Ironman Training - Week 11

August 11-18, 2013

Week 11

This week was pretty good. I have been trying to wake up earlier and earlier, so I was a bit sleepy, making it harder to choose to workout instead of napping. I feel like I am beginning to get bored with the training. I need a partner or a change of pace, somehow. The monotony of the schedule is boring me, I think. It is too much of the same thing, day after day. But....I want to cross the finish line too bad to let it stop me!


Monday: Rest day

Tuesday: Ran 5 miles - 54 minutes. Then swam 20 laps in 14 minutes. (Masters class canceled)

Wednesday: Rest day....ugh

Thursday: Biked 1 hour. Then masters swim. Technique is better, also swam 1,200 meters!

Friday: Ran 3.5 miles (instead of 8) because the gym shut down after lights went out from bad weather

Saturday: TRIED to bike at home....got in 1 hour....the baby didn't feel well and cried too much

Sunday: Ran 10 miles!!!!! That is the farthest I have EVER ran in my life!!!!!


Things I Learned:

1. I need to change up my workouts.......hmmm???
2. I am getting faster and my endurance is getting better!!!!
3. Get your kids to clean while they wait for you to finish working out. Two birds - one stone.
