Swim
  • 11m 55s
  • 500.00 yards
  • 02m 22s /100 yards

Good short swim today....if I'd had a sitter for Bennie I would have done a long swim because the water temp was only 85 degrees and the air temp was only 81....maybe it'll still be cool on Monday.

Sport
  • Aqua Aerobics
  • 1h 15m
NOT going to meet with my running coach tomorrow, going to do my own thing....each time I've met with him we do sprints and it aggravates my SI issues. Maybe as I gradually become a better runner I can push through the sprints. I just don't want to get hurt.

Did my strange invented-by-me brick today...love it....love to sweat....have I mentioned that before? Feel great-better than ever....just nagging SI pain, but nothing horrible.

It's my rest day....seems like I just had one, but it was last Wednesday. I'll probably just take a walk later. Time is flying by now that the race is getting closer and I'm half excited and half nervous (okay, terrified). Trying to be calm and relaxed about it, sure it will be fun and challenging.

Bike

Spin bike....alone in my blue spin room, music cranked. Up the ladder intervals and then a rocking 10 one minute intervals out of the saddle with a 30 sec. recovery in between. Fitness director at the YMCA said she wants me to start teaching spin classes (probably because I'm in there mooching the eqipment/stereo system) all the time. Would love to teach spin, because most instructors I've had for it stink.

Run
  • 20m
  • 1.79 miles
  • 11m 10s /Mi

Could have gone longer, but being cautious of SI joint problems....hurts when I push too hard. Followed by a 5 min cool down.

Marathon day out of the house.....kids to gymnastics, then to a sitter's. I had the best sports massage EVER. I usually request a guy to do it, but this woman was from New Zealand and she knew some awesome Kiwi massage magic. Going back next Tues. too. Then off to my sport's chiropractor for work on my SI joint/sciatic issues. Then to the YMCA for my little brick and then picked up the kids. Running now to the shower and then to a meeting for a fundraiser and then....whew, it's tiring being a goddess.

Took it very slow today, was happy just to finish my workout. Water temp was 91 degrees and air temp was 99! Not even sure what heat index was. At one point I had to take off my swim cap-it was that hot.

Bike
  • 1h 25m
  • 19.18 miles
  • 13.54 Mi/hr

I went out hard(90%)on the first 12.5 miles for time...did it in 50.56. Which is almost 16mph on my crappy old mtn. bike. Felt good, still don't think I have a good bike fit, will go visit John at the bike shop this week.

Sport
  • Walking
  • 40m
Tried my new Shebeest tri top on my ride today (got two tops in exchange for the trisuit) and loved it. Much cooler than the Sugoi top and dried faster too. So that's what I'll wear on race day, new top and black tri shorts.

Up early to meet with my running coach and then off to teach my class. Super busy day....but fun-busy. Sciatica acting up after speed work today, must seriously stretch. Company coming for dinner, so I'm off to cook and clean and then drink and eat. Whew-can't wait.
