Bike is ready to roll!

3/31/14 - 4/6/14

Swim - 4
Bike - 2
Run - 3
Strength Training - 1
Weight loss (weekly / year) - 2 lbs / 5 lbs
Mileage (weekly / 2014)
  Swim - 4300 yds / 21,000 yds  
  Bike - 36.3 miles / 417.78 miles
  Run - 14.14 miles / 148.32 miles

 This was a good week - I got in all my planned workouts, added an extra swim and had some faster runs on the treadmill.

 I did my 7 miles yesterday - well sort of.  I did 7 miles but I did not run the entire 7 miles.  Things started out well then the wind picked up a bit and it got a bit colder.  I was going to settle for 5 miles and started to headed back home but I thought worse case I can walk the additional distance.  I probably walked about 1.5-2 miles but if memory serves me right as I have added distance I have usually had some walking in there.  So no worries.  I have no did at least 1/2 of each of the 1/2 IM distances, I'm VERY happy with that accomplishment.

 My ride also got hooked up a bit this weekend.  I got new rims for her and she look even more beautiful!  I also got an actual bike fit, which I have NEVER done - yeah I know a bit shocking.  It was a great experience and I learned a lot and have a much better fit on my bike.  My seat was actually too low by over an inch and too far back by more than an inch.  Can't wait to get outside to actually ride her!

One more week before my official 1/2 IM training starts.  I could tell I'll be ready for a few slower weeks, my body was definitely feeling the aches but they weren't bad aches just tired.

I also had a weight loss - well sort of, normally I weigh in on Saturday morning but I weighed in this morning so an extra day!

Making my own decisions

It's now been 6 weeks of steady exercise, including sticking to the routine while on travel to India.  My eating habits have wandered a bit but I know what I need to do. Recently I have decided that I'm going to live the life I want and not what everyone else wants.  All my life I have been ruled by someone else making decisions, telling me what to do or wanting to make the right decisions to please everyone else but not really doing what I want. I realized the 1st time I made a decision / choice for myself  was when I met my now husband and decided to marry him; 22 years later it still is the best decision I made.  He has always supported me; which is something that is unusual for me an it's taken me awhile to realize this.  I've always played life safe rather than risking and following my dreams/desires. Triathlon was my 2nd decision, by me and for me.  I have neglected those desires because of work pressures.  I realize that my current job wil...

2019...not starting off perfect

But does anything ever start out and finish perfect? I caught the hubby's cold, thought I battled it well but I was wrong and it took me down on New Years day but that was a rest day so no worries. Got up Wednesday, ready to start my new workout routine....wrong, felt worse than day before, so off to Urgent Care, got some drugs and fighting this. Decided to move workouts back by a day and cancel Sunday as a day off, besides I took New Years day off, as planned. Had a good workout today, still sticking to my running, biking, HITT plan but added strength training in starting today.  My bike wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but doing something is what I take as a positive. I decided my goals/objectives for 2019 are simple: Live a healthier life! There is a lot of things behind that statement, I recently posted the below on FB and I want to ensure that every day, week, month and year I'm striving to improve my life - mentally, physical, relationships, etc. ...

4 WEEKS!

3/20/17 - 3/26/17 Swim - 0 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 0 lbs  Mileage (weekly / 2017)    Swim - 6,477 yds / 49,987 yds miles    Bike - 28.8 miles / 426.2 miles    Run - 16.87 miles / 96.3  mile Wow - thought I did better -guess not.  No swimming this week and I wish I could say my shoulder feels better but NOT.  Despite not hitting on my training sessions I feel those that I did were on point! Today was the last splurge weekend and the hubby is planning to stick with me, which I really appreciate.  It makes it easier when dining out.  I'm disappointed that I didn't drop any weight this week because overall I had a good nutrition week but that could be related to less activity.  I still have several pounds I want to lose before race day so no splurges for the next 4 weeks hopefully will help with that. My nutrition plan is going very well - except I forgot how qui...
