Day 19 of M.T.
so today is a rest day… I was supposed to swim for an hour with coach Judy… but my shoulder isnt going to let that happen today. I went in for lap swim and loosened her up a bit and that is good… felt okay. But today… today is for resting. even more so than my normal rest day.
For on Sunday day 21 of M.T. I will be doing a triathlon. I knew this was coming. OBVIOUSLY I PAYED FOR IT! But I had to change my Marathon training schedule because of it. That truly isn’t too hard to do. But I did a long run on Tuesday instead of on Saturday. That way I could sit around and eat spaghetti all day. YEAH FOR CARBS! The short 3 mile run is at the end of the tri. : ) that makes me happy. By the time I get to it I will be good and warmed up. : ) : )
this one I feel like I am in better shape for the running. I know I have the swim and bike in the bag. But I really haven’t been on my bike enough to feel super CONFADENT about it. Every time I have been out recently it has been to run. It makes me giggle just to read that sentence. I am not much of a runner and to read that I am NOT on my fast bike to be on my slow feet…. well that makes me Laugh in the wind hysterically.
I am seeded for this tri. That takes me back a bit as well. Not that I haven’t been trying for that for 3 years. Just that I have never accomplished it. I believe that it is mainly because it is so small. I figure that all the faster swimmer are up in doing the tri in Wasilla. And because of that, they were stuck with me. : )
So what are you all doing this weekend? If you are close enough and you are thinking about it. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU OUT THERE…. cheering all of us on. There are 101 triathletes out there doing this tri. There are aprox 30 kids. And we would all love to have more cow bells and cheering faces. When one person goes by walking with grimaces on their faces from the pain that they are putting their body through. What you tell them at that moment will be the ONE thing that keeps them going. : ) We need more of you out there giving those words of encouragement.
So for now I close but I will be back. More than likely tomorrow. I can’t train… so I will have nothing else I can do but write to tell you how wonderful it is to be on a rest day ….
Marathon Momma OUT!
