Movin' On Up

I've been working out pretty consistently now for the past 1 1/2 months, and am trying to continue to build my base leading up to the training plan. I keep going back and forth on how I want to approach the training. Some people look to be starting a training plan already, which I'm being told is too soon. I want to make sure I do EVERYTHING I can to prepare myself mentally in order to make it to the finish, but I also don't want to get burnt out (physically and mentally) by going for it too early. This week I've done 2 OTF classes so far, one swim lesson/training and nothing else. I plan to run 6-8 miles in the morning with another dip in the pool after, and then probably a break the next day, Sunday. I really need to get on the bike more, but I just loath the trainer! 30 minutes doesn't seem nearly long enough, while 60 feels like an eternity. I just can't wait for the weather to warm up and get some outside riding in, as well as with other folks to keep me company. I also need to get used to the new bike and especially the aero bars. The Shelbyville Tri series is coming up and I'm still on the fence about whether or not to do it. If I do, I'll end up using the road bike only, and more than likely sign up the day-of. At this point I wonder how, if one workout 4-5 days a week is draining me, I'm going to survive up to 6 days a week with sometimes 2 workouts a day. Not to mention juggling all of this with running a business. It definitely gets a little overwhelming at times, and then I read things on-line or peruse the FB pages of others' doing IMLOU and it makes it all seem worth it. I'm certain I'm not the only one who feels this way....
