The Countdown Begins May 31, 2005

I think I may have overdone it this weekend. Saturday was 2 ½ hours – bike, swim, lift, bike, run. Sunday morning I did a 4 mile run in the morning, then that afternoon I rode to my mom’s 13 miles. Yesterday, I had to take advantage of the opportunity to ride Sunday’s race course so I did a 17 mile bike ride in the morning. And then in the afternoon I rode to the gym, swam a 1000, and then rode home.

I actually wasn’t tired yesterday but today I am tired and cranky. My ride in was okay…nice & cool. My legs felt good. But I am so irritable today. Argh. I just want to go home and crawl in to bed and pull the covers over my head. :-( Maybe I just didn't get enought sleep this weekend. If only I could find a place here at work for me to take a quick nap. I almost feel like crawling under my desk, but they would probably hear me…

My workouts actually went really well this weekend. My legs were definitely stronger this past week. Bike is great. Swimming is going well & I’m starting to lessen my stroke count. My speed is picking back up on my runs. And I did a little running after my 17 mile ride yesterday and my legs were still happy campers. I feel like I’m ready for my first triathlon on Sunday. Now, I just need to get some sleep and rest and I’ll be ready. :-) Just 6 more days! :-O

To end on a happy note…I finally got to see Star Wars yesterday. Woo Hoo!
