No Power No Swimming

Along with 144,000 people (down from 330,000) I don't have power today and the training for the Triathlon was canceled.

Rain Rain Go Away...

Wet snow and rain today so i was inside on the ol' treadmill. Not much else to say.

2 Muffins and a Coffee

So I did a little experiment today and had 2 apple muffins and an 8oz coffee at around 8am. I than ran at noon. Guess what i discovered. Yep! No energy. I was draggin'. When i run in the morning i have an 8oz glass of OJ and a half- ish scoop of protein powder and i feel great. Or least i feel awful when i don't. Next run (might be a while from now. We're suppose to get a bunch of snow all week.) I'll let you know how i feel.

Group Tri Training #2

We had another group training and we swam for 45 min. We needed to get out of the pool for the next group of lil' fishies. We did a little more swimming and i actually felt my shoulders getting tired. It was neat. Then we went for a run. What a beautiful day and a great way to start my birthday.

Felt Good but it Felt Bad

I did not want to run today. My body. My mind. My legs. My but I did anyway. It was a struggle and it felt like I was running so slow while avoiding puddle, and walking a ton but i still ran faster than the last group run i did last Tuesday. So that feels pretty good. I'm trying to get a gym to donate pool time to train and no one is helping yet. This was actually my greatest fear of trying to complete a tri. Not getting enough pool time.

Before the storm

It's suppose to snow a bunch today so i ran early to get my workout in. It was snowing on me a little. My body had a hard time with this run. This is the most mileage (this past week) I've done in awhile an i might be getting tired. Plus i did some strength training yesterday. I only had a bowl of cereal about 3 hours ago and don't think that was enough fuel. I'll have to do better next time.

Tri Group Training #1

Our first group training for the triathlon was today. We did swimming drills for an hour because technique is everything. Then it was out into the cold and by that i mean the locker rooms. Burrr. We also went out for a run. Some people run more than other but the whole team did a great job. A couple of us ran a little more. My goal isn't just to finish...
