Last Sunday I walked across the finish line at the Napa Marathon and then I did a lot of walking, but after that I did a whole lot of nothing this week. I hate taking time off, but I'm so incredibly injury prone that I knew it was best if I really take it easy. I'm a little nervous going into Wildflower training that I haven't done enough up to this point which really makes me want to make up for lost time, but I didn't and I actually kind of enjoyed myself, but I am still overwhelmed with exhaustion.
Monday: TO practice
My students have this class competition called Trojan Olympics every year and monday marked the first week of practice until 9:30pm. Although I was sore, I felt pretty good considering some of my friends were having trouble walking
Tuesday: Lululemon
I left my running shoes at home, but I did lace up my new balance minimus shoes and went for a walk to the weekly lululemon run. I brought Nick clothes to change into so he could participate and I enjoyed the latest edition of runners world and a cup of tea while others got their miles in. This was followed by post-run dollar tacos with friends.
Wednesday: To work-out or not to work-out
I thought I might go to the pool and make use of the swim bouy, but Nick came down with a bad cold so I opted for an episode of Fringe, dinner, and sitting on my butt.
Thursday: Back at it
I hit the track, but not for a track workout. My training plan called for a 30 minute run so I cheered on my track friends, did some drills and got 3 miles in at an easy pace and it actually felt pretty easy. Being on the track made me really think about how close I was to Boston and so... I registered for Marathon #3: California International Marathon. There is no guarantee I will get there, but I can't quit knowing I was so close.
Friday: Lack of rest caught up with me
I planned all day to swim after work, but as I headed to the pool I just had nothing in me so the car made it's way home and I made my way to the couch. It was probably for the best or I would have been cranky and anti-social for a friend's birthday party.
Saturday: Cautious saturday ride
I made plans to go for a short ride with Laney and other friends. The route was close to 30 miles, but I ended up only riding 11 miles before I was having a few twinges of pain in my knee and unfortunately Gabby's bicycle chain broke. I ended up heading home and being an absolute bum for the rest of the day until I met up with my friend Mel and her husband Nick to try out some new places in San Francisco and catch-up.
Sunday: run...well then again
I woke-up just drained and I know I have a long week ahead and plans to start my tri training back up so I have been keeping the couch company. I rarely act this lazy, but somehow I feel I really needed it. Now onward to make some progress one Marathon down now to make it through a half marathon, olympic triathlon and 70.3.
