Your idea of "happy hour" is drinking chocolate milk while taking an ice bath.

Happy Hour came early at our house today.

When you hit snooze on your rest day your husband is worried that you might be sick, you roll over and explain that you set the alarm out of habit and it's a recovery day, then get up because you can't sleep past 5AM.

Your husband tells everyone you're training for Ironman. When you attend work events his colleagues (that you've never met) ask how your 100 mile ride went last weekend.

You resort to drinking beverages out of water bottles at home because the effort of getting out a glass is just too much.

You car smells like a locker room and always contains gear for a spur of the moment workout.

Some of your neighbors are concerned that you and your husband may have been fighting because your car is always gone before they get up in the morning. Additionally, the rest of your neighbors think you've switched to the night shift because of the odd hours you keep.

On your rest day you make meals for the next week and a half and they're gone in three days.
