mix it up day

rip n ryde at sweat therapy with april/katie: lots of upper body and pivots on rip trainer after a nice interval training on the bike! This went well with my sore upper body from TRX the night before. Planks and more planks!! And tons of core work!!

ran one mile in new balance minimus shoes. still slight calf pain in right side. form getting more comfortable. def no heel striking.

swim for 1500. form work. working on bringing hand out back and keeping flow thru the whole stroke.

rode almost 40 miles with the wed night group on rolling country hills. nice showing for the c group. looking forward to getting my new bike with larger tires so i am not the usual at the back of the pack. at least level the playing field. fingers crossed new bike will be able to get here soon!!

RIDE with the hubby

25 miles at 17mph with the hubby. It is nice that this is becoming an "easy" ride.
Great time catching up. This is very slow for him but he needs to slow down every now and then too!! ;-)

All in all a pretty solid workout!

Coach W in the pool beside me!

Today was first day of Newton training. 2.5 miles at 5pm 88 degree heat. 10:09 pace
right calf is slightly sore already. interesting feel. toes feel congested more. will keep it up for a bit to see if it feels better. worried that once getting into longer runs it could cause a problem. other than that it does push you forward. i didnt feel myself on my heel at all. and my HR was in 89% (still high but better)

ride and swim

Today we went out for a nice ride on the trails. It was hot as it was mid day. Hubby is way faster than me so he took off and i went for my solo ride. felt so good. peaceful and great sweat. I need to get a bandana or something bc the sweat was getting into my eyes and burning. Other than that took my endurolytes at the 45 min mark and they worked perfectly!! Nice solid ride. And LOVE my garmin 910xt!!

Went to the pool for a swim and did 2550. Garmin 910xt is so freaking cool! It analyzed the whole swim and after dumping the data on garminconnect I am even more in love with this watch. If you are on the fence go ahead and do the update. It is worth it.

After double workout hit Longhorn to refuel!! Love my filet, lobster tail and sweet potatoes!!!
