EIGHTEEN WEEKS


Of training left.


I've been running, biking, swimming, strength training and stretching.


When do I do this?


Well, lately it's been during the day. I'll swim while Cate plays at the Y. I'll bike on the trainer or run on the treadmill while she naps. Strength training/stretching while she's playing at lifetime. So far it's only been 1x per week. I'd like to get it to 2x per week.


She's busy toddler (thankfully) so she absolutely looks forward to her playtime. I can tell when I place her down and she goes running into the play area.



I'm still doing swim drills in an effort to improve my swim. I probably should've done this in Nov. Dec and Jan. But, I was more focused on the 1/2 marathon at the time.


I'll continue to do drills, be positive and eventually swim much better.


Tomorrow we have a 2.5 hour rolling hill ride planned and on Saturday I'll need to run 6 miles on rolling hills. My training partner in crime Bruce and Tammy probably won't like us doing hills too much over these several weeks, but it'll help make them stronger too.

Ha! I love the hills. There is nothing more exhilarating than lugging an extra 20 lbs up a long hill!!!
