Week Two of training for the Legend 70 went great! Since Week One was a little weak-sauce, I aimed for perfection for week two. I stuck to my eating, relaxing and training plans to a "T". Monday - Took a 2.5 mile walk on the treadmill while watching The Walking Dead, stretch and foam rolled. I did 30 minutes of yoga after work and let myself have some time to relax and decompress. Tuesday - Jumped out of bed for a 45 minute run and a 20 minute strength routine. Still was struggling a little bit with tight chestedness from last week, but we got through it. Tuesday PM - went to the pool for a 45 minute swim. My friend who just had bariatric surgery went with me and did her pool laps, too. I am really proud of her! Wednesday - woke up a bit tired from heavy training the day before, but put my best effort into a 45 minute bike and 15 minute run. If you do them one right after the other it's called a "brick." Thursday - A tired 45 minute bike r
Another beautiful Spring day in Nebraska, another year running the Lincoln National Guard Marathon and Half Marathon! David and I rode our bikes to the start of the race, as we do each year. Since they recently moved the start line, to accommodate more runners, we need to change where we rack our bikes! The weather on the Saturday before the race was terrible! Our 11yo daughter, Alahnnah, ran the KFRX Mayor's Run and it was miserable. It was about 35 degrees with 20mph winds and rain. We had discouraged the girls from participating - but when a kid tells you "Mom, we signed up for it, we need to do it" - you have to do it. Miss A giving me "the look" Thankfully, Sunday was a little better. The temps were hovering around 40 and there was no rain. The wind had died down a bit, but it was still chilly! I dressed in a t-shirt and a jacket when last year I ran in a tank top! When we got to the race, we lined up waaaay in the back near the 5:15 pace
Sunday September 15th was my one and only Triathlon for the season. An Olympic distance, Last Blast was out at the Branched Oak Reservoir and had about 76 participants in that distance and another 35 in the Super Sprint. An added 15 people rounded out the day competing as 3 man teams. I had trained with my husband, using a free, 12 week plan from Garmin , and added my own strength training plan. David and I both felt that our fitness increased and we were challenged but not impossibly overwhelmed by the Intermediate plan. Unfortunately, I was very sick the two days prior and the day of the race. I was more sad to miss the experience with my husband than to miss the raceitself. :( David was nice enough to write up a race report for the blog. Here it is, my husband David guest posting today and giving us his take on the Last Blast Lincoln Y Tri! Last Blast Olympic Triathlon Well, perhaps I should call this First Blast as this was actually my very first organized tr
