Week 7

I like mud.  I like running, jumping, climbing things.  This was kind of a weird week in the sense I feel like I didn't do as much as I should have.  I did actually do a race this week.  That I did not bail out of!

Mon 6/11: TRX. That's all I did. I bet it was because I was sore from the weekend workouts. but honestly I can't remember bc i am writing this late and didn't write as I was going.

Tues 6/12:60 min bike (16 miles), 2.2 mile run (20 min). trainer interval workout/easy run. nothing exciting. EXCEPT....I split my day between BMC and BWH. I had to go into BWH because I was behind in reports and would have been way behind if I hadn't gone in.  Anyways, found out I am FULL TIME at brigham! Put the two weeks in at BMC...start date July 2nd.  So pumped.

Wed 6/13: 2700 yard swim.  I finally swam. Paid 5 bucks. Watch swim lessons go on near me.  Remembered how I did that all the time....I miss it in a way. but i don't miss getting sick all the time

Thurs 6/14: 8.1 mile run (1 hour 6 min).  8 20 something pace! This was actually a speed play workout...and one of my better runs ever! It felt awesome....I ran by the Charles then back around to Brigham. Confidence booster right there.  Went drinking for Lora's last day afterwards.  I went smelly. solid.

Friday 6/15: off for traveling so I can race Ruckus Boston Saturday!

Sat 6/15: 4 mile obstacle course/mud run (about 1 hour). SO much fun! Some bwh peeps ran together and had a blast.  This totally makes me want to do tough mudder.  I got through all the obstacles well except slipping off the monkey bars.  need gloves or something.  Throwing in many of those races next year for sure!

sun 6/16: 66 mile bike (4 hours 5 min), TRX. A group of us went up to NH to bike the Timberman course!  Tough, hilly, but fun ride.  I led the back of the pack (aka i rode in the back the whole time because everyone was kicking my ass). Averaged around 17mph, which isn't too shabby for those hills i was going around 6 mph up.  Not to mention, i hit 40 down one hill....what a scary yet thrilling ride. would hate to fall when doing that.  We were almost done and all the sudden my pedals stopped...and wouldn't move.  I nearly flew from my bike but somehow got myself off without falling.  Turns out a piece of metal got stuck IN MY CHAIN. wtf??? i had to yank that shit out....then re-set my chain. im not really sure how that happened but it was a good sized piece.  I forgot my running shoes because i did a little commute to get to my ride (at 5am)....so i went to the beach instead of running after all that. well, darn.  Ate a whole pizza then headed home.  Gonna be sore.

Weekly TOTAL:

2700 swim, 74 mile bike (5 hours 5 min), 14.3 mile run (2 hours 28 min), TRX x2 So i made the mistake of looking ahead of my "training plan".............into weeks 12-13. What the hell am i doing to myself? so far, it's all been do-able. but looking ahead i'm slightly terrified.
