Ok.. I didn't quite follow the plan. Here is what I did:
Monday - Rest Day - family priorities took over
Tuesday - Ran 4 miles
Wednesday - was supposed to ride but.... family and work distracted me
Thursday - Long Run! This was my best run ever! The weather finally cooled down and I ran 7 miles and had a 12 min/mile pace. I have a chance of getting faster.. maybe....
Friday - I did the swim workout! Thanks to my hubby.. He got me up and out the door!
Saturday - I finally got out the door at 3:30 pm and rode my bike for 3 hours 42 miles.. Loved the ride! Weather was awesome! I could have gone further but it would have been dark..
Sunday (today) - 28 miles and I got lost. Thank goodness for my iPhone. I also had a faster ride! My average speed was 17 miles/hour. I guess when I get left in the dust by the training group, I tend to ride faster to catch up. One day, I will keep up with everyone..
This weeks is a new week and more training. I still have to juggle family and work.
Training is getting harder, but it was really great talking to my triathlon coach on what I should concentrate on. I need to remember to do the long runs, long rides and sprints for the run and bike. I am still committed and I know it is going to be hard.
Working one day at a time and juggling life...
Happy Training!
