Exciting News!

Guilty guilty guilty....I know I have written and thats all I am saying

Lots of exciting news outside of Triathlon first....We bought our first house! And we move in on Wednesday! Its in Cranston and its so perfect! Our condo is packed high with boxes and the moving van is booked we are now just patiently waiting for Wednesday!!!!

We also put a deposit on a puppy! Its a german shepherd puppy and the breeder is out past olds. We went to visit her a few weekends ago and she is just so amazing. The website is myguardianangelshepherds.com and there are tons of pictures on there. The puppies are due this week so we are waiting to hear now! We can go pick ours up in 8weeks so the countdown for that is on too!

Phils family is coming out for Easter this year, so in a week and a half...so we have to move quick, unpack quick and paint quick quick quick. But it will be nice to be able to show it off to them and we are all going to try to get out to the mountains for some skiing while they are here! Should be fun!

As for training....I got a new bike...a new Trek mountain bike, well actually I got it about two months ago, but its awesome and I love it so much. We had a week where it was super nice here and I was out on rides every night! So different riding outside, I am so thankfull I got the chance to.....unfortunately it snowed again and there is more coming so the bike has been packed to move. I am feeling way more confident on the bike though and cant wait to get out again!

I also signed up for a Triathlon Course at the YMCA. Since we are moving to a different area of the city I have to change pools anyways, and the pool at the Y is about the same price but it has way better hours!!! So I was signing up and saw this Triathlon course, its mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and is swim, bike and runs in that order....Today was my first swim day and oh my gosh! I am hurting pretty bad here but it was just what I wanted. Lots of drills and I really had to push myself. I have never swam that hard before!! I cant wait to see what the biking brings on Wednesday! The class is 6-7am so it means I have to work longer days but I think it will help my training HUGE!

Yoga at lunch is still going really well. I love it more each time I go and have started practicing atleast 20-30 mins a day on my own. This week my plan is to learn how to do headstands! Our session ends next week so I am going to sign up for one more. Mondays just work out so well and I think after this mornings swimming class some stretching would be good! I bought a yogitoes mat for my mat this weekend so today I am going to test it out. Basically its a non slip pad you put on top of your mat so you dont slide all over like I usually do!

Other than all that I have just been super busy with work and school and wedding planning! Sometimes I wonder how I can fit it all in but I guess its all working some how!

This weeks training:
Monday - Morning Tri Swim, Yoga at lunch, Bike 80 mins (easy spin)
Tuesday - Strength, Run (30 min intervals), Swim drills
Wednesday - Morning Tri Bike, moving
Thursday - Day off to Paint the new house, yoga breaks throughout, Swim drills at 5:30am
Friday - Morning Tri Run, moving
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Run (60 mins steady run)

I am willing to be flexible this week as we are moving and that is definitely the priority this week, but here is hoping I can get it all in!

Have a great week!!!!
