February 4 – 10

This was a week full of ups and downs… Majority of training felt great after taking a lot of time off to recover from a marathon and being sick. When I did my legs workout on Monday though, I learned that I still have some weak muscle – this time it was in my butt and thighs. I walked funny the next day 😜 Bike rides were actually pretty nice. That long run though… Originally, I was supposed to do 20 miles. But everything went wrong! First of all, I started way too late. I had a reason though – it was cold and I was hoping it would warm up. It didn’t. At least not really. Patches of ice were not awesome! And let’s admit it: I was just not feeling motivated. I tried talking Diana into letting me schedule another marathon before my Ironman 70.3 in August. The answer was a stern NO! I know she is right, but it doesn’t make it great. At least I did talk her into adjusting my schedule to include swimming every week, rather than every other week. I just love my Thursday lunch time swims too much to give them up! Sadly, it’s biking I need to work on more. I am working on it… After all, I listen… Well, at least try 😉 This week is starting much better though, but more on that next week 😊
