Wow I’m really quite tired
So I did Swim/run/swim/run on tuesday. Wednesday I ran 4 miles. It did not go super well. To start with my garmin died mid run. Luckily it stopped working at mile 2.6 in a 4 mile run. It was an out and back. So to do the correct distance, all I had to do was …
Wicked Wednesday
Not great. Not great at all. My issues started on Tuesday night. I went to Taco Tuesday! At Tijuana Flats. It’s a funky Florida place, kind of a “chain” in our area. on Tuesday, 2 tacos and a drink 4.99. Can’t beat that. I had chicken tacos and they were lovely. Sadly…. At about 3 …
Marathon Training Day 58
on the plan was a 20 minute cycle and a one mile run. I nixed the one mile run. The night before, I found myself waking up every 2-3 hours, and going back to sleep almost immediately…which is kind of one of the signs of overtraining. It more likely is a sign of JOB STRESS! …
Marathon Day 25
The stars aligned for me today at least in the workout area. On the workout plan was Swim 1 hr 15 mins or cycle 1 hr and 15 mins. Well, the gym was closed for renovations AGAIN. But the pool was left open, so I swam for an hour and 16 minutes, very slowly. I …

I did eventually get some sleep but it wasn’t as much as I would have liked. So Thursday, I kind of drifted …
MTD 6
ooph. Today was a day full of craziness at work. I feel really good about work lately. My only problem has been having to deal with a very irate surgeon and wanting him to you know, follow Hospital policy. Lucky me, I got support from Admin on it. 🙂 So today was a Miserable Loathsome …
And things just got REALLY really real
This was the first week of full on training after being ill. It was GREAT. It involved a wee bit more swimming than I would have liked. I did not look like Mr cool hedgehog here. Work got crazy, as it has a tendency to do these days, so I also ended up doing …
Pool day, suddenly not so easy.
WHEW! Today was weights and swim 40 mins. So I got up nice and early and did a bang up job on the weights. I was squatting, and lunging, and calf raising, and Ham string curling with the best of them. In fact, I was actually sweating and catching my breath a bit, which is …
