What to do!?

Monday was supposed to be my great start to the next 8 weeks of awesome training. One guess...not awesome. I woke up got my things ready for a 1800yd swim and then 30 min run. Saw the inhaler on the counter and decided i would not need it, so off i drove to the gym. Upon arrival I hurried in to get started. To my surprise two fellow triathletes were already doing their swim workout, so I put myself in the lane next to them. We greeted one another and then I started my morning swim. 200yds in and I felt really good and then it hit..should of grabbed the inhaler! I swam another 100 and couldn't go any further. Panic had overcome my body and I was totally embarrassed. DUH!!! I let my breathing calm down and then tried again, only able to do 50. So I got out and gathered my stuff and went home. I called my husband and starting crying. I was so mad at myself for seeing the inhaler and not bringing it. It's so frustrating to feel so strong, and yet be so weak. I never had this problem as a teenager, so why now?
I'm sure there are a list of things...I'm older, I now have allergies, I'm allergic to dogs and cats. Whatever the cause is, I don't like it. I told myself I would get back to the gym that evening, but I didn't make it due to previous appointments.
Tuesday would now be my awesome start to the next 8 weeks. My husband came home after an office mtg and watched the kids for me while I went to the gym. The swim went a little slower than I planned, but I did some good technique work so that was fantastic. My run was great. I ran 1 mile and then did some 1 min sprints. Overall a super start!
I'm finding out that alot of my training is going to need to be me working on my frame of mind. So many times we can talk ourselves out of working out and getting so bent out of shape about something that we just give up. So my goal for this week is to be POSITIVE! Sometimes things will not go my way. There will be days when my body will work against me, but I am strong and I can turn things around.
