Training Update......

Monday

I planned to do my brick session this morning and it was a lovely day for it too. I headed out on my bike and then went straight out for a run when I got back. I did a longer loop today so I was definately pooped once I finished. I think I felt guilty from the white chocolate easter egg and ice cream that I tucked into last night so I wanted to do a little extra today:-)

Tuesday

After work I went to the track and I was all on my own so had the track to myself. I ran x 4 repeats of 1 km with 1 minute rest between each set. The first one felt pretty tough but as I mentally got into the session I felt more intune.

My buddy Vikki invited me to her personal training session that she has at her house so I went along for the circuit this evening. Vikki and I were the only girls with the boys. I really enjoyed the session tonight. I think I may feel a bit achy in the morning.

 

Wednesday

 

Grainne and I met at The Grove and went for a 10km run together. It was a lovely day for a run this morning. After my run I went and played tennis with my client Sue. When I was driving home I was very tempted to just drive passed Sports Space but I didn't and managed a swim which I really enjoyed. It makes such a difference when there are not alot of people,  I was able to put my head down and get some laps in so I am happy that I didn't drive past:-)

 

Thursday

 

Rest day - but I did do run club. We did a lovely run along the canal.

 

Friday

 

My training buddy is back:-)))) We met early for our long run this morning. The weather was not great but we still headed off. Melinda had a new route planned for us to do which was great because it can get boring doing the same routes. I have to say it was rather hilly at times!! We did take the wrong turning but we still made it to our destination most importantly. We completed a good 14km run together and was good to catch up. When I got home I made my chocolate shake straight away. My buddy Justin got me Hersheys chocolate - so I couldn't wait to have it. I added some frozen fruit too and it was delicious. Thanks buddy:-))

Recovery shake - yum:-)

 

Saturday

Oh crap indeed!!!! I am definately getting very nervous but excited too.

 

I had planned to go out on the bike this morning but when I woke up it was raining so decided to go and do double spin with Soph.  I managed double spin and a few weights afterwards with my buddy Donna. I didn't feel great afterwards I have to be honest, I had such a headache but I think I was just  too hot, therefore I did not enjoy it as much as I normally do.

 

Sunday

 

I had planned to do a long bike ride today but I was just feeling too tired so I stayed in bed most of the morning/afternoon. I did manage to get up and go to Julie mum's for an awesome roast dinner and she made my favourite - crumble:-)
