"Fried"

How do people with a job do this?  I'm not even sure how I did it myself last time around, especially considering that I was still travelling at the time.  I can not help but think that the consistency that I can apply to my efforts since my new found freedom will pay off.  I'm sure I made some fitness gains today based on the way I feel right now.  I am exhausted.  Swim this morning, followed immediately by my leg weights which I now do at the gym (better equipment), and then right after lunch a nice refreshing ride around the block (70 kms).    The weather was indeed a "wee" bit better, in that at least the sun was shining the entire trip.  I finished up the day at the pool again since it was parent/child day at swim lessons.  Somehow I got volun"told" that I was the lucky parent.  Apparently Mom and Roo don't do swimming!  Actually I really enjoyed it, and I think the kids did too.  I got to swim to the bottom of the pool, jump off the diving board, and swing on the rope.  Oh....and swim lengths!!!  Woohoo....

Speaking of new found freedom, along with that comes those awkward moments where people ask you what you "do".  And of course they don't mean what you "do" for fun, or what you "do" at home or what you "do" in the bathroom.   I'm still working my way through that.  I am determined that I am not gonna use the retirement, or even semi-retirement words, and yet I don't want to have to explain to anyone.  I'm thinking of telling people I'm a professional triathlete.  Ha ha.  I'm interested if you got any ideas.
