Week 8

Crazy week.....lots of "PR's" this week I guess you can say. I was adding up my biking mileage and was like wait, really? I did that much this week?  Only was 1 mile off what I will have to do in one sitting...for a week. I can finally say I've almost done an Ironman in one week (few miles off of running). hahahahaha. that's pathetic, kind of. good thing i am only 1/3 of the way there....happy 1/3!!!! 16 more weeks to go.

mon 6/18: OFF. I could barely walk, honestly. That NH ride + Ruckus did me in pretty well.  Instead I sat around at work and did nothing at BMC (sometimes patients decide never to come), then drank beer. 

tues 6/19: 70 min bike (17 miles), 3 mile run (26 min).  Nothing that exciting. Trainer workout + run. yahoo.

Wed 6/20: 60 min bike (15 miles), TRX. Again, nothing exciting. HOT as hell outside...90s...yuck. I stayed in.

Thurs 6/21:  6 mile run (53 min) I had no patient so changed my schedule around to run in the AM to try to avoid the heat.  It was still hot at 5 15 am.

Fri 6/22: So, I really was going to swim today.  But I decided last min that I wasn't going to work since there wasn't anything to do! My supervisor pretty much told me to go to the beach, so I did.  I got really burnt. Was a fun day though.  I'm still burnt. 

Sat 6/23: 11 mile run (1 hour 40 min), TRX, 70 min bike (17 miles). Longest run yet! Well, in 2 years at least.  Weather was a lot more bearable.  I ran around all the ponds around me.  I pretty much spent all day working out, then went out in Cambridge for a Citysports reunion (well, goodbye party).  I stayed out till after 1 am........wow haven't done that in ages! I'm sucha grandma...I go out on the nights no one else does usually. Anyways, was a good time...good to see CS people as usual. 

Sun 6/24: 62 mile bike (4 hours 5 min), 2 mile run (16 min). I woke up tired...but not hungover at least.  I kept it safe the night before ha. I did sleep in later than I thought, so got a later start.  It was warm out (82) and I am currently sitting here with red arms.... and I can see my watch basically without it being there.  I made the mistake of trying a new electrolyte drink ...it tasted like shit...so I hardly drank it.  I even stopped to buy a bottle of water at walgreens. I still think i was pretty dehydrated plus starving. That 2nd mile of the run was rough. I ordered some more power food and got some non-disgusting electrolyte drink. I'm beat. I did do a new route! south shore (but not the coast)...was a good one...minus mattapan and milton...those are truly gems of Massachusetts (NOT).  

Weekly TOTAL: 

111 mile bike (highest yet! 7 hours 25 min), 22 mile run (3 hours 15 min), TRX x2 Ok, so I didn't swim this week.  I plan on joining cambridge masters July 1st.....

Here's some minions.
