So a few weeks ago I sat down with the calendar and drew up a down to the last straw game plan to train for this silly race I thought sounded so convenient in July. WHAT was I thinking?
I have done somewhat OK with it. Well there was a storm Monday that interferred with my swim. And I didnt sleep well Monday night - so Tuesday morning's run/walk didnt happen. But HEY I got Wednesday as my off day down pat. Thursday was way too hot and I needed to catch up on that up at 3:30am for work Wednesday. Friday I got the walk/run in but got distracted by my Garmin.
So hopefully next week will go a little better.

kids in tow
on the path this morning - after i convinced myself to do the 10 miles on the bike - i did do 2 miles on foot as well... there was a couple that arrived around then on bikes... and the mom had a child in tow on the back of her bike. and it reminded me of a younger day...
i used to ride on the back of my mom's bike with her. i can remember being in it once - that must have been some feat for her to lug me along. i dont remember going far. i do recall something like daddy could ride with me on the bike further than she could.
then heidi got a kid seat for her bike - i remember it was when they lived in WLB. i must have been a senior in high school. i remember taking someone tiny on the bike with me. i think it must have been ty because tony would have been REALLY little - like a new born - or maybe it was either of them.
i can remember coming out of the nighborhood and going up a street or two. i never rode too far. i remember it was difficult.
i thought of all that today as the woman rolled by me - she was doing a good job and kudos to her for pulling that extra weight around.
oh and kudos to me for kicking out a pretty big workout
now to clean the house - YUCK
kp and I may swim later as long as the storms stay away

rain in the forecast
i am trying to motivate to get on out there again this morning let's just say the world cup festivities were more festive than i had anticipated
and we got sucked into conversation...
so this morning i am trying to motivate again, it is already about an hour later than i started yesterday, but there is a chance for storms later today and i dont want to get thrown off by that - so i must get moving...last week i had trouble a few times with the bike being stuck on top of the car during a rain storm - truly not fun!
JK and I had fun at our initial location - keep in mind my workout yesterday - so i made sure i had enough water in me to not overdo it on the beer - but i was also FAMISHED!!! and the nachos sounded appealing... sure far more food than one person should eat but it was tasty
i must admit that i was disappointed that the game was a draw and at the score of the first goal i realised that i did in fact want england to win - no, that is not un-american of me - come on folks we have all these other sports we obsess about the rest of the 4 years and hardly pay any mind to futbol so why should we be so pissy about winning now that it has come to this - i mean the scheme of things futbol ranks at least 5th or 6th behind our obsessions with football, baseball, hockey, basketball, golf, nascar, heck even tennis... so let's give england a break - this is the sport (ok besides cricket) that they all know and love... that being said, i hope they win the rest of the games in their group
from there we ended up at a little bar down the street... we have those now that the law has passed... and we had some beers there - oh and a very yummy chili dog with cheese - remember the workout earlier? i ws hungry...
we probably wouldnt have stayed long except we met the new owner of the bike shop in town...and we got sucked into conversation...

up out of the saddle
so i did as intended - alarm went off at 545 and i struggled out of bed... it really wasnt that bad, although a nap may happen soon (yes, i know it is only 10am).. made the coffee, let the dog out, attended to the FB addiction, hurled the bike up on the car... at 709 I was on my way down the road. i realise the turn around time was not as quick as one would assume but i was please with it. I was at the park by 722.
LUGGED the bike back off the car and started on my way... i had every intention of doing 10 miles. but you know once i get started plus the back and forth aspect of six mile creek, i find it hard to stay motivated
i have found that the internal conversation in my head while swimming has become quite rhythmic and peaceful.. i find myself swimming along and not paying too much mind to the passing of laps - of course that always screws with the count.. but on the bike i have yet found that rhythm of cycle cycle cycle cycle oh where did the time go... i am getting close but not quite
so at 4 miles i decided 8 would probably be the accomplishment of the day... turns out it was probably closer to 8.6 but....
unfortunately today the regulars i have gotten used to seeing the past two weekends werent there - granted i was there about an hour earlier than ususal but is suspected by the time i left i would see them
and if i think that riding for 6 miles in a back and forth pattern is rough - i can only imagine these few runners that do it...
so i peddled along.... i used the highest gear i could muster in an effort to give the legs a better workout
i need to do some hill work - which is not an otpion on the trail - but i dont want to forego stamina and endurance by winding myself on a hill and then being down for the count - so for now it is high gears
the other thing i tried today - that has been a struggle for me since i started back on this bike thing 2 years ago, lifting myself out of the saddle...
technically the longer you can stay in the saddle the better as standing uses some of the same muscles as running and can fatique those muscles before the run aspect of the race
but up out of the saddle is truly helpful on those really bad hills - so i figured i need to get on that
plus if i am going to start taking my friend's spin class i should try to get better at the concept
unlike my childhood - nowadays when i stand on the bike i feel like all sequence of peddling gets muddled, my legs are moving fast and out of sync with my body. on the downward motion i am convinced my chest is going to smack into the handle bars and eventually my feet will slip and my chil with slam into the handle bars... hence my hesitation... lo and behold this morning something seemed to kick in, the feet and legs and body struggled at first but did in fact get in sync... it was a cool feeling... i need to add that more frequently...
from the 8 mile ride i did do 2 miles on foot, only a very little run...
overall it was a good feeling
now on with the rest of my day

