Sunday March 03, 2013

Run: 00:57:56 - 6.2 Miles - 9.20 Min/M

Was happy with that run, finally getting a little faster... well a 10K under one hour makes me happy @ least! See? I don't ask for much! lol

 

Bike: 04:45:00 - 93.43 Miles - 19.67 M/H

That bike ride on the home trainer made me having second thoughts on the all thing... :)

Bought the chamois butt'r, it helps a little but really???? How do you bike for that long without being hurt?  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess now would be a really good time to work on the mental portion of this training...

Left work @ 04:30 PM as I should do everyday... yeah right... Then jumped into my running shoes & ran around the lakes before picking up the monkeys.

It was really windy & the pollen from the pine tree started bothering me.

I loved that run, was king of stressed out that hubby left that day to visit his family in Algiers. So lonely without him, so cold in the evening... :)

 

Wednesday March 06, 2013

Bike: 02:23:20 - 50.16 Miles - 21 M/H

OFF

Took the day OFF work to drive the bike course... Well, well, well... I might want to review my bike training & add more resistance on my home trainer... the last 40 miles are more hilly than rolling hills... & windy... Ewwww... I have a feeling that is going to be something else to be able to finish that leg of the course...

Didn't sleep enough the night before, hubby decided for us to go out on a date & have steak instead of waking up early to run The Woodlands Half-Marathon the next day in the cold...

Received my new watch (hubby's gift), it looks pretty cool.

Well, this week I really struggled with work & training... Nutrition wise, I don't think I am eating enough... Need to work on that & my hours of sleep as well...
I feel good so far, just wondering about that bike leg, seems really long... :)

We'll see how I will tackle next week as hubby is leaving for 10 days to go overseas... Hope I won't be overwhelmed like this swim start @ the Ironman TX last year! lol
