Good Running Week

Last week wasn't bad for running, I was able to run outside twice.  Hopefully the weather will continue to be nice enough as I can't stand being on that treadmill.  As I have been saying for awhile I need to get my rear end to the gym and actually swim.  Hopefully next weekend the weather will continue to be nice and no rain so I can get out and ride my bike.  I also need to get my road bike to the shop, it seems to be slipping gears and since I I have limited maintenance skills it's beyond my knowledge / ability to fix. 

Can't believe race season is right around the corner, I need to actually check out the upcoming race sites as I haven't registered for any of the upcoming races.

Also ordered the 10 minute workout series.  Hubby loves P90X but I don't have time to do that plus the swim/bike/run workouts, so he suggested I try the 10 minute workouts, hopefully it will be here some time this week.

This week I have the following scheduled:

Swim - 4 workouts
Bike - 3 workouts
Run - 3 workouts
Strength Training - 3 workouts.

A week of crazy but still good miles

Week of 8/27/2012 - 9/2/20212 Exercise Walking - 0 General Walking - 27.95 miles Stationary Bike - 0 Weight loss - ?? I was a bit shocked that when I was finally able to look at my miles that I actually had 27.95 miles.  That is not a great week but considering that since Tuesday, August 28th we have been staying in a hotel and were driving from Maryland to Texas from August 29th - September 1st, I'm pretty happy with that. As I wrote in the last update, I knew it would be tough to get some exercise in last week and it was.  I decided that this was an adventure and a great opportunity to spend time with the hubby and I was going to enjoy our trip and worry about diet and exercise when we got to Texas and got settled in. The only bad thing that happened on our trip is that my fitbit , may be on its last leg.  I dropped the fitbit early last week and cracked the case and when I say cracked I can see the inside of the device.  Then towards the...

Race schedule set

Week of 12/31/2012 - 1/6/2013 Swimming - 2 Biking - 0 Running -2 Strength Training - 1 Weight loss for week - 0 Total weight loss - 27.5 As reported in the last post the past couple of weeks haven't been great workout weeks and no weight loss. But it happens right, no worries.  I'll get it back on track this week.  My back is feeling MUCH better so I'm going to do some strength training tomorrow and clearly I need to get back to biking.  My road bike is set up on the trainer between the living room and kitchen I just need to spend some time on it.  I've been very focused on swimming and running but need to make sure that I'm giving proper attention to the bike.  Plus with my back being sore I didn't want to make even more sore by getting on the bike. Along with this post you will see I have updated my race schedule.  Races fill up quick around here so I built in a back up race in case one of the races is full.  I've also been working on my 2...

7 weeks till 1st race

4/28/14 - 5/4/14 Swim - 2 Bike - 2 Run - 2 Strength Training - 2 Weight loss (weekly / year) - 0 lbs / 6.5  lbs Mileage (weekly / 2014)   Swim - 3500 yds / 34,800 yds      Bike - 53.5 miles / 584.98 miles   Run - 8.86 miles / 186.51 miles A friend reminded me this week that I have 7 weeks until my next race.  She asked me if I was ready and I said you bet.  I'm more confident than ever, so far.  I say that because often the week or 2 leading up to a race I fall apart and don't get all my workouts in but I need to stay on target with additional races to follow.  I'm confident that tomorrow I could do the Olympic distance. I want to beat my time from last year, which hopefully will be easy to do.  While my weight, currently, is slightly higher than it was last year for my race, I definitely feel more prepared physically and have been getting longer workouts in than I did last year.   This was a good week, the only thing I hav...
