After I posted my blog on Friday, I was motivated to start tracking all of my workouts, from now until October, when my “race season” is over. I have a few goals over the next couple of months including: lose 3-5 pounds, tone my arms/legs and incorporate different workouts into my mix. I think that tracking my workouts will keep me honest and motivated.
Friday (May 22): I lied! I ran when I got home from work. I didn’t mean to but BJ ended up having a last minute client meeting – and I never ride my bike without him. Call me crazy but I’m not 100% comfortable biking in DC by myself. So, that pretty much leaves me with running (my fave). I did a 25 minute loop and my legs were burning the whole time. Okay, so my legs are tired and I’ve pretty much been ignoring them (sorry legs!).
I promise not to run the entire weekend.
Saturday: I had an awesome morning swim – only a few people were at the pool and I had a lane to myself! It was GLORIOUS!
800m (32 laps): all out sprint
100m: recovery
4x100m: all out sprint (30 second rest)
250m: swim
In the afternoon BJ and I went on a 20 mile bike ride. The weather was perfect and the trail was less crowded than usual (thanks Memorial Day weekend!), so we had a really good ride.
Sunday: 35 mile bike ride in Poolesville, MD – very hilly and extremely hot workout. I was glad when it was over!
Monday: 62 lap swim at a moderate to fast pace. My arms felt a little tired but other than that, the conditions were pretty good.
I *love* 3-day weekends! I got in some great training – and still had a fun weekend without feeling like all of my time was consumed by running, biking or swimming. I wish we had every Monday off.
Thx for stopping by – love your blog too!
