The Ironman-In-Training Curse
>> Sunday, August 26, 2007
It’s a huge paradox. A bit of a catch-22. Maybe a little ironic too. I have 2 points to make:
1. Training for an Ironman gives you an awesome body.
With all of that training, one achieves great muscle definition, super-duper stamina, increased lung capacity, and just a sweet, sweet body. Hmmm... a married couple, both training for an Ironman, both young and fit... Do I need to paint you a picture?
“Let’s stay in tonight...” Wink, wink. I think you know what I’m taking about.
Sex. I’m taking about sex. Young, hot, fit, SMOOTH, sweaty, IM-in-training sex.
That leads me to point number 2: The Paradox:
2. Training for an Ironman makes you tired.
Very tired. This is a conversation that takes place a few times a week in our bedroom around 11 pm. The 2 members of this conversation are just “A” and “B” because Pharmie or I may play either roll on any given night.
A: “Ummm...ya wanna?”
B: “Well...I don’t know. I have to hit the pool early tomorrow.”
A: “I guess I’m pretty pooped anyway. And I need to get up and bike early tomorrow. Maybe we can have some ‘Mommy and Daddy time’ sometime soon.”
B: *snoring*
A: *snoring*
Stupid paradox. Here are my emotions summed up in a photo:

LOL!
That photo says a thousand words.
Far Wayyy to much TMI,
But I totally understand. Try to explain your tired or need to workout to a wife that is not IM training.
I think I would be on floor sleeping by the time that picture got taken.
lol
that picture is priceless.
Love it! As always, I'm laughing.
Great point. Glad to see that you still had enough energy to craft it.
right.... what is sex again?
No kids at home? At least 10 years younger than me? At 8 o'clock, it should be business time.
Maybe this is what the taper is for? I don't remember seeing this in Joe Friel's book.
As a married guy myself with a wife who's just recently started running, I can say that post is as true as it is funny!
Damn funny...but only because it's true! I feel like that picture too, sometimes. :)
You post cat-licking and shaving photos, but we don't get to see the hot toned IM-couple erotica pics? Boo!
And at the risk of being creepy (but you started it), I'm wondering what kind of role-playing goes on behind those closed IM doors. I think Steve puts on his Professor Dork clothes and makes Pharmie stay after class.
That's the funniest picture I've ever seen!!!
Why can't you just get to the bedroom before 11:00? Say 10:55 LOL!!!
Thanks for the stroll over to my blog. My wife and I are volunteering doing body marking so it is possible you will run into us. (My penmanship is bad so hopefully someone else will mark you). We'll be at the finish from about 6PM to midnight so we should see you cross.
Now that is hilarious! I can so see your point! Catch-22 it is!
That is my life at night, but I make it up during the day.
It's more fun in the light!
