Last night’s training session was AWESOME and NAWESOME in many ways:
1. I get to leave the office 30 minutes early (AWESOME) BUT it’s only because traffic sucks so much a** that there’s no way I’d get to Kearny Mesa by 6pm (NAWSOME). Which I didn’t last night. The freeway stopped at the 805/8 interchange and side roads proved to be fruitless. If there’s one thing that drives me completely batty, it’s sitting at a red light when there’s no one coming from the other direction. Oy vey. I’ll test out various routes and (hopefully) find one that gets me there on time.
2. The workout was a BLAST! Soooooo much fun and it really kicked my ass. (Which is actually more awesome than nawsome since it’s a good pain.) We did lots of lunges and squats in various planes (frontal is the only one I remember right now) and in between sets of 5 excercises, we ran. We finished up by combining the Race To Stop MS (herein referred to as RTS) group with the Team in Training folks and had a blast doing paired skipping, pushing, do-si-do-ing and other random things that not only made us laugh hysterically, but were also a great workout.
This morning I did some swimming and my legs weren’t too pleased with that decision. They are paying me back right now by making it difficult to walk. 🙂 I’m going to draw a bath and put some epsom salts and soak for a bit. Tomorrow is a resting day, Saturday is a swim day and Sunday will be a bike day. The BF is coming down to do some hill training. We’ll be doing repeats up and down some torturous hill in San Marcos. It is very hilly around here and if I’m ever going to commute to work, I’ve got to conquer my fear. (I HATE HILLS!) ADDITIONALLY, the bike portion of the triathlon has been described as “hilly,” which is really just a nice way of saying “you’re going to hurt.” The one consolation is that the running leg (and the LAST leg) is flat. Thankyouittybittybabyjesus.
So training rocks and I’m super motivated. Hope it lasts 5 more months!
