I spent the day acting like the ironman in training that I am. I am training really hard for the next two weeks so that I am able to taper after that and do fantastically in the Melbourne Marathon on October 14th. I left the house at noon. I ran 8miles to my friend Angela's house, then we went on a 9km run(she's training for a 14Km race at the beginning of November), after we finished I ran home. I went a slightly less efficient way and arrived back at my door having run 20miles. I quickly grabbed my water bottle and my bike(an helmet) and met my friend Steph for a ride around the city. She went home this weekend and got her dad's bike so she has a shinny gold bike that goes super fast. We were going to go for an hour but decided to do the city loop which is a tad longer. I got home just before 6pm. Sigh what an intense day. I felt like I went non stop but the reality is I spent a good bit of time at stop lights, navigating turns and chatting. Week 1 of official triathlon training done and I only missed 1 workout! Yay! Next week looks a little easier and I have more of a routine now which should help a bit. Pink=run, blue=swim, yellow=bike above the pen is last week, below is next week.
Aside from running and biking I also studied and grilled. I made delicious fries and a turkey burger for dinner. Since I had a big bike ride today I had my burger OTB style with pickles and peanut butter yummy. After dinner I sat down to do my pre-reading for next week and it's RUNNING!!!! I was so excited. As Kat was trying to get me to procrastinate by watching SNL skits, I was reading her a textbook about the biomechanics of running gait.
