Since I last blogged I ran the DC half marathon, but have otherwise been pretty lax in my training. After the race on Saturday, March 26, I took 3 days off and then just got in WFBC, an easy 4 miler on the treadmill Thursday(complete with music and Law and Order on tv) and then a 10 miler on Saturday. I had planned to go for a tempo run on Friday but I woke up and my garmin was broken...so that pretty much broke my spirits so I just stayed in bed. Also, to be perfectly honest, I probably needed the rest b/c my body was still broken from WFBC on Wednesday.
So, I'm supposed to be getting ready to do my first indoor triathlon this coming Saturday but my heart is just not in it. So, I'm thinking it is probably best just to pass on this one. I just haven't been getting my swims in. Swimming is definitely my weakest sport and I wanted to do some lessons with my friend Erin even before I started training, and between both of our schedules, it just never happened. The biking and running I know I could do, but I just don't want to jump into this tri thing when I'm not ready. Instead, I've set my sights on the NYRR sprint triathlon in Queens in July. It gives me a few months to get myself better at swimming and now, to get ready for the outdoor bike.
So, in the meantime now that I'm all recovered from my half marathons, I'm ready to step up my training a bit. I've decided to keep 2 days a week of WFBC (because, I'm obsessed and love it too much not to go at least that much), do Tuesday terrier practice, and a long run on the weekend. I'm also going to try to race some shorter races once or twice a month. I think I should also try to throw some spin in there and once it gets warm get some rides on my bike. I also purchased a bikram package that I need to use...gotta fit that in somewhere. Maybe I will go tonight...
Today, I did WFBC consistent with this plan. I really cant even express how much I love it. I'm constantly challenged by the stair running, obstacle course, bear crawls and basically everything they throw at me. It never gets old. What does get old though, is me sucking at the obstacle course :( I'm hoping some consistency will help me out with this. Today Alanna joined me for my Monday butt kicking. She bought a 3 pack and plans to come with me Wednesday too. :-D
That's all I've got for now...will do a better job with the updates going forward.
