Week 21

So, can I just point out one thing first? Ok, thanks. So my original "plan" was 24 weeks (not that I have been actually following it, but that's not the point). I am apparently unable to count correctly...my race is definitely not in 3 weeks. I was pretty sure I started week 1 when I was supposed to, but maybe I was just so excited (who wouldn't get soo so excited to start devoted your entire life to hurting your body!????). I have a MS and I cannot count. I wasn't even close.. I just realized this too.
*pats self on back*

Ok, down to business.

Mon 9/17: OFF. I slowly started to hurt more and more from riding 210 miles in a week. And slowly starting to wish I had not. but it's still pretty badass.

Tues 9/17: 3 mile run (28 min).  So I lied. I didn't time this, I just made up that time. I was nervous to run. It's scary. but it went ok, actually.  I probably went slower.

Wed 9/18: 65 min bike (19 miles), TRX. A good old fashioned trainer workout. Nothing exciting to say about that. call me maybe?

Thurs 9/19: TRX. I am such a slacker.

Fri 9/20: off. Seriously, hurt so good/bad. I got a massage and turned down people to go out. Training sometimes and is taking a toll on my body.

Sat 9/21: 5.1 mile run, 19 mile bike (65 min). Now this was a fun day. I woke up early to run to Northeastern (faster than taking the dumb train. i hate the train. smelly gross people). Then met up with pattie and friends to head to big dog 5k where she made her debut with UKE running. Bascially she sings/plays the ukulele while running. Awesome. She did great.  And this was my first 5k ever (not including triathlon 5ks).  So i automatically PRed. We managed to still go like 11 min miles even though we were kicking dancing shouting stopping doing everything but running normally.

Sun 9/22: 57 mile bike (4 hours), 2 mile run (17 min), TRX, 16 mile commute bike (1 hour 30 min). HUB ON WHEELS! So I last minute signed up for this even in Boston (gov center) to be on Team Larabar.  There are 10, 30 and a 50 mile ride around the city to choose from. Of course I choose the 50. I have to admit, I was not very happy at the beginning, but i guess I expected it to be super crowded and slow.  I didn't really like riding my brakes though. Once it broke off to 30 and 50 things got better.  I rode along with some middle age men for a little while.  We were hauling pretty good.  I think i held my own pretty well for a chick. After it was done there was a partay...I ate a burrito then headed home for some beer of course.

So they closed off the Freeway for us to bike all over it. That was cool. I was weaving all over the place. Just like how i used to drive in california anyways.

Views were awesome. 

WEEKLY TOTALS

111 mile bike (7 hours 40 min), 10.1 mile run (1 hour 40 min), TRX x2 I slightly tamed it down (hard to believe taming things down is still over 100 miles of biking). Hopefully feeling better this week. Right now I am paranoid about my foot. "it feels weird" "maybe i shouldn't run" "what am i going to do". emotional rollercoaster. it will be fine. i think.

OH and notice I boycotted swimming this week. I dunno, i have old shoulders. they need a rest from that grueling (sarcasm) once a week routine. 

Im so full of it.
