Hello ladies! Glad to hear training is going well. Boy, do I relate to recovering from injury and/or weight gain! I've had a stress fracture and ITBS in the past and am also currently working at getting that weight back down. It's so frustrating, and I'm not a spring chicken anymore, haha. Anna, sorry to hear your children are sick! Sending you healing thoughts so your family can get healthy and back to normal soon.
I had a bad cold two weeks ago so last week was great by comparison. Five runs, two rides (one outside), and two weights sessions. I had to cut Sunday's run short because it was 94 degrees (34 for my Canadian friends). I can do hot, I can do sunny, and I can do no breeze, but all three was just too much for me on Sunday. So my husband and I played hooky and had a few drinks by the pool instead. =) I won't hit 100 miles for the month, mostly because of being sick, but I'm surprisingly OK with it. Also in round number news, my total training time last week was 9 hours, 52 minutes. WHY OH WHY didn't I add it up beforehand so I could do 10 minutes of yoga to hit an even 10? Or run one more mile? GRRR! A minor frustration for a typical Type A triathlete, I guess. Haha
We have a big work event Saturday so I am going to really try to hit a workout every weekday. It was 94 again yesterday so I ran on the treadmill, boring but much cooler and I have Netflix. I'd like to run 4-5 total times this week, do at least 2 trainer rides, and lift twice. Hitting the pool and extra stuff will be tricky, but we'll see what I can fit in.
Side note: Do any of you use TrainerRoad? I have a subscription and have done the odd workout but would like to try an actual training plan over the winter. I'm wondering if there's any advantage over the Sweet Spot Base and the mid-volume Olympic Triathlon base, for example, or if I should just pick one and go with it.
Pic is of me after my run Thursday, hahaha -- I had dead bugs under my nails. SOOOOO GROSS!!!!!!!!!!
