Summer Challenge Day 14 and 15

I know slack on the posting lately...it was late when I got settled last night after church and really yesterday was a good day...only workout time was push mowing grass, eating was soso...had some blueberry pie after church! It was yummy...and then it was back to watching it today!

I am struggling a little bit right now, dealing with some family stuff and it is making it a little hard to focus, however I did workout hard and strong today...The day started with a kick butt zumba class...I think someone went and got some inspiration last week and unloaded a ton of it on us this morning...but hey it was a zumba party and it was fun and a great workout...after zumba I hit the gym for a full body weight workout...this is new for me. Normally I break weights into three day splits...but since I am seriously looking a triathlon in September, I am shifting to tri training and recommendations are for a full body workout 3x a week...so we will give this a try...if nothing else it keeps my body guessing...instead of weight training on the other days, it will be stretching days and core work.....

I posted a statement today that said, "It is a dream until you write it down, then it is goal." It is time to stop dreaming about what I could do and do it! I know I can complete a tri and currently that has become my dream...today it becomes a goal!

I am working on a training shedule that gives, 3 days running, 3 biking and 3 swim workouts...obviously there will be more than one workout a day...I plan to lift or stretch on alternating days and for now I will continue with a class a day (Hey these are just pure fun to me,a s well as a good workout, but I love the classes!)...later that may have to adjust...time will tell...

Today I finished the day with a 15 mile bike ride! Oh yeah! I am really doing this and I feel amazing!...I think I am ready for this training because I have gotten the point that I can listen to my body and I will rest if I need to, I will eat more if I need to, I will slow down if I need to!

I enjoyed trying a Lara bar today...pretty good stuff..it was a chocolate brownie...pretty good! Something I would eat again for sure!

I also had a blast swimming underwater with my 5 year old today...she is getting really good! My 14 year old is still running intervals!

Okay off I go...need to get a hot bath and settle down...part of the equation has got to be rest!

Night night everyone!
