Busy , busy and more busy. Thank goodness spring sprung early. We are busy at work which is great after 3 months of 30 hour weeks. Training outside is doing great and the weather has been fantastic.
Saturday was interval training with Discover Strength. That one hour always feels like two. I actually like doing sprints but don't tell anyone! There is an exercise we do that is obnoxious. Its a exercise where we wear a harness and try to run while the trainer pulls back and is the resistance. Doesn't sound hard does it? Just pull the trainer along. Okay I'm 5 feet tall right? well Maurice is I think 6'8', almost two feet taller than me. I also think because I had done the exercise last week, he was tougher on me than on the newbies. I imagine it was a funny sight. After training I headed over to Highland Park to meet my Run Club buddies for breakfast. Damn it, I was too early! So I joined them doing the DamHill workout. A one mile run to the dam then up and down the hill 4 times and a one mile run back to Lifetime. It was worth it, I ran with Carla. She did a fantastic job that day. Her furthest run had been 6+ miles and I believe she did over 10 that day. After that, a bunch of us headed over to the Chatterbox for breakfast.It was good to see Jerel, Andy and Eric. I have not seen them in months, too bad Jen didn't make it . Corrine, Erica and Team Brackney plus people from other run clubs showed up. I think there was over 20 runners there.
Sunday Roxie and I went biking. A simple ride to Caribou for coffee. We zigged and we zagged and put on 12 miles, then stopped. Then we zigged and we zagged and I ended up with 23 miles on the bike that day.
I'm on track for the Liberty Olympic distance triathlon. I know I can swim for an hour/ 1 mile, I can bike 20+ miles and I can run 6 miles. I just need to put all 3 together.
Which means I'm halfway to the Chisago Lakes Half Iron distance triathlon. 70.3 miles. Woohoo!
I went to strength training Monday and last night we ran 6 miles. I keep forgetting the week before a Half marathon you are suppose to taper. Take it easy, relax. Of course I was also suppose to have some 8 and 10 mile "peak mileage" runs done too. Oops. So today and Thursday no exercising planned. Just two 10 hour work days. Friday I'm off, we will be in Fargo at NDSU doing a campus tour with the girls. Then back home. Up Saturday at 5:30 off to St.Cloud for the Earth Day half marathon. Sunday I'm sleeping in.
