It's only Weds.

It's only Weds and I've already worked out for about 8 hours this week. Kinda crazy, I know. But anything worth having is worth working for, right? And I can imagine it's going to feel so good, when this weight is gone.

Wondering where the exercise and time went? Here is the brief version:

Sunday: running 4.5 miles
Monday: Cycle + Running 4.5 miles
Tuesday: Body Pump + Cycle
Weds: Zumba + Cycle + Abs

I was at the gym for nearly 2.5 hours today. 2 one hour classes and 20-30 mintues of Ab work. I almost talked myself into skipping abs but then I remembered the way they look. Abs are a critical area and it's essential that I work on them so I did.
I'm planning on swimming laps tonight too, but I probably won't make it to the gym tomorrow. My great aunt passed away and I will be attending her memorial service. I suspect a lot of family will be in town and that the day will be full. I'm hoping to go to the gym early but if for some reason, I can't, I think I got enough exercise in to cover it.javascript:void(0)

My Tri is less than a month away. I'm getting more and more worried about how to pay for it all. Ahhh.. the good ol' money game. I'm hoping to book the hotel this weekend and register soon. I really want to do it but I don't want to go into debt over it either. So expensive to be active, I tell ya, so expensive. I'm not doing an event for the month of August just because I know the Tri is going to be costly. It will be worth it though.

I haven't swam in a couple weeks. We've been having major maintenance issues with our pool. It's a money pit at times. Thankfully it's up and running again now so expect to hear my swimming updates from me. :)

I noticed my blog is growing, slightly and I've got a few new readers who have commented. Welcome! I love new readers and I especially love comments. Keep them coming :) You'll notice I usually respond back to most comments. I'm one of those people who almost always has something to say. ha ha

Training Day

This morning, I got up and went to cycle. It was a good class, I pushed myself hard. When I heard the change of music come on for the cool down, I said, "That's it?" I wasn't "done". Funny how not too long ago, I was barely able to make it through a class and some days, I still feel that way. Immediately after class, I took a potty break then hit the treadmill running for 20 minutes. I started out thinking, I would just do 10 minutes as a good start for my triathlon training. After about 5 minutes I was done. Then someone came on to the treadmill next to me and needed help. We started chatting and the next thing I knew I had been running for nearly 15 minutes. At that point, I decided I would do 20 minutes and be done. Clare and I had a date to do weights at noon. It was already almost 11 and I didn't want to be too worn out. Amelia and I came left the gym, went to the store bought stuff for PB&J and 2 big bunches of bananas. She and I ate a whole bunch of bananas ourselves today. :X I guess, we could have chosen worse ;-) We had a quick lunch and then back to the gym for weights with Clare. By the time I was done, I was almost too tired to leave. After Amelia and I got Mariyn from school, we came home and napped the lounged outside by the pool. Soaking up the sun was great and relaxing. The water is still too cold for me but Mariyn swam. It was a great day!
