Ooops, almost forgot to report on my day. I will make it fast it is LATE!!!

Hmmm. Ok I did Core for 15 minutes this a.m. This is my weak link..not for long tho.

Waited till it got warm for my Brick Workout. Started about 3:30p.m. I wore my tri pants..they hit about knee level. Then just a plain grey Tank..I feel like I look like I am trying too hard when I wear a TRI top as well. SO I like to break it up with something junky looking..haha. Also had some Arm warmers on..am I the only one who thinks those look a lil...um....Sexay? I wore them because A jacket would have been too much and just the tank not enough..I had bought them for the Triathlon and didn't end up using them..haha...

Did a two loop course of 10 miles each. It went really fast. On the second loop I was stopped at a light..and two CUTE guys whistled at me from their car..haha. I pretended that I was too cool for cute guys. They were perpendicular to my path so I had to ride right on front of them. Glad I didn't fall over on my mount..haha.

This workout I went harder than planned. I was focused on traffic, bumps, potholes, and sewer drain covers more than heart rate. I  will get better at focusing on all. I figured safety was #1!!!

Immediately after the 20mile Bike, I put on running shoes and a baseball cap, grabbed my ipod and went. It feels so cool running right after riding. Not only do I start charging wicked fast since My legs were moving at a higher cadence for an hour, but I kind of start running with a forward lean since I had been in aero bars for the last hour as well...Takes me a good 5-6 strides to force my body upright..haha. 

My coaches didn't specify speed on the run..just time so I took full advantage..hehe..Let myself push it a bit. 36:20 5 miles. My pacing was pretty even, but toward the end I had to push harder I was getting tired.

My daughter made some cookies this eve....and well I tasted one little lick of frosting and it hit me like wildfire..haha. Ate several cookies with frosting and then I was bouncing off the walls so I took advantage of my energy and hit the gym with hubby. We Parallel play..so he did his weights and I went and Lifted Shoulders  for about 30minutes.

Well and then I have been doofing off the rest of the eve. Nite! <3

I love arm warmers. Best invention ever. Although mine are made out of old soccer socks. I figure it is easier to throw those away in the middle of a race then ones I actually spent money on. I do need to buy a proper pair for training though.

That was a really fast 5 miles. Like, really fast. Great job today. That was a heck of work-out.

Jun!!! :)

I have some of the Pearl Izumi Therma Fleece. They worked well..I wonder if I might try the Thermal Lite too...I like the sock idea. There are tons of cool stripey knee high socks I could have fun with.

Yah that run was crazy. It wasn't race pace I would say...but close to what I would run at the Olympic Distance I am doing May 15th. I really don't have my TRI pacing down yet.

They do say to add 30sec per mile for a tri as opposed to a road race. So if my 10k is 6:45pace, expect to run a 7:15pace for the TRI. The problem is I haven't run a 5k or a 10k recently enough to know what my pace is..haha. I am toying with the idea of racing a 5k this Sat. if I can find one.

Nice workouts Missy! Looking very strong! Yes, run a 5k. I'm sure you'll smash your previous time by a lot.

You need to be careful of the UC boys that whistle at you from their cars. Ha. Nice report. You have really been on fire lately.

Sam: I need to come visit your blog..I need to find out how you're doing with your injuries and whatnot..I am SO out of the loop! Yes, I can type fast sometimes. Sometimes my mind goes 400miles an hour..but sometimes MY mind is like...slow MO! Frustrating..haha.

Vinh..I have an idea, haven't asked him yet, I might twist Walters arm and see if he want's to pace me for a 5k. Is that cheating. I am trying to decide also if that will make me run faster or if it will make me distracted having someone next to me. Just a thought. Oooh haha..yeah my best 5k is a 20:12. I could smash it I am certain.

Scott: I figured they whistled because I had sunglasses on and they couldn't tell how old I am..haha.
