First bout with doubt

No, I'm not talking about doubt that I can finish this IronMan adventure I started 10 weeks ago.

Yesterday was the first day since I started that I really missed bodybuilding. I missed lifting, feeling a good pump in my muscles, and just the lifestyle of it. I started doubting my committment and desire to complete this IronMan journey.

This morning I was leaning towards bodybuilding and decided to walk the Alcon track for some Low Intensity Cardio, then at lunch I would lift legs. Well, I walked for 5 min or so, then just wanted to run. I ran another 2.5 miles and LOVED it.

I expected to second guess myself. Anytime you step outside your comfort zone, it's difficult and you may want to quit. I'm going to press on to see how this swimming comes along.
