last week's goals: - swim x 3: WIN, though one of them was in a 10m hotel pool and only 20mins.
- bike x 2: FAIL. 1 only, but decent length (2h40m)
- run x 4: WIN, including a longer trail run.
- core/strength x 2 (done): WIN
my in-laws finally flew back home sunday evening, so i now have my life back and can resume normal workouts and eating (oh, the irony of my mother in law telling me "you need to take time for yourself to relax" and then staying for 8 days). was off yesterday but didn't get much training done - we were out at a friend's birthday bbq until 02:30 on sunday night/monday morning so didn't get up until 11-ish, then tried to grocery shop after breakfast but everything was closed (last i checked the holiday is july 1st, not the 2nd), got myself all hot and cranky and then spent hours finally unpacking the garbage bags and laundry baskets we've been living out of for the past 3 weeks. not everything fit in the new bedroom setup, so we ended up taking 2 garbage bags full of cast-off clothing to the local thrift store. finally did manage to get out on my bike for 45mins and run for 35mins around 8pm, but really had to kick my ass to get out the door; too tired and unmotivated to do anything at all.
this week's goals:
- swim x 4
- bike x 4 (1 done)
- run x 6 (1 done)
- core/strength x 3 (1 done)
have an olympic distance tri on the 14th, so i'll try to put in some sharpening workouts - haven't been up to anything other than easy or at most a bit of tempo lately, so i'll chuck in a couple of hills and fartlek stuff since the bike & run courses have some elevation change to them.
cheers!
