But I must!

Hello blog world!  I had a great weekend of workouts and some cleaning then more workouts then more cleaning and a little more vegging in front of Netflix than I'd like to admit!    On Saturday I had a great time riding with an old friend of my mine that during my first IM training four years ago use to ride half of my training ride with me then I'd finish the rest out on my own.  We have reconnected and it was great getting to catch up!  It makes it feel like IM training is official now!

On Sunday I got up and did a solo 9 mile run and felt great although my pace was a little slower than I thought.  Then I got home and knew I had to do 1700 m swim and as I stretched and sat down it felt sooooo good I could feel myself, slippping into rest mode.  I thought how bad do I really need to do that swim?  Then all of a sudden I thought of that old SNL skit making fun of Antonio Banderas

NO! NO! Antonio! Too sexy! Too sexy. . . .Ahhh but I must.

So I got up and said outloud (I don't know why cause I am by myself) "BUT I MUST!"  And proceeded to change into my swim suit.  The only problem is it wasn't any where near as sexy as if it was Antonio saying "But I must!" and unbuttoning his shirt.  :-)  But the point being I went for the swim!  

What tactics do you use to get yourself out there when you don't want to?  Me, humor obviously! and the thought of being sexier!

Am I the only one that thought that skit was funny?  Or worse am I the only one that remembers it?
