This heat is killing me.\u00a0 It’s so hard to workout in the heat, but I know that it’s good for me, and as my coach pointed out, even the bad workouts are making me stronger.<\/p>\n
Monday – Rest day.\u00a0 Okay, so maybe I didn’t get stronger on this particular day, but rest days are so key to any fitness schedule.<\/p>\n
Tuesday – So… I should have gotten up early and done my workout in the morning.\u00a0 I did not.\u00a0 Whatever, I raced this weekend.\u00a0 Instead, I went to the Taylor Swift concert and danced the night away. And it was awesome.<\/p>\n
Wednesday – No more excuses.\u00a0 On the trainer for a speed workout.\u00a0 This one was really hard.\u00a0 I don’t know if it was because my legs were tired from the night before or if I was just lazy.\u00a0 Either way, it was a struggle.<\/p>\n
Thursday – Team Fight swim.\u00a0 I ended up with a total of 2100m in a bit under an hour.\u00a0 Continuing my trend for the week, I did not want to go, but I was so glad to get the workout in.\u00a0 I’m noticing just how much my form fades when I get tired.<\/p>\n
Friday – Rest day.\u00a0 Today, I got a massage and ran a bunch of errands and then went to a meal prep place with some friends.\u00a0 I need to be better about eating healthy, and having meals ready-to-cook in the freezer is a great way for me to do that.<\/p>\n
Saturday – Ten miles.\u00a0 On the treadmill.\u00a0 There were storms looming, which either meant the risk of getting caught in the storm, or potentially more painful, oppressive humidity.\u00a0 So I hit the treadmill.\u00a0 It was a slog.\u00a0 I didn’t even try for my required paces, which I should have done.\u00a0 I just focused on getting it done.<\/p>\n
Sunday – Hit the old Iron Girl course again, with some mileage tacked on.\u00a0 I hadn’t been feeling stellar the day before and was probably terribly dehydrated, so Liz and I didn’t quite meet our distance\/time goal.\u00a0 Just a little bit under, but we still got out there and got it done.<\/p>\n
Planning for a better week this week.\u00a0 Every mile counts.<\/p>\n
