thursday - week 10, day 4

9-15-11

goal: bike 8 miles + P90X back and biceps + 45 min swim

Waking up this morning was extremely hard. My 10 mile run yesterday did me in, that's for sure! I took a 2 hour nap yesterday to compensate for my anticipated sleepiness this morning. I fought the urge to go to back to bed. I NEEDED TO BIKE TODAY. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It's been 2.5 weeks since I've gotten on my bike. Shame on me. I have a triathlon coming up in 2.5 weeks. I need to train. I need more speed.  There is an incentive this tri: if we beat our Danskin time from June, then we will be given a $12 discount off next years entry form...incentive enough!!! So, I got on my bike today and only rode 8.17 miles. I was surprised that I matched my time from about a month ago. Not too shabby, Annah:) Still a ways more to go.

I quickly transitioned after biking to P90X back and biceps. I was still sore from yesterday's chest/shoulder/tricep workout, but still managed to do very well. All those pull ups and bicep curls are already starting to pay off:):):)

Before picking up Xia. I got a swim in.

I have an 8 mile run scheduled for tomorrow. And due to ACL music festival this wkend, that will be my last wkout of the week. I've fought hard to cram my workouts all in this week without killing myself. I must say, though, I'm nearly dead!! LOL!

accomplished: 8.17m ride - 38:05 / 12.9 pace + P90X back and biceps + swim
