I read a note from Coach that another coach has been reading all her athletes blogs and writing her with emails on why she is making someone run an extra 5 miles, why someones bike isn't up to par. Let me tell you that is the worst you could do as a coach. I love my coach and I love the attention she gives to me. I may not be a all star triathlete but inch by inch I have made progress in both training and nutrition. I know what I need to do as an athlete to get to where I want to be. I think is is very unprofessional to beat up another Coach. Just my opinion. And if you are reading my blog write now, I dont care how you feel about my training. It is just right for the quality amount of time I can give to the sport.
Ok, enough about that. On another note..I actually ENJOYED my training run today. I was supposed to run the last training run of the Mountain Goat course but it has been swamp land here with the rain so that didn't happen. I went to the gym and did 10.2 miles in 1:30!! This is minus the hills of course but I wanted to see if I could push it. Granted my heart rate was occasionally 160s but average 158! I think I could've pushed even more!
I snagged a Great Pair of 2XU compression socks from Fleet Feet Syracuse. They were half off and I had a $25 coupon! Figure that one out! Woo hoo!!
While I was there I snagged up a pair of Vibram Bikila's I struggled to get them on at first but I've put them on a few times now and they are perfect! I didn't get a pair in Pink as I wanted because my "boat" size 41 did not have this color available.
And last but not least I finally Got my Shipment of First Endurance! The delivery man was so nice to even put it in a garbage bag so it didn't get wet! Im eager to start using the products! I have opened the Ultragen and EFS drink mix to smell them and let me tell you they both smell so good! Tomorrow I will try the EFS grape flavor drink on my 3.5 hour bike ride. Im hoping I will be able to get outside!
I was downloading Camera Pics and Came across these from a few weeks ago. I was watching my daughter run. I love her form! So carefree!
Thats all folks! Happy Training!
Yay for good stuff in the mail!!
ReplyDeleteI love those tights. I have a pair and really like them for my long runs!
I'd love to know more about the Core Diets! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for the new stuff! Anxious to hear how you life the First Endurance! I love love love the Ultragen for my post race recovery and I use the Grape EFS drink and it's yummy! A little salty tasting at first, but it's good!
Nice grab with both the socks AND VFF Bikilas. I'd be interested to know what you think of the Bikilas! I want a pair myself, but haven't been able to justify the purchase just yet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Bikilas, I LOVE mine more and more every day. Haven't tried compression socks yet, but I might have to get me a pair someday soon...
