STILL Training for Ironman

Yup. Still training. Hence, the reason there has been NO BLOGGING for several months.  People, Ironman training takes. up. all. of. my. time. 

Honestly, it goes against everything that is "normally" me.  

1. I have NEVER stuck with something for a long time. 
2. I get bored VERY quickly, even with things that really  interest me, and I usually have to move-on to a new thing. 
3.That goes for working out too. In the past I have never enjoyed doing ONE type of workout, never mind doing that ONE kind of workout for extended hours at a time!!! B-O-R-I-N-G!!
4. Usually if it takes me away from my family.....not gonna do it. 
5. If it takes up too much of my time.....it has always been "too much"!

However, I enjoy this sport. I enjoy it a lot! Maybe it's because it's THREE sports rolled into one  (helping me not get too bored), or maybe it's the fact that I am doing something that I NEVER DREAMED possible, or maybe I just finally put on my "big girl"pants and sucked it up. All I know is that I DO enjoy it. :)

And since I enjoy it, I am getting better at it. I can swim, bike, and run much faster! 

Me, getting ready to spin!

Swim: 77 laps - 48 minutes
Bike: 56 miles - 3hrs, 20 min
Run: 13.1 - 2hrs, 19 min

So....I am not the fastest person around....but I am doing great for ME! 

My training has pretty much looked like this for the past 3 months:

Monday: REST
Tuesday: bike - 1.5 hours (sometimes swim for 45 min) - interval
Wednesday: Bike 1 hour, run 30 min - interval
Thursday: Spin class - 1 hour, run 30 min -or -sometimes swim 30 min
Friday: rest,  - or run 1 hour, - or swim 1 hour, -(or both) - interval
Saturday: looooong bike ride (with small run)
Sunday: looooong run (with small bike)

COME ON MAY 17th!!!! I am ready to cross the IRONMAN finish line!!!!!
