Yup...still snowing!

I thought I had posted more recently than that, but not much has changed. It got hot again and then freezing again...we have had atleast 3 huge dumps of snow and our lawn seems to change from green to white daily now!! Why cant it be summer yet??

Well today is April 27th....98 days until my ironman, 347 days until the wedding! Im way more nervous about the ironman....infact my first triathlon is less than a month a way and I do not feel ready at all.

I dont know what it is, I have a plan and cannot stick to it!

This weekend I experienced extreme failure and humiliation and I am humbled for sure! I had my 12k run in Canmore with the girls...I actually thought I could do it...I couldnt...I did 3 and died. I could give you the excuse that I had been sick all week and home from work, and that I was still having the runs and had gone 6 times before the race, but really, even if I had been ok, I dont think I would have been able to do it! Now I am really scared...I have a half marathon and lots of triathlons coming up really soon and there is no way I am ready! Same with swimming!! I can only swim 50m continuously! How the hell am I supposed to swim 2k!??! Ok, I am really freaking out!!!

So the Canmore run was hard....it was probably 75% uphill! 2 loops of 6k each. And we are not talking a gradual uphill...it was steep and LONG. It was a brutal race! And I have so much respect for May and Tiffany for managing it! I need to step up my game...I am so slow and need to get my distances in. Enough slacking off, time to buckle down and harden up.

I tried again to do the spinervals dvd yesterday but I was still in pain from the run so I managed 20 minutes and then biked for a bit more just working on one legged drills and stuff. Then I tried to go for a quick run off the bike and it was so hard!! I just went around the block and I had to stop before even making it back to the house. I am so disspointed in my fitness level!

This morning I was up at 4:45 and biked in the basement. I only had time for 25mins, but I made it count and worked up a sweat, I did some intervals and some one legged drills. At lunch today I had yoga so I was able to stretch my sore muscles out a bit. Tonight I am going swimming right after work. I want to work on a few things and knew I wouldnt be able to in class so I am going on my own to get it worked out. Then after dinner I have to do 30 min interval run. I am going to time myself and do 30 secs all out and then 1 min rests. I need to get my speed up!

No more sissy ass training....Its time to harden up and get some results. Im also planning a training plan diet, lets get this going!!!

Oh and im selling my trek road bike and looking at getting a new one.

Till next time!
