Last week was a big old week for me, HUGE week! Why you ask? Well I got myself a smart phone. I have the world wide web at my finger tips any second of the day now. I thought it was big when a couple years ago I got phone that had a camera in it. Bobby was the reason I got this awesome new gadget. Now, you're probably thinking 'oh what a great guy, he's so good to her' which is completely true, but... His motive for me getting a data plan for my phone was so that I would stop using his. I guess he got tired of getting onto his phone and finding MY facebook open, which is why if you've ever seen a status of mine that is overly gushy and is all about him you'll know that I forgot to log out when using his phone :)
Second reason last week was huge: I went to masters swim class at 5:45 in the a.m. Twice. First time happened to be Martin Luther King day and first thing I see when I walk in the door that despicable hour of the morning was 2 of the people from my swim class running on the treadmille. I stopped dead in my tracks and said to them 'it's Martin Luther King today isn't it?' they just laughed at me and told me to go in and start swimming and they'd be in in a sec. So since they are so great they let me swim with them. They lapped me many times but I didnt mind. I was just thrilled to be back in the pool. I went on Thursday as well. What I love most about masters swimming is it's social hour at from 5:45-8 am. I get a great workout that I wouldn't get on my own, get to be with fun people, and then best of all we go sit in the steam room for 40 minutes. I love it.
3rd reason for being a great big week: I went skiing, twice! That's more than I've been in the last 4 years. It was really fun.
Ok enough of why my week felt so epic here's a breakdown of my training:
Monday- swim 2,500 meters. Pilates. Skiing all day.
Tuesday- ran 5.5 miles
Wednesday- rode trainer 1:20
Thursday- masters swim 2,800 meters
Friday- ran 4.5 miles (hills and in the snow)
Saturday- rode trainer 1:20
Sunday- ran 8.3 miles
Monday- masters swim 2,550
I was really bummed out that I didn't get to do the St George half marathon last weekend. I don't have enough miles on my body and I don't want to "blow it" as Sarah Jarvis puts it :D so I played it safe and stayed home. Great job to everybody that did run in it though!
Ha. Ha. Ha. I was the one that totally blew it on Saturday. Big time. Now I am at home really sick. Probably no proper workout all week. Blah. You shoulda come though. It would've been great to see you! Good to hear you are with Masters again. I miss that group! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI miss you at masters too! It would be even so much more fun if you were there!
ReplyDeleteSo you raced so hard that it made ya sick? Can't be ashamed of that right?
