2/20/17 - 2/26/17 Swim - 3 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 2 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 1.5 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 7,718 yds / 32,862 yds miles 7 Bike - 30 miles / 290.8 miles Run - 8.01 miles / 47.69 mile Decent week, but missed some key workouts but those that I did have were good sessions, but I know I can do better. This week my new Coeur kit arrived and I love it! The top is so long, compared to what I'm use to wearing. This is the first full kit that I have ever bought. I typically just wear black shorts and a top. Today I missed my long run due to on-call weekend that started at 3 am this morning but it happens. As I have written before I will not get upset about things out of my control. I am constantly reminded that I can't control everything and I just have to do what I can do and make every session count. I compare my effort and time to last year and ...

2/13/17 - 2/19/17 Swim - 3 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 1.5 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 6,664 yds / 25,144 yds miles Bike - 15 miles / 262.8 miles Run - 12.35 miles / 39.68 mile Not a bad week, missed a few workouts but still happy with what I'm producing. Starting to get a bit nervous, but hubby tells me I was the same way last year. I ordered a new triathlon kit - actually first time I've actually ordered a full kit. Typically I wear a tri shirt and black shorts but this go around I decided to go full out. It is shipping today, can't wait to see it. Coeur shorts were good to me last IMTX so decided to go with a top this well. This is a huge treat for myself as I have been racing the same jersey since 2013. Hope I like it!! Not a great weight loss week but down is always better than up! I did not stick to the plan last weekend, t...
2/6/17 - 2/12/17 Swim - 3 of 3 Bike - 2 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 4 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 2537yds / 18,480 yds miles Bike - 60 miles / 247.8 miles Run - 9.36 miles / 27.33 mile Compared to last year, 10 weeks out from the race, I'm on track. I'm close to my workout counts and pace and my weight is slightly higher this year. Overall I had a good weekend. I hit all but one of my training sessions, still need to get strength training into my regime, which is always tough to do because there is no time in the morning so it will have to be in the evenings, which are hard because I just want to come home, eat and relax. But, I'm going to try this week. On Monday, I wanted to quit! I told the hubby I was quitting. Work has been crazy, frustrating and just making life hard right now. He reminded me it's a job......its what pays the bills and what provides mone...
1/30/17 - 2/5/17 Swim - 1 of 3 Bike - 2 of 3 Run - 0 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 4 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 2924yds / 11,943 yds miles Bike - 57 miles / 187.8 miles Run - 0 miles / 17.97 mile 11 weeks to go and not a good week for me. Too many distractions...I let that happen, won't let it happen next week. Things I will change for upcoming week. 1. Work out in the mornings on weekends. 2. No missed workouts during week. I did have a good weight loss week, so I am excited about that but that is it. I stuck to the food plan, which was easier than I thought. I don't like to think that I eat a lot of sugar but by cutting all processed (except for exercise nutrition) and minimizing the natural really worked for me. I was worried because this changed my morning food routine but my body adapted quickly. Can't dwell in the past and what I didn't do can only look to the fut...
