Go me!

Where to start? Well, I think I left off on Wednesday. Thursday I did my spin class. Friday night Skyler and I took the train down to Oceanside, along with our road bikes. We biked from the train station to our hotel, about 6 miles away. The next morning we got up super early to spectate the Ford half Ironman. It was awesome. I decided that I am going to do a Half Ironman. My goal is to be at that particular Half Ironman in two years, but maybe I will be ready next year. We will see.

Last night I swam 90 laps (!) in 42:30 minutes. My pace wasn't great but I was going for endurance last night. It was the furthest I have ever swam before...about 1.4 miles. For the half Ironman, the swim is 1.25 miles. I can do that no problem. I think my biggest issue is the run. My knees might not make it that long. I know I can endure 13.1 miles but let's see if my body will hold up. Right now I need to focus on my race that is in 1 1/2 months. I am so excited!

So I have been really stepping up my workouts lately and pushing myself further. I have been really proud of myself and have been seeing a difference in my body. The bummer is Skyler. Yesterday I was telling him about my amazing swim distance and he said that I should try doing the ab machines at the gym. Come on! I am working my butt off (literally) and he is just concerned that my abs aren't looking how he wants. Talk about a downer. Sometimes I get mad at him and I want to punish him by eating bad foods. But then I remember that ruining my body will punish me too. I want to look great, not for him, but for myself. Done ranting!
