Almost There!

Last week was a pretty good workout week. Monday I ran, my knees still hurt, so I didn't run far. Tuesday I swam 80 laps at AH pool. Wednesday, short run with Pumpkin and swim that night. Thursday, hill climbs on my bike during two hour ride. Friday, nothing. Saturday, speed workout at track. Sunday, two hour bike ride.

Monday-4 mile run. I think I have IT band issue so I've been doing stretches and it's helped. No pain on run. Tuesday night, swim. Tonight, short run? Tomorrow, short bike ride? Friday, nothing. Saturday, race day.

I think I can do better this year. My swimming is probably about the swim. T1 should be 1-2 minutes faster. I would like to be 5-10 minutes faster on bike. T2 should be 1 minute faster. Run should be 5-10 minutes faster. My goal is to break 6 hours, but I will be happy just going faster than last year.

It's getting closer!

Friday, March 5: Attempted to run 8 miles, but knees started hurting really bad after 4 miles. Unfortunately I was 4 miles out, so I had to jog/walk back. I'm pretty sure it's because I need new running shoes. I still haven't had time to get those yet, but hopefully I will on Wednesday.

Saturday, March 6: snowboarding

Sunday, March 7: snowboarding

Monday, March 8: Swam 100 laps in 45:50 minutes. Almost one minute faster than the previous week. I definitely felt like I got my groove back.

Tuesday, March 9: We got Pumpkin, our new dog. I rode my trainer for 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Wednesday, March 10: Four mile jog with Pumpkin. She was pretty tired from running with Skyler in the morning.

Thursday, March 11: 10 minutes jog with Pumpkin. Tried to ride my trainer, but she wouldn't let me. Only rode 15 minutes.

Friday, March 12: 20 minute run with Pumpkin.

Saturday, March 13: Track workout with Carrie and Kelly. Our hour. Two hour mountain bike ride that afternoon.

Sunday, March 14: Relaxing day with Pumpkin.

Monday, March 15: Hopefully going on a bike ride outside. To the beach and back.

12 MORE DAYS!

This weekend-snowboarding

I've been lacking on my running, but I've stepped it up with some bike training. I haven't been able to get outside to bike since it's been raining on the weekends only. Lame! But riding on my trainer will help me with my running too, so I'm not too worried about my run. Next week I would like to get two run workouts in, as well as a long bike ride on the weekend. Three weeks, yet I feel not ready. I think I was working out more last year, but I should check.
