Today was a bit rough for me. I just wasn't feeling the treadmill at all. I only did 2.75 miles. I then did 8 miles on the recumbent bike. I thought that was a good comprimise. Plus I did weights today. A full body circut was on the schedule. It went well. I am going to have increase the weight on 6 different exercises next week.
I did look at my training schedule and talked with Mike. On my rest days or cross training days, I'm only doing a mile of running so I don't get reinjured. I want to stay on schedule, but meet this challenge.
My next goal race is the Chocolate Race 10k on Mother's Day. In between now and then I have a 5k race on Saturday, a 5k on Good Friday, a 5k race with James at the beginning of April,and the Toronto Yonge Street 10k on the 21st of April. Then I run the Chocolate Race. I'm running more 10Ks this year so I really don't want to be injured at all.
Off to enjoy the rest of the day!!!!!

Hump Day!
What I thought was going to be an icky day has started becoming a pretty good day. I got up at 2:45 thinking I was late for practice. When I realized I could sleep for another hour it was hard for me to fall back asleep. I had just gotten back into a good sleep when my alarm went off. I was not a happy person, but I got up.
Luckily I had gotten James' lunch and the casserole for dinner made up last night. I was moving in slow motion this morning. I left and got 2 cups of coffee and a protein bar for breakfast. I needed all the help I could get.
I had to supervise the weight room for 5 of the University swimmers. It was all I could do to stay awake. I came down to the office at 6:30 and got some emails answered. Then I got to have fun!
I went to ride the recumbent bike. I got my book and started pedaling. I rode for 40 minutes and went 10.11 miles! A new record for me! I didn't even realize how long it had been until it beeped to let me know it was in the cool down mode. I feel great!!!!!!!
I have one more workout on Friday and my race on Saturday. Next week I will ride Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday because we have to go to Team Champs on Thursday. That means a 5 hour bus ride north. I will see if I can get some sort of workout in on one or two of the days we are up there. I may be able to on at least one day.
Now I have to ton of stuff to get done here in the office. Of course some of it has to be done on a program that seems to be not working at the moment, but oh well, I'll make due.
I'm just feel so good right now!!!!!!!!
