Run Eat Repeat (latestItemTitle)

Hello and Happy Monday!

Since I did a run/bike combo yesterday and a 14 miler on Saturday I knew my legs were due for a rest. I took a little 2 mile walk to wake up and came home for the usual fare.

I pretty much avoided the computer all weekend so I have a lot of work to do today! Luckily, I realized Monday would be busy and I thawed some chicken last night. I dumped it in the crockpot and dinner tonight is done!

After breakfast I hit the pool for a few laps. I went to Pam's master swim class, but did my own thing. I do need to work on form and drills, but I just wanted to swim 200 meters in a row to see how it felt. Well, it was hard! (Which only makes me realize how much I really need to work on form and breathing!!) But I did it.

Music Monday

Bricks and Bikes

I went to the group practice this morning for next week's triathlon. When I left the house I was a little nervous. I'm not a good bike rider and am scared to ride around other people. I'm such a scaredy cat and have a horrible imagination (where I constantly picture the worst thing happening). I just know I'm going to fall and get run over and road rash on my vagine and a crow will eat my dead body.

Seriously.

Anyways, we started off easy – 2.5 mile run and 9 mile bike. We basically did the first part of the race (it's a backwards tri).

Post-bike fuel…

PSA- I had this Clf Shot Gel in Citrus on my Saturday long run. Not.A.Fan.

I got the coolest package in Friday and took pictures with my new parachute, but now the pics are MIA?!?!?!?! I think that's my sign to log off and enjoy my evening. See ya tomorrow.
