I'm Back

Apparently I just needed to take an almost 2 month hiatus. With the new weather comes a revitalized me!!

I finished my 3 hour run today (it ended up being 3:01:49 as I was determined to hit 20 miles and was so close at 3 hours that I just finished it). Mara is such an amazing animal!! She ran the whole distance with Tim and I. She is very tired now, but so are we.

Yesterday's ride was 2:30:00 and was VERY good. I did a good job of staying in my suggested heart rate zones, which was difficult to do at times. I definitely need more practice on the bike to get faster and more efficient. I need to find some bike races where I am forced to try to hold on with the other cyclists.

After the ride, we went to the pool and put in an hour swim. I still don't like getting into the pool to do my swim workouts. I try so hard to think of the Caribbean, but for some reason, it is still not appealing :( I think I don't like smelling like chlorine for days after!! I use some great soap/shampoo, but it still doesn't get that stink out!!

I am going to go replenish my nutrition...I all of a sudden got very hungry thinking of all this exercise :)

  1. WELCOME BACK!! I missed you! Even your postings are inspirational to me.

    After 3 hrs of running, what another 2 minutes? ;) You're awesome, an amazing woman! I might have to have Noelle come down there and set you straight if you didn't finish that last couple minutes. lol

    Yes, I love Mara. She is a beautiful animal! Maybe she can pull me through a marathon. jk

    OK, the Caribbean doesn't work, nice smelly shampoo doesn't work, hmmm... swim like Forest is after you with his bows! Sorry Tim. You always feel better when you're done right?