sleep
the one thing about swimming - it usually lends itself to a good nights sleep
gonna give that a try so i can do it all over again in the AM
tomorrow i'd like to ride my bike further than the people who seem to run forever on the bike path
and i'd like my pace to be faster as well

get in the water
my fear this evening was i would have too much to do and not get out of the office on time. i have a meeting on tuesday that i have only just recently been made aware of. hence i had lots of data digging to do yesterday and today... amizingly enough i got it all done.
so i left about 15 minutes to 5 and headed to the Y
can anyone else remember when i was at the Y last because i sure cant... especially to swim.. it could be january...
the parking in front option to not materialise. i was so lucky over the winter when the "you really need to swim parking fairy" wa on my side. every day for like a month i found a parking spot right in front. not so much this time around. thankfully it wasnt as bad as it can be... and in this weather you dont have to lug quite as many heavy garments too and from the car...
into the Y i went. i did the normal routine of walking over to the window to see how many lanes were open in the pool - NONE! - are you kidding me? in the winter no one was at the Y on a Friday night - I guess this being the first day of summer there were lots of people just kicking about
OH how I hate to share a lane. it has more to do with the awkwardness of standing over someone while they are in the water and you are in just a bathing suit (not to mention fashionable swim cap and goggles) and asking to share. i know they would not say no, but i just hate that feeling. once i get in the water and stasrt moving the share lane aspect doesnt bother me - i might not relax as much but it is quite the simulation to race day. my lane sharer was getting out of the water when i got in so it worked out well.
it took some time to get a pace - i have given up on the breast stroke as my warm up - i am now trying a steady freestyle as my warm up with the intention of picking up my pace in the rest of the workout... it's that picking up thing over the next 4 weeks and rest of the summer that I want to focus on
100 yards right hand breathing, 100 yards left hand breathing - uHp, there goes that water in the left ear...
OK, let's see how much further I can go today... I dont want to make this trek and get out too soon.
I ended up completing 1000 yards in about 28 minutes and eventually had to go back to sharing a lane
I was pleased with the accomplishment
I showered, steam roomed (there was something way off with the temp in that steam room), and actually donned shorts, tank and sneaks and hit the stationary bike for 2.25miles (about 10 minutes)...
I fee good!
tomorrow is a bike/run day at the park
followed by world cup something

dribble
so i already did my 530am walk(almost run) this morning but i just had this world cup inspiration to add to my workout...
i could dribble a soccer ball around in front of me when i walk/run
STOP LAUGHING!!! it would totally help me address those dark negative thoughts in my mind for sure..
half the reason - shoot it could be 90% of the reason - i fend those negative thoughts is because of soccer
i would say the first sport we played each year in gym class from grade 1 to grade 12 was soccer...
i didnt play soccer... my mom was a ballerina. she had me do girlie sports - dance, gymnastics - and i liked it... soccer, not so much
so I dont really think i would have the skill to dribble a ball with me... but it would be quite the site
tonight is supposed to be a swim time - guess i better get that suit, goggle, cap all gathered up - note to self - remember both pieces to the suit :)

