I did it!!

Last night I got in both my bike and swim workouts! I also cooked all my meals for the rest of the week so I dont have to waste time preparing them!

The bike was hard, I tried doing the one legged drills, I can make it about 20seconds before my leg gives out on me....who would have guessed it was so hard! I kept a pretty good pace for the rest of the ride, I was pouring sweat so hopefully that was good! I need to get myself a cadence monitor for my bike so I can see what I am doing.

This was my first time going alone to the pool so I was really nervous, but I did it, I swam for 45 minutes. There were really rude people in the pool during the LANE SWIM who were splashing and horsing around in the MIDDLE of the lanes!! So frustrating...the guards didnt say anything, finally after being kicked in the head, an old lady yelled at them, unfortunately it just made things worse...so I gave up trying to swim the full 25m and just swam out to them and back...about half way. The good news is I practiced the front crawl lots! I can so that distance now, not well.... but ill work on it!

I was so tired when I got home I tried as quick as I could to get to bed but after watching the end of the Flames game (WOOHOO We won!) and saying goodnight to Phil it was already 10:45! I slept like a rock though! It was really hard getting up early this morning for swimming.

BUT I DID! although I did press snooze twice and started my swimming about 15mins late, I made it! I went to the Acadia pool, it was busy for 5:30! Got my flutter board and off I went blowing bubbles. Im so hardcore :) I also spent time under the water, just looking around, hanging out, working on getting more comfortable! What a difference from 4 weeks ago!

I made it to work by 6:30 too, so that worked well....I still have to leave by 3:30 today so I can make it to class tonight! I am going to do my 10 minute bike when I get home and then this chica needs a NAP! I dont have to leave until 6:15 so that should give me lots of time to eat, nap, and do my homework.

Plan on doing my swim tomorrow morning as well, frees up more time tomorrow night, oh and Kathy is meeting me in Fish Creek to do the run with me! YIPPEE!! A training buddy!
