I cant believe I have been so Busy since Saturday! I hope all of you had a Wonderful, Mushy Valentines Day! I spent mine feeling not so hot after work but then a couple hours later was ready to Tackle my new Bike!
- I have to Say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my New Bike. Its like it Purrs on the Trainer! One thing I do have to do is switch out that lovely Seat and Get a White Adamo or Koobi Saddle. I have Been Looking at the Koobi Xenon Saddle and the reviews on it have been great so I might go with this one! Check it out at All3sports.com
- Today, I nailed my Tempo Run!! I had a Ave 8:32 for 4 miles. After this I thought I was going to blow chunks, but hey, I did it the way coach wanted me to. Just kidding I was fine afterwards!
- Swimming is back and forth. One day I feel good the next I am frustrated at how my swimming is going. I have a love hate relationship with the pool. Especially now that I am starting to incorporate flip turns into the deal. Hey, If I wanna act like I can swim I need to do it.
- Nutrition is iffy still. Darn Holidays always revolve around CANDY! I refused cookies yesterday but I did not deny myself a handful of Peanut M&Ms!
- I was thinking of changing to Carbo Pro Products/ First Endurance for Nutrition. Im still reading up on both. I have intestinal issues with everything So I want something that isn't going to make my stomach hurt
- I was really annoyed that a woman bigger than me, Plus size wore a Sports bra and Capris today at the gym. Let me tell you she had it all hanging out. But she wasn't ashamed of herself at all and I think this is what annoyed me because I am so self conscious and here she is saying she doesn't give a hoot. Shes going to be cool while she works out. I still wouldn't be caught doing it. I will admit I do wear only this on the trainer while in the comfort of my own home.
- Last note, the cold here stinks! It has been Freezing and Windy! Spring needs to get here FAST!
Onto the Numbers for last week. I did miss a few workouts due to my endoscopy and my needing a bucket to lean over afterwards for a while.
Ok Here you go:
Swim - 6000 meters 2 hours 45 min
Bike- 4 hours 35 min- Trainer
Run- 18.05- 3 hours
Strength- 1 hour 30 min
Total time: 11 hours 54 min.
Have a great week!

Good job on your tempo run! I'm the same way with my swimming. One day I feel great, and the next I feel sucky! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI see women all the time wearing clothes they have no business wearing, but they are the most confident people ever! It drives me crazy, b/c like you, I'm pretty self-conscience too. Maybe someday I'll have that level of confidence!
I want spring here too. Today it actually got to 65 and it was AWESOME!
I hear ya on the swim workouts. That is the most up and down thing that I do. I attribute it to the fact that I don't really like swimming and that I suck at it!
ReplyDeleteLove that you are lovin' the new bike (hint hint... I have a code on my blog for 15% off at All3Sports if you are going to buy the saddle!!!) :) And congrats on the tempo - feeling like you might hurl means you worked hard! Atta girl!
ReplyDeleteI see some outdoor workouts coming Thursday and Friday with temperatures in the upper 40s and then middle 50s. Warm enough to be out in a sports bra and capris, eh. I would think though the roads are going to be a mess for running let alone biking with potholes and all the salt rocks around. I'm sure you are babying the new bike anyways. The weatherman
