New Record!

I swam 2 miles without stopping! Yahoo!

New record for me! :)

Kept it slow and steady...nothing too exciting speed-wise, but hey I'm just pumped I did it. It's been crazy fitting in workouts with work this week and my sis-in-law's wedding (there's at least one event each day from Wednesday-Saturday for this wedding), but here's how the week is going Tuesday-Tuesday:

Tuesday: HR testing at my Coach's place
Wednesday: AM--run 1:15 with pickups to Zone 3. PM: Ride 1:30 interval workout on trainer (which by the way kicked my BUTT)
Thursday: AM--run 60 minutes Zone 2. PM: swim 3300 Meters
Friday: Ride 1:30, core work
Saturday: wedding all day--seriously, have to leave for hair appointment at 7:40 for cryin' out loud--no workout today :(
Sunday: 4:30 ride on HILLS (bring it ON) and 45 minute run off bike, 2 softball games at night if I can stand up and swing a bat
Monday: Hilly run at Hinckley for 2:15, core work

Despite the craziness of this week I'm excited to be on track to fit all this in!

GOOD LUCK to IM Cd'A and IM France racers this weekend: Rob and Su/Bryce/Kurt! I will be obsessively checking my computer if I can at any time on Saturday....can't wait to hear all the reports!

Rob, was that you in the pool today? I would have stopped but I was trying to see if I could make it to 2 miles....kinda looked like you when I did a flip turn, and whoever it was was SUPER fast so I figured it might be you! But I thought you would have left? Anyway--have FUN!

Everyone else have a great Thursday afternoon--get out there and play!

U playing two baseball games on sun. Good luck :).

I have been bad. Whenever i play social sports after i train, i am super tired and grouchy :). My friend said "u would expect Cliff to be super fit b/c he trains...then this time at volleyball he just lies on the bench like a road kill".

yeah.that's me :0

Sounds like you do great with juggling everything. That is some serious training, lots of time. It will all pay off race day. Great two mile swim too, the training for that is impressive!

I'm kinda jealous about the wedding day, no training, feel like a woman day. Lately, I have felt so gross, hot and sweaty. All the time, all day long. It's so friggin hot!

I'd like a "Dressed up, with make-up and my hair done day." :)
Take lots of pics at the wedding. You'll have some, "I am a hottie" shots! :) Enjoy your day off!
