Quick Catch Up...
I hope that everyone had a super fabulous holiday weekend! Ours was filled with couch riding, relaxation and even a few workouts.
There's a lot that I could write right now, but truthfully...I'm really tired and a bit behind on blogging...so I'll just give you the quick and dirrrrty run down from the past few days.
Here's what you missed on the workout front...
Friday...
4 mile run at 48:51 (12:07 pace)...fabulous run! Beautiful morning! Really felt great coming off of Thursday night's JP Morgan Challenge.
40 minute swim for 1200 yards (3m 20s/100 yards)...a nice, healthy mix of kickboard drills, breast stroke, back stroke and freestyle.
Saturday...
Woke up and it was pouring...soooo...we bailed. Oops!
Sunday...
Terrible, terrible bike ride. 15.79 miles in 1:52:56...a measely 8.39 mph. Seriously. It was awful. I must learn to loosen up and dance with my bike...or else every ride is going to turn into a miserable sufferfest. And that just can't happen...especially if I'm going to be seriously considering a 70.3 next year...which, for the record...I am considering one. But the bike could be the determining factor that makes me not want to do anything above an olympic distance tri. We'll just have to see. ...as I type this right now, I think Mike is signing me up for another triathlon up in Waukegan.
Monday...
Who needs to workout when you can ride the couch, shop, and go to the cubs game and stuff your face silly with food that's reaaaaaaaaaaally bad for you!?
Tuesday...
Running with Coach Leah & Jason!! 6 fabulous miles in 1h12m (12:00 pace) followed by 10x100 strides on the track. Total distance of 7.25. The best news though? I was able to run 4.5 miles straight without stopping to walk or deal with some nagging pain (this is HUGE people...really really really huge!!!!!) so after a quick minute walk and answering nature's call and I was back to finish the last 1.5 strong. Love, love, loooooooooove the new running shoes. They're super awesome. The strides weren't as bad tonight as they were before.
For now, it's off to bed I go...time to curl up with my latest inspirational read, courtesy of my hubby...today he surprised me with the Brook's visor I had been eyeing and the book, Becoming and Ironman.
So with that....farewell and goodnight!
