Day 60. Bike

So, as you can see / read, my blog posts keep getting shorter and shorter because I don't have much to talk about. I went to the gym and I rode the bike for 60 minutes. I've been very unmotivated this week for training, so I guess my attitude has been coming through on my posts. I'll try to be more upbeat soon!

Day 59. Run and Swim

The lesson of today is to stay hydrated! I ended up working out with Matt today down in Arlington and the Washington and Lee High School. The track was nice, but I definitely wasn't used to running on something with some squish to it - I'm used to running on pavement. It was pretty warm and I forgot to bring water - you would think that would be something by my side at all times. Oh well, I got through the run and kept up with Matt for the most part. The sprint at the end was my favorite part, I always finish strong and I think sprinting at the end of my workouts is part of that.

As for the swim, not so hot. I think since I didn't drink enough water, my body started to spasm (my foot and calf)! It hurts so bad when they cramp up like that. So, after a half hour, I had to cut my swim short. But I don't feel too bad, because if I would've done it myself this morning, I would've had to cut it short for work anyways.

So, now I'm going to rest, and drink tons of water to rehydrate! Hellooooo Gatorade!

Day 58. Bike

Nothing really exciting about the bike today. I did it at the gym once again because it's been pretty steamy outside. I've been altering my schedule and working out after work rather than before work lately. So far, it seems that it is easier to make it through the work day. I think my body needed a change - so far I think it is working. :)

Day 57. Swim and makeup bike

Ok, finally caught up on my posts. I'm just about to leave to put in my 50 min bike at the gym and then I will hit the pool for 3x300 and a 100 cool down. Hopefully, the swim will help with my aches and pains. Then, hopefully I will be back on track and ready to start a new regular training week.

Day 56. Brick

So, I had already made a commitment to play for my work league soccer team. And ofcourse, all of the games are Saturday mornings. I was going to try to do the bike atleast before the game, but once again, that didn't happen. The sleep was just to precious to skip on. So, I played an almost full game in the heat and humidity. I can tell today that I use muscles for soccer that I'm not currently using for tri training. I'm so freaking sore today.

My soccer team ended up winning like 8 or 9 to zero. I had one assist -- woot woot. A good way to start the season.

Day 55. Off

Today was an off day, but I was going to try and make up that swim that I missed yesterday. Once again, that did not happen. I had to get into work early because I had a presentation to give. I felt really bad for missing a workout, felt like I was letting people down. I probably shouldn't put so much pressure on myself.

Day 54. Swim

Once again, I have become horrible at keeping up with my posts. It's only because this week has been very hectic between training and my work schedule. The only good part is that it is a recovery week and if I miss a workout it's isn't as big as a deal if it were a real training week. With that said, on Thursday, I wasn't able to get my swim in. But I was able to make up the half hour run from Wednesday.
