Boom-shaka-laka! That’s how I feel about last week. What started as a craptacular Monday, morphed into a really solid week of workouts. Here’s how it went down:
Monday: This is what I actually put in Daily Mile, “Did nothing for zero minutes because: work. :(” I got held up at work and wound up missing my window to swim. I was upset but the unplanned rest day was probably needed as I was stressed.
Tuesday: 2,000 yard swim in the AM and five mile run in the PM. I’m back to where five miles is the standard week day run. No more three milers for me.
Wednesday: 3,350 yard swim in the morning. It was a long swim but I felt good for pushing through the whole workout. The last five by 100’s were killer.
Thursday: Five mile run in the AM and Live DJ spin class in the PM.
Friday AM: 2,500 yard swim.
Saturday: Double digits baby! Ten mile long run with Meghan and Tori. It was really nice out, though overcast, and we kept it easy. I loved running in Tori’s hood and checking out a fabulous used bookstore after breakfast.
After I got home, the S.O. took me to pick up my birthday present. He got it early and knew I would be thrilled to start using it…

Sunday: I met up with Meghan for a 54 mile ride at the trail. We had planned to head to the hilly part of Florida (yes, I swear there is one), but it was foggy and I don’t feel safe on country roads when there is low visibility. Hence, trail time it was. We hit a strong headwind on the way out and took turns pulling. A friend named Ryan joined us at about the 20 mile mark. We were blessed with a cool day and partial tailwind on the way back.
Meghan and I both felt pooped when we got back to the cars but decided we needed to get in our brick. We both ran two miles and I was completely zonked by the time I got home.
Happy Monday friends! Did any of you race this weekend? How’d it go?
That's the fun part about Ironman training. It makes a half ironman distance seem like a nice, easy weekly brick. Have fun! Solid week.
Great job this week!!! Isn't it an awesome feeling knowing you rocked your training?!
This is a most excellent week.
Great job on a killer week and SQUEEE for the Garmin!
Way to finish the week off strong!! I love it when that happens!! I did a small 5k this weekend…
Have the same watch, you will love it!!! Great workouts on the weekend.
Super week, and sweet! You will love the 910! Super jealous of your long ride OUTSIDE 🙂
Huge numbers!!! Awesome job!
I did something every day, T25 is great for time, getting sweaty, but I need more mileage running 🙂
ahhh, no racing – just a really really rainy 8 miles Saturday.
Best. Watch. Ever. Changed my life – my old Garmin pales in comparison to the 910. And I barely even use it for anything than running right now! Battery life, oh my! Functionality, wow! It's AMAZING.
Ok enough of that. Congrats on a solid training week! 🙂
Awesome week, look at those miles!!!
I can't wait for that watch I am hoping to get it in the next few months!!!! Enjoy it, you certainly work your ass off and deserve it!
