| Gym date with Rylee! :) (Friday mornings are the BEST!) ******************* 20 minutes rower (3300 m) 20 minutes upright bike (Kilimanjaro/10) 20 minutes shagging balls for Rylee. (Started out with a game of horse. Sadly, for me, Rylee beat me in less than 3 minutes ... no joke! I was H-O-R-S-E and she was merely H, I had one lucky shot.) So ... we decided it best if I just shagged balls for her while she would shoot from various spots around the 3 point line making it look as easy as Sunday morning. DANG!!! Proud mama am I!!! :) :) :) | | Add Comment |

| 9 miles (1 warmup, 7 w/ AP 7:33, 1 cooldown on 6% incline) * This is the hardest I have pushed in a LONG time. Zero pain, will see how the leg feels in the morning. :) 15 minutes upright bike This semester is OVER!!!! I am so relieved. It was much more difficult and time consuming that I had imagined. I feel as if I did really well on my first three finals but am worried that I really messed up on this last one. Yikes! Overall, I have learned more in these past 4 months than any other 4 months in my life (including the first four months of PT school). I feel pretty confident that if I were a PT right now that there would be above a 50% chance that I could correctly diagnose a patient's impairment. But ... I am pretty certain that patients expect more than a 50% chance. :) :) :) Also, chances are I would NOT be able to effectively treat the impairment. DANG ... guess I better stay in school for another 2.33 years. I am certain that the additional $46K I will pay over these next 28 months will guarantee that I graduate a genius!!!! :) :) :) |

60 minutes upright bike (hill plus/cascades/7-14) quads were burning by the time I was done :) 1.25 mile swim, just under 45 minutes I think I will take a nap now and then I will go mountain bike shopping when I wake up. :) :) :) I LOVE BEING ON BREAK!!!!

9 miles -- all very nice and slow except for the 6 800s I threw in the middle. A 400 m SLOW jog (11 minute pace) in between each 800. Paces for the 800s: 3:30, 3:30, 3:25, 3:25, 3:20, 3:20. Core/lumbar stabilization exercises. I am pleased with how well my leg is doing. There has not been any pain and/or discomfort while running, walking, hopping, etc. for a couple of weeks now. Still is tender when I press and prod right on the exact tiny spot where the SF was though. I need to stop doing that. But I get so stinkin' curious!!!! ;) Haven't found my mountain bike yet, and still can't believe how expensive some of them are. I keep waiting for a killer deal to present itself, but I am thinking I may just have to bite the bullet and settle for a fair deal and customer service with a smile! :)

| 12 TM miles, AP 8:04 Usually I don't mind the TM, the gym was crowded giving me plenty of opportunity to people watch, but for some reason it was more boring than normal. Oh well. 800 m swim. One of the best things about running at the gym is being able to swim right after. Just took it nice and easy ... felt heavenly! :) |

1 mile swim I seem to go through periods when I find it difficult to feel spiritual on Sundays. I know that this may sound counter intuitive to many of you but in an attempt to remedy that I went to the pool.

| 13 miles, AP 8:22 Did the first three miles really slowly because they were playing the original Rocky in the cinema room and I wanted to watch one of my favorite film make out scenes ... so I just puttered along at a slow pace so that I could concentrate on the making out'ness!!! ;) Then I went into the main gym and begin to increase the speed each mile. That wasn't nearly as fun ... but the cinema room was blasted hot today. Dang! Was going to swim but was just too tired. |

Not really sure how I should translate mountain biking miles into cross training miles. I'll need to figure out a better way of doing this because I definitely have to work harder than I do on the upright bikes at the gym or on a road bike. Anyway ... Roughly 10 MTB miles on my new bike -- which I love! This was my first time riding in clips ... wow!! I took three spills but only one of them drew blood. :) The spills were as follows: once trying to jump a log and twice during a super steep but short ascent (when I failed to down shift enough). With my feet clipped in I would be sliding back before I could get them loose ... then WHAM ... on the ground! (Ry was a saint not to laugh ... seeing I have been talking trash.) I kept giving it a go until I figured out what in the world I was doing. I have *a lot* of work ahead of me before the XTERRA. But other than the bitter cold ... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! :) :) :)

| Christmas Tri with Annie and Rylee!!!!! :) :) :) Annie and I did the Olympic distance, Rylee did her own version of a sprint. :) :) :) We did everything in the correct order today, but used the spin bikes instead of the uprights. Since the spin bikes don't keep track of mileage we decided to go for time 1:15:00. The problem with this is that I am certain that I did not push as hard as I would have if I were going for mileage. Oh well ... still SUPER fun!!! 1.5K swim: 34:xx Spin bike: 1:15:xx 10K run: 48:32 My transitions were slow ... but I was having a ton of fun!!!! :) :) :) Thank you again Annie and Rylee!!!!! :) :) :) Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!! :) :) :) |

| 1 warm up mile and then 9 with AP 8:06. Felt like garbage this morning. Trying to figure out why. Here are the possible reasons: 1. I am getting sick (I have a headache and felt "cloudy" and a bit nauseated throughout the run -- kinda stupid that I not only kept going but that I tried to push myself.). 2. I have been eating EXTREMELY POORLY since finals. I keep telling myself that I am on break and that I will get back to my good eating habits on January 1st. I have decided that I cannot wait ... getting back to healthy foods today. 3. The mountain biking is taking more of a toll on me than I expected. My legs have felt heavy and tired. 4. The Christmas tri took more out of me than I thought and I am still recovering. :) Really hoping it is #4!!!! :) Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :) |

75 minutes mtb'ing with Ry. :) SO SO SO much fun!!! I think the mountain bike purchase was one of the best purchases Ry and I have ever made. I LOVE mountain biking!!! Remarkably, I did not fall one single time!!! I got my flu shot today, but I am fairly certain that I was injected with a magical "anti-falling mad mountain biking skillz" elixir instead (and for a mere 20 bucks)!! Ry had two wipe-outs! He should have been injected! (Of course he takes far more risks than I do so would have needed a much higher potency, probably 40 bucks worth.) Sure enough we hit the spots where I usually fall 5 or 6 times today. No problems! I am pretty sure that I have moved up one notch on the awesomeness meter!!! ;) .71 miles running on my TM (making it possible for me to hit exactly 1800 running miles for the year after the 10K I will run as part of tomorrow's tri). :)
