YAY ME!!! One thing I miss about training with my trainer is her way of being my cheerleader. I watch trainers when I am at the gym and it makes me miss Paige. I don't see any of these trainers cheering on their clients when they are done with a routine. But one thing I have learned from Paige and even though I am no longer at that gym is to celebrate my successes on a regular basis.
Today's YAY has a lot to do with what I accomplished in my training but also just in what I accomplished with my day. First off work is getting the best of me - as noted by my thoughts to go on by the office earlier today. It has been that way since the beginning of the year. Actually it has been that way since October. So today's sense of "enough" and being able to do other things was a great reward.
From there I went to the park and did a quasi-brick. I call the park workouts quasi-bricks because even though I hop off my bike, run with it through the parking lot until I get to my transition station - there is still a delay before the run. That delay is called laoding the bike up on top of the car and locking it in prior to the run. I did 6 miles on the bike under 30 minutes and was pleased with some of the out of the saddle intervals I threw into the workout in the progress. There are some real life streets near the park I want to try out as well but that did not happen today.
From there I did a 2mile walk run. I am slowly getting better with the distance and timing of the run segment in the workout. Iwas quite pleased with my outcome. A new personal best with both miles coming in just under 14 minutes. OH stop laughing - for me that is good. I am hopeful that the race in July will see me running a full 2 miles at the end of the triathlon.
Tomorrow I find myself back at the gym.
The rest of today was spent watching a soccer game oh and figuring out the pressure of my tires...
Overall a good day. i do beleive I hear a long hot bath beckoning to me.
