As I was waxing poetic and nostalgic last week I was wandering away from the meat of the plan. The day after tomorrow is April, y'all. We've got 3 weeks (THREE WEEKS!!!!!! EEEEPP!!) til the MS150 and one month til my first post-baby tri.
So last week I did:
Monday: 3.2 mile run with a little walking. But the distance was covered.
Tuesday: 1400 yard swim, no prob.
Wednesday: 2.25 mile run, focusing on running longer intervals and faster.
Thursday: 1400 yard swim, did I mention I love swimming? Oh, and also I woke up early so I did yoga that morning.
Friday: P90X3 MMX. I know, I was supposed to run. But I just didn't want to, and I thought it might be nice to mix it up a little. This definitely taxes my aerobic system and my legs and ass, so I figured it'd work.
Saturday: 26.6 mile HILLY freaking ride. Yes, I planned to do the 40-something route. No, I didn't do it. I just didn't want to. And I had a busy weekend and it would have killed most of the day. And did I mention, HILLS? (Btw Head for the Hills is an absolutely lovely MS150 prep ride. Highly recommend! The bluebonnets were out, it was a gorgeous day, the hills are great training, and the local fireman make a good burger for lunch after. Really nicely run.) The good news is I never walked, and I love my new brakes. The bad news is I'm still fighting my big ring shifter and I need that sucker for big hills. There were 3 hills where I ended up in the easiest possible gearing combo, going about 4mph. But I didn't walk. I win.
This week the plan is very similar, except I think I'm going to drop the Thursday swim in favor of MMX and then add back in the Friday run (but I'll switch that to Yoga if I'm feeling especially run down). I would prefer to swim twice BUT it looks like rain on Thursday, plus I'm going to have a kid-free night and swimming makes me get home later, which I don't want to do because I want to go see a movie or something. So you know I'm still sane - not sacrificing fun in favor of exercise. At least on Thursday. ;-)
