Last week was the last big push before this weekend’s race. \u00a0I’m not going to lie. \u00a0It hurt.<\/p>\n
Monday – Rest Day. \u00a0Okay, this one didn’t hurt.<\/p>\n
Tuesday –\u00a0Treadmill hill repeats. \u00a03 one mile hills. \u00a0Awesome. \u00a0Actually, this workout went better than I expected. I had to knock the speed WAY down, so I would have been beating no one, but I managed to rock it out while still keeping my heart rate down, and for me, that’s the biggest challenge when it comes to hills.<\/p>\n
Wednesday – An hour on the bike trainer. \u00a0I love trainer workouts and am looking forward to a winter on the trainer. \u00a0I can definitely tell that I’m getting stronger. \u00a0The puddle of sweat is less than awesome though.<\/p>\n
Thursday – Team Fight Swim. \u00a0As per usual, I didn’t want to go, went, and had a blast. \u00a0We did sprints and I was sore for two days. \u00a0Which means that I needed those sprints. \u00a0I’m not much of a sprinter, but I can only believe that it makes me faster.<\/p>\n
Friday – Rest day. \u00a0I’m good at these.<\/p>\n
Saturday – Ten freaking miles on the treadmill. \u00a0I was exhausted today and wasn’t sure I could make it through all ten miles, so I decided to get on the mill and do what I could. \u00a0And I ended up rocking out all ten miles. \u00a0They weren’t the prettiest, but I got them done.<\/p>\n
Sunday – Went to the Billy Joel concert last night and it was AWESOME. \u00a0But I didn’t get home til 2 am. \u00a0So getting up at 7 to bike with the group didn’t happen. \u00a0But I got on the trainer and put in the 1:40 that Coach wanted me to do. \u00a0Then I took a nap.<\/p>\n
I’ve been really struggling with my training lately. \u00a0I wondered if it was overtraining, but I think it’s just life. \u00a0I’m not getting enough sleep through my own fault and I’ve also been dealing with some huge projects at work. \u00a0Thankfully, I’m not putting in a significant amount of extra time at the office, but I’ve been going pretty much full speed while I’m there. \u00a0I successfully hit three major deadlines, so I’m hoping in the next month or so, things ease up a tiny bit. \u00a0We’ve been saying this for the past year, so I don’t have much hope, but a girl can dream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
