Day 121: After a short discussion yesterday we decided to hit the Comet Trail early to get done and beat the heat. When I let the dogs out at 5 am this morning I knew it was going to be a tough day. Just letting the dogs out I was sweating. The humidity was horrible this morning and I was not looking forward to this speed work in it. Today was a really good speed workout day. It really got my legs burning after some single leg drills and a lot of in and out of the saddle. After the speed workout I was already pouring sweat and now it was time for a 2 mile brick. I had a really good run and felt really good even with all the humidity. I was really happy with my workout today and the best part about it I was done by 8:30 am. So I took sometime today to give my bike some loving and cleaned her up real good!! She almost looks like a new bike. =) I am really hoping this humidity ends soon, but I don't see that happening. Being able to rink your clothes out after a workout is not very cool. haha. Well tomorrow is Cartersville, lets hope for another good training day and less humidity. The days are ticking away.
Day 122: Catersville was a struggle today. I never sleep well at night anymore and it seems like the one time I feel like I am sleeping well 6 am comes fast. I woke up and I just wanted to stay in bed. Today I was physically just flat out tired, and I was feeling it today. I started with a 3 mile run and once again the humidity was in full blast. I ran 3 miles and my legs just felt heavy and tired from yesterday, and not even into half a mile I had sweat pouring off me. I made it through the 3 miles dragging only to hop on the bike for a 27 mile bike ride. I was really feeling my legs burning now with all the hill climbing we do on Wednesdays. Today I was also trying to do a lot of the hill climbing out of the saddle and boy were my legs burning. After what seemed like a never ending 27 mile ride and just wanting to go home to go to sleep, I kept moving on and headed to the lake. One thing about the lake is once you start you can't stop till you get back and what sucks is I can't float. By this time I was really struggling physically, because I was so tired. I did about a mile swim, and I can probably saw it wasn't very productive. I was probably better off just going home. I did get through it though and the one good thing I think I did get out of it was, just keep pushing know matter how hard and just finish. Tomorrow I won't be training because I am going to spend the day with my Husband for our anniversary!!!!! He did say that he wanted to go on a bike ride tomorrow. Maybe this is a start to him getting into tri's =)
Day 123: Today Jordan and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary!!!! It is crazy how fast time flies, I can't believe it is already 4 years. With that being said, I didn't train today. I did however enjoy the day with Jordan. It started out very nice since I got to sleep in!!!!! At first I woke up at 7 am and I watched tv for a little bit in bed and I managed to fall back to sleep. =) After sleeping in we enjoyed a nice breakfast at one of our favorite places and then came back to the house to relax for a while. And yes later on we did go for a bike ride!!! I see a bike in Jordan's future. We enjoyed a nice 15 mile bike ride on the Silver Comet Trail. I was also nice and let him ride my bike, while I rode a bike we borrowed from a friend. Within minutes he was already down in the aero position taking off. After a fun filled day we enjoyed a nice dinner at Leon's and really enjoyed it. Overall we had a fun day just spending time together, and that is what matters the most! With all the fun it is time to try to get back to training this week, which is going to be hard since I am trying to head out of town to see my new niece again in Cleveland.
He stole my bike and wouldn't give it back.
Day 124: Today is a day that is hard to fit training in since I do double shifts. So I think I will enjoy doing nothing again and try to get some sleep for work. Tomorrow morning I am heading to Cleveland to see my nieces!!! Hopefully I can get a run in when I get up there, but we'll see.
