another fight with the Couchpotato

The Couch potato was back in full force today , I really had to work hard not to give in,just to explain a bit, I seem to have 2 personalities, the first one who is the Couch potato who doesn't want to do anything other than sit at home and do nothing.
The other half of me wants to be fit and healthy and enjoy life.Today was another day of cycling with the Triathlon Club planned , that would have been the third time we did this and by now I know what to expect.
It's is usually a though ride but manageable, so  I don't understand why  half of me did not want to go.
Part of me felt it would be too though , too exhausting etc. the other part just wanted to do this, to see where my limits are.
Today I could not quiet down the  Couch potato and I think the only Reason I still managed to do the Cycling Trip, was that I blindly followed my Routine, usually when I have a race or Event I follow in the morning the exact same procedure ( I was not really aware of this until today ).
I get up early, so that I have plenty of time . I have a coffee , listen to the news , wait with breakfast until the optimal time ,get dressed , pack stuff etc.Today I had to follow this step by step and told myself in 5 minutes I will do this and in 10 minutes I will do that , with that I succeeded in getting out of the Door and do the cycle Trip.
Amazingly the Cycle trip was not even very though , we had a few new starters and it was this time a slower ride than last time , yes it was hilly again but I didn't mind.
At times it was actually too slow and my Legs got cold and to top it off I know I could have done a run after the Bicycle ride, that was the first for me . Very slowly I see improvements , I know I'm not even remotely ready for the Olympic Triathlon  but if I can continue the Training then at least I should be able to enjoy the Race in June.

Summary for February is :
4 hrs of running ( Far too little I know )
15:35 hrs of Cycling ( not bad )
1:15 hrs Swimming ( again not enough )
5:00 hrs of Yoga , Cross Training , Aerobics etc

There a space for bit more ;o)
