Went to the gym and did another night on the treadmill. It has been raining all week, so I can’t get myself to strap on a headlamp and run in the dark and rain. It took awhile for a treadmill to open up, all the dedicated people working out on a Friday night. I did a few light weights before to kill the time.

I can swim! No matter what my husband says….he said to me “glad you’re alive” when I told him I swam for my workout tonight. I wanted to run but my body does not like to run 3 days in row. I lifted upper body again, worked the guns. Also did some ab and core work.

Wanted to get a flexibility workout in to finish up a good first week back in training. My hot yoga friends were not around to go to class with, and I did not want to go alone, so I dialed up yoga on my cable on demand feature. Pretty good yoga for free and in my living room. I barely got out of my pajamas into some of my old not so flattering old 1990s style shorts. This was a good alternative to heading out and spending time from home. My 14 year old harassed me for a while and then joined for a while. Once we were finished we spent some time together in the kitchen, something we both enjoy, but don’t do enough.

I thought I would work on my guns since I cannot do any thing that involves my knee. Focused my efforts on my Lats, pecs, bi’s and tri’s. Not as fulfilling as time on the road.

I am trying to limit my running this week in anticipation for this weekend Western States training camp. I leave on Friday for N. Cal. Feeling the need to get something physical accomplished I thought I might go and do some laps at the gym pool.
I have a little problem…whenever a friend or training partner gets the idea to TRI, I catch bug. It makes no sense because I cannot swim or really ride a bike. That’s why I run..run …& run some more. I do want to do one baby triathlon in my life, but wow one night in the pool can really put a damper on that dream.
I went on to lift a little upper body getting ready to carry water bottles for 100 miles makes one motivated to do some curls! But I was pretty spent from the my flailing in the pool and could not make much of my time with the weights. Still it was better than working the night away or sitting on the couch.
