Team LEPRECHAUN: Stick to the plan (Page 3)

Got a run in yesterday, and a swim in today. Sat down and took a good look at the goals and time left in the month--it will be tight but I don't see any reason why I won't be able to finish off my goals. Hopfully even with a day to spare.

Keep it up, my Lucky Little Leprechauns!

Looking good everyone!

Got a lunchtime 10k run in today. 83 degrees out this afternoon.  Going to have to start carrying water on the runs soon. Have fuel belt but haven't used it yet. 

Moving a few training days around this week due to scheduling and family. 

Hi Guys,

Took yesterday off.  Had to recover from a big workout on Wednesday.  Anyway, gotta get a run in tonight.  I have some miles to make up. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend, supposed to work day shift tomorrow, maybe a swim when I get done, it is going to be tough to get the swim in.

I wimped out Sunday knowing that I had a rest day Monday to swap with.

Had a good strength training session on Saturday while my son was taking his Karate lessons. Did high rep mid weights squats for the first time in months.  Well, Sunday morning my legs felt it. I actually like when the quads are that sore, but it was too awkward to run. That plus the 40mph+ gusting winds with the desert dust and rain alternating blowing convinced me to take the day off and run today instead. 

Got 10.5 miles in on a long lunch session (1:30 per plan). 

1 hr bike and 1500m swim in yesterday per plan.  Swim was enjoyable as it was the shortest I've done in a while.

Going to pick up a pair of Vanquisher goggles today to try a few times before next weekends race. 

short bike ride on the trainer. I ran out of time, literally. Missed today's run since the little guy has a cold and I can't take him to the gym daycare like that. 

For the month: looks like I am behind on everything, but I think it's still salvageable.

swim: two more swims should get me to 100%

run: barring any more kids with colds, etc I should get the milage done

bike: maybe I will have to do a small ride almost every day. I have procrastinated way too much on this.

I jsut have to vent a little...

 OK, so I got my measurements last night from one of the gym trainers.  She compiled them together for me and my results were poor.  Seriously, her email actually said "Overall Rating - Poor" 

Now really, I beg to differ.  I have been busting my A** since september, have set goal and achieved them (like 30 mile runs in a month, 80 mile bikes in a month).  I know that for some, that's not a lot, but it's certainly not POOR. 

I know people out there way thinner than me, that certainly cannot do the things that I've done.  So I am taking this with a grain of salt.  Honestly, when I saw my hip measurement, I about fell out of my chair, then went and got my measuring tape and measured myself.  I was 4 inches different from her.  Even with her measurement, I couldn't find where she could've gotten that number.  Oh, well. 

Anyway, I guess there's nothing to do but get better.  So, now I'm back to logging everything that goes into my mouth.  Should've been doing that all along, but the results certainly were an incentive.

yeah, the ole measurements. How do your clothes feel? That is my main measurement! Skinny clothes/ fat clothes.  It never ends watching what you put in your mouth...

But your right you have accomplished a lot so I think your excellent keep up the great work, follow your goals you will be smilling when you cross the finish line.

2000m swim in today, so just need the final strength workouts to meet my goals for the month.

Skipped the bike today as I took a nasty slapshot to the leg between the pads last night at hockey.  Tough to walk on this morning, but getting better already. The good part was that my quad was so swelled up last night it looked like I had a monster cycling leg
