Ok. I have obviously been slacking on keeping my posting updated. Probably because I had a HORRIBLE week last week!! I only did about 1/2 of my scheduled workouts and was at school much more than I should have been!! This week I am back on track and going to complete ALL workouts on their scheduled day.
Monday morning I went to group ride at 5:30 am and rode about 10.5 miles in the 50 minute class. Monday evening I went to Core Strength for Athletes class and really worked my core muscles. I am still sore today!!
Tuesday morning I slept in as I knew I was meeting a friend in the afternoon for a run and swim. I ran 50 min of hill repeats (5.38 miles) and got my butt kicked!! A couple of the hills toward the end were really difficult for me. I figured it was ok that my pace was a bit slower on these hills as I had a GREAT run Sunday (12.64 miles with an average pace of 8:43...the last 3 miles had an average pace of 8:25)!! After the run I ate dinner and then went to the pool for my swim workout. I swam 1750 yards (just over a mile) doing a variety of scheduled drills and strokes. The hardest part for me is getting to the pool, getting in the pool and swimming the first 100 yards. The pool water is definitely not warm like the Caribbean ocean!!
Today, I am off to the gym to do my weight training (despite the crummy roads) routine. It should be about 1.5 hours of wonderful pain :)

I would hardly call you a slacker! You may be dissappointed with what you did last week, but every week can't be great. In the big picture you aren't missing anything! Half is still more than anything I did last week, and it is WAY more than the average person does in any year. You are successful! You are a triathlete!! You are amazing!!! Keep going.
