My goal this week was to hit every workout. Unfortunately I did not accomplish this, but came close to doing so.
Monday I biked and ran. Nothing interesting. I did it at home.
Tuesday was a big step in the right direction. Sabrina cancelled due to shingles and I got myself out the door by myself to the swimming pool. I then swam 1700 yards (which I didn't realize I had 1400 written down- so I did more than I needed to). For the main workout. It's really interesting looking at people though and you think you can beat them- well than they beat you. You can never really tell.
My next big accomplishment was going to the gym. Amber wasn't going to be there and I knew I needed to run 9 miles. I was planning on watching the movie in the theatre. Well I get to the gym and guess what is not working? The movie theatre!
I also knew I needed to run fast because I only had an hour 1/2 to run the 9. I made it to 8.11 because I had to take a bathroom break and I was a few minutes late getting started. The last few miles though I did super fast! (Well fast for what I've been running.) I did 8:40. I don't suggest this though because I definitely felt it the rest of the week.
Wed I worked out. Thursday I had my long bike. I biked for 3 hours! I woke up at 5:45 and biked for an hour. Drove the kids to school and got back on my bike. I tested out the new gel cream for the underparts and it worked pretty nicely. (I'm putting this in there- because some people have no idea this exists. DZNuts Bliss Chamois Cream for Women. $17.46 on Amazon) Amazon
Friday Charlie picked me up to go swimming. I was supposed to run afterwards but couldn't bring myself to. I was exhausted from not sleeping and having to get up and working out. I could still feel my muscles sore from running.
Saturday I had it in my mind to finish everything I didn't get done for the week but I lacked motivation. I slept in until 7 and then worked out for an hour and a half. I even turned the bike to 90% I didn't go swimming and I didn't do the run I needed to. Hunter had two church basketball games so I went and watched those. Jeremy went skiing and came home with Joseph sick, Tessa was already sick, and later that night Belle threw up.
I'm praying I don't get it. Jeremy travels this week for two days. My goal this week is to do the best I can and enjoy it. Focus on the fact that I can do this.
Overall I'm happy with how things went this week. I also ordered my jersey off of Amazon. Check out Pearl iZUMI Tri Tank. I decided on black because you always look slimmer. $46.63) it should be arriving tomorrow.
that I plan on wearing for the race. I hope it turns out ok.