boo crazy thunderstorm
so the sky started getting dark sometime around 4 this afternoon... and i kept plugging along with work. and at 5 i still found myself plugging along - really 150+ funds to sift through? if i dont want to do it does anyone else really want to ?. anyways... so a little before 6 i decided to head on out.. i have farm fresh asparagus and potatoes in my basket from the weekly market delivery. i have fresh wild salmon in the fridge from earth fare. i am going home to grill up some food and then head on out on the bike. and when i excited the building, yup it was still a little dark outside but no rain. i even put my sun roof open. but then eventually the rain drops started to fall. it was really just a sprinkle. and when i looked on the horizon toward home i thought it still looked sunny. and closer to home i got the clouds seemed to be following me. sure the horizon looked clear but up close - not so much. i started thinking - i wonder if there is a tornado warning and waht the heck would i do if i saw one? i probably wouldnt be using the "heck" if i did.... and on i drove. i could then start to see the rain moving in the distance. it looked like it had passed my route BUT OH NOOOOOO was i ever wrong about that. not some hundred yards later - MONSOON type rain just teaming down... right on that part of rea road that has really bad drainage, the part i always say i wont drive on in the rain... and it continued until i pulled into the driveway
needless to say - the food got grilled in the middle of the raindrops. truth be told the rain kind of spoiled my mood for the grilled food. i am sure it wouldhave tasted better if it were sunny.
and the bike ride? just not happening
not sure what i am going to do instead
oh VAMPIRE DIARIES....
not that that will get any calorie or cardio in...

yay got up and got something done
I went to bed around 10 last night. Not as early as I had been hitting the hay but still a good attempt at sleep. I have been enjoying the going to bed early and getting up early. It feels like I have accomplished something without really trying. Perhaps even more so since I struggle with sleep.
So the alarm went off at 5 something this morning. I was shocked. I thought it was Saturday and couldnt remember why I turned on my alarm. It took some time to realise it was only Thursday. And then started the mind game - get up get up get up... you have an agenda for the morning... It didnt take too long and I did get up.
Donned the usual - tank top, track pants, heart rate monitor, foot pod, smart watch (that's what I've started calling it), headset, blackberry, pandora... and off I went....
It was a nice morning. Those are the things I need to remember. The low light, the cooler temp, the quiet. The hill on the back side of JKs house is always the tough spot - still warming up, legs still waking up, warming up.... but got up and back down around the neighborhood. It felt good.
30 minutes later I am home with a cup of coffee - my first since Saturday - so that tasted pretty darned good too.
NOW to do it all over again tomorrow.
oh and this evening is supposed to include a bike ride

0 and 3
i had this as my day of rest
and this morning as i struggled to get up i gave myself a pep talk
as i drove out at 6am for the 3 hour drive ahead of me
knowing it would be 14 hours until i would be home again
and somewhere in there i thought - HEY, I could do some hill runs this evening when I get home.
There is a hill up out of the neighborhood. It is a perfect 2 minute run up the hill. Walk back down.
Of course I got home a little later than anticipated.
I had to do an EarthFare run. And that warranted grilling some lunch for tomorrow.
Maybe I will get to bed now and try to get up early tomorrow.
We shall see how that goes.

week in recap
well i didnt work out and train as much as i had wanted to with my week off... and i worked more than i planned to on my week off...
but overall i would call it a good mix of swimming, biking, even some running, reading, time with friends, and rain... so i wont complain that i am back to work tomorrow.
i have a game plan pulled together for the next 5 weeks to hopefully prepare me for the race - tomorrow we are back on Monday evening swim time
I am looking forward to it...
i did drive out to the race site today... no obvious hills like the one in september but there are some long rolling hills... i need to go back out there and check it out again... maybe in a few weeks time

