Gym day

Yesterday I hit the gym. I did some staggered sprints (?). I ran one minute at 8.0 mph (7:30), then one minute at 9.0 mph (6:40). I did this for 1.15 miles. Then took a two minutes break then did it again for 1 mile. Finished with 30 minutes on stairmaster.

Today I would like to do some weights. No running or calves because I have a 10k race on Thursday morning....Dana Point Turkey Trot.

In the Dirt Triathlon

I rarely post pictures on here because I usually post them everywhere else, but I think this race deserves an exception.

Saturday I raced in the In the Dirt Triathlon at Vail Lake near Temecula. The race was a 1/2 swim, 13 mile mountain bike, and 4 mile trail run. It was a tough course, but a lot of fun! There were five of us who did the race.

Dave, Rhett, Skyler, me, and Todd.

Brandon was there to get some great pictures. I love this one of me on the bike.

I finished strong with a smile on my place. I knew I had accomplished something I didn't think was possible. I got FIRST PLACE out of all of the women. There weren't a ton of women racing, but it is still a pretty big deal. I was so excited!!!

Ask who was first out of the water? That was me, by one second. Sorry honey, maybe next time!

Catch-up

Looks like I have a week's worth of workouts to catch up on.

Saturday-8 mile run. About 68 minutes.

Monday-Ran on treadmill at gym. One mile 6:58, 2:00 rest, 6:58 mile. Then I got horrible cramps. Went home.

Tuesday-At-home arm workout. Cleaned house for two hours.

Today-nothing. My mom is taking me out for dinner. I need the workout. Maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow and go running. No better way to start off my birthday than an early-morning run.

Oh, I also decided to race in the In The Dirt Tri with Skyler on Saturday. 1/2 swim, 14 mile mountain bike, 4 mile run. I'm not as prepared as I could have been. I will do fine on the swim and run. I haven't had a lot of mountain bike time in lately. It will be fun though.

Swimming

I'm back into swimming! Yesterday I swam 108 laps (1-1/2 miles) in 48:20 minutes. It's not a horrible time, but I can definitely do better.

Tonight I'm going to a spin class.

My feet need a rest

Went to Mammoth last weekend. Snowboarded for a few hours. Saturday we hit the gym for three hours. A little carido, some core training, lots of weight lifting, and swimming.

Monday I did a long run. I didn't realize it would get dark so early. I was running in the pitch black night for half of my run. I ran 8 miles in 64 minutes. Not bad!

Yesterday I did a cardio workout at home.

Tonight I want to swim.

Don't Worry

I may not be up to date, but I am still working out. Sunday was the Muddy Buddy. Skyler and I placed 2nd in our age group! We were so excited to be on the podium together.

Monday I swam.

Tuesday I ran at the gym. 6:58 mile on the treadmill. Then a 7:30 mile. Then cool down. Followed by 30 minutes on stairmaster.

Yesterday did a short ab workout at home.

Today I want to run far and fast!
