being. I just never thought someone could be so malicious.

1 hour 15min ride. Wasn’t too bad. I think my sit bones are finally breaking back in cause I’m not as sore after my rides.

Spent the morning cleaning. We got a carpet cleaner cause there was one on sale at Walmart the other day. $75 for a carpet cleaner is a pretty good deal, originally $160. So we washed the upstairs living room carpet and it was pretty gross even after two passes. Cleaned the couch as well. Needless to say it’s pretty tedious and the downstairs carpet needs a cleaning too. On the docket for another day.

Overall a pretty good Sunday.