cycling up that hill
yessirree... that was me yesterday.... trying to cycle my butt up that hill. i took the bike out of the shed for it's inaugural season ride over the weekend. i took a small jaunt on sunday - really small, just up and down the road... then i took it to the park on Monday. i did 4 miles - i KNOW pathetic... Tuesday my goal was to go for 6 but got sidetracked with swimming and mostly just sitting out in the sun and reading
Wednesday I worked a full day.
Thursday I went to KPs to ride with her - there was a mix up with Russell.. well not really a mix up but anyways she stayed in while i rode. the difference of riding in her neighborhood versus the park - HILLS. not as many hills as my neighborhood but hills none the less.
I ended up riding for 18 minutes. I suspected I did 2 miles and she confirmed that my distance was probably that.
Let me tell you those hills got me. I dont know if it was the vitamins, the heat, the hills or a combination of all three. But when I was done I could be found lying on her cold kitchen floor trying to regulate my body temperature. I hate that! I havent felt like that in a while. It's not the heat outside type of overheating. It is totally from within. Thankfully it passed quickly.
Then I went off to work.
Today is a full day off and we are going to attempt a bike and swim this morning. I may throw in a walk/run later today if possible.
Then Saturday and Sunday need to be hardcore workouts - swim.bike.run
I suspect I should go to the Y to get back into the swim of things. we shall see.

Crashed on the surface of your love
This ties in the other two posts... Gosh let's hope it all works...
MMM - Your Love
I know it's not Monday but I am continually musing on the new Keane album and Keane as a whole. They definitely keep coming back with music that I like. Many articles slander them for getting away from their "piano" sound. Truthfully I have never given it much thought that they have a piano sound. Even when I saw them live and realised it was just the 3 of them I never thought of them as piano sound. I think Coldplay when I think piano sound. I
AHHHH - I had a bunch of other ramblings and a video embedded but for some reason it did not work...

Swimming
I havent been in the water since it started snowing way back over the winter. Remember that? I was all about swimming swimming swimming for about 2 months. I had gotten myself into such a good routine. And then it started snowing all the time and it just fell by the wayside.
I did start reading a book about swimming at that time. It was about the stroke and the placement of the body. And it was a great read. However it has now escaped my mind it has been so long since I have read them AND been in the water.
I have started to read another book on swimming as well. It is about the first woman to swim the English Channel. I will have to write more about that when I get further into it. So far it has been interesting.

Monday Music Muse - Night Train
I know most may think that I do more listening to the Stereophonics than anything else. But the fact is I do get up occassionally and listen to other music to run and walk by. Hmm - I wonder if a waterproof iPod would be a good investment? Oh, I digress.
I also listen to a whole other world of music. And one is about to step up and take the place of the Jones boys for a while. And that would be Keane.
http://www.keanemusic.com/
They are releasing a new EP later this week. And I have heard many good things. I am looking forward to it. Plus I am hopeful I will finally put a Borders gift card to use with the purchase.
The other thing about the EP that interests me is it sounds like they are venturing in various approaches to music and I am curious to hear what that is all about.
I have been reading lots of articles and watching interviews and from the sounds of it their outside musical influences are ones that appeal to me so it will be cool to give it a listen. Here's hoping that my rental car for Tuesday has satellite and I can find some cool Sirius Keane something... OK - probably wont but that would be cool.

Town Called Malice
If I ever find the ambition to get out there and run walk on a regular basis - Town Called Malice - could be the song to help me pick up the tempo.
Instead this week I found myself spending a good part of my Saturday and my money at Costco. I will have food for a while now.
On Sunday I did go walking with a friend but it wasnt a HRM/footpod type of walk. It was nice. Didn't have the energy to do much more when I got home.
On the Malice bit. I decided to do a little Paul Weller searching. I thought this is good. Change things up a bit. Shake that Kelly Jones habit. WOULD YOU BELIEVE kelly has written a song for the Mr. Weller? I saw a live performance done by the two on a youtube video last night. And of course sucked me right back in. Why couldn't I have found Malice instead and run around the house for a while?

On the Malice bit. I decided to do a little Paul Weller searching. I thought this is good. Change things up a bit. Shake that Kelly Jones habit. WOULD YOU BELIEVE kelly has written a song for the Mr. Weller? I saw a live performance done by the two on a youtube video last night. And of course sucked me right back in. Why couldn't I have found Malice instead and run around the house for a while?

over two weeks
how sad is that
it has been over two weeks since i have posted anything about preparing for the triathlon
sadder yet that i dont have much to document
i did start back up with running walking again this week
but am struggling with the follow through during the work week
hmm - not good
