It has been 3 days since I have written. The 13.1 mile run last Sunday made my body wonder, what the hell am I doing to myself? I took 3 days off and I felt like crap on the third day so I figured it was time to hit it.
It all started at 4:30 at the Gunnison pool. Ashton, Sher and I did the swim distance. Ashton's swim is 100 meters. He finished way befor Sher and I so he just played around and jumped off the diving board.
When we were all finished we went to The Body Barn to do the bike and the run. Ash's distance is 2 miles on the bike and a 1 mile run. He did 3.7 miles on the bike, 1 mile run and 1 mile on the eliptical. Not bad for 9 years old. Sher did 12.5 miles on the bike and 1.61 miles on the treadmill. She almost did the total TRI distance in her first exercise session in over a year. SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!!! I did the 12.5 miles on the bike and 1.79 miles into the run I was having a hard time and I figured that it was because of the half marathon last weekend. Then I noticed that the treadmill was on a 2.5 incline, DAMN. Set it to a 0 incline and finished the run with no problems. My time was 2:08:30 not bad but it will get better!
Quote of the day.....
"Pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit."
I will run again tomorrow, it might not be the 14 miles I should do but we will see. These 4 day work weekends really get in the way of my training.
EVERYDAY FARTHER, FASTER, SMARTER, STRONGER
