Rainy Days

Today is one of those days that you just want to sleep all day. It's currently raining and has been raining all day long, so that's going to make for a tough day in training. With the weather and working in the studio, it's going to be tough for me to get my training in today. However, Troy and I both are committed to getting it done. We'll see where it goes from here.

Today calls for 45 minutes of running and 15 minutes of swim.

A Saturday Run

I woke up this morning and looked outside to see it raining and bad weather. That immediately put a damper on the daily training plans. So I decided to relax and wait out the weather. Finally around 3:00, I got to put on my running sneakers and head out on my allotted 50 minute run. 50 minutes! I was seriously dreading that length of time but I went out to tackle it anyway. Once I was out there, I ran for 20 minutes straight and did 2 minute run intervals with 1 minute rest walks. I did that until the end of the 50 minutes because the heat and humidity was so daunting. 

Tomorrow is a 30 minute swim and 45 minute run. I'm looking forward to the swim and after today with the weather the way it was, I'm not looking forward to the run. But then again, I never do!

The above picture is a shot of where Troy and I do our swim workouts.

Can't Save It For A Rainy Day!

I woke up this morning at 5:30 to pick up my daughter for her early morning swim practice at 6:30 am. Our workout today called for a 50 minute ride and strength training. After waking up and looking outside, I realized that our scheduled 7:00 am ride was not going to happen due to rain. I was bummed. That meant that me and Troy had to adjust our daily schedule in order to somehow fit everything in. We then re-grouped and decided on a 5:00 ride out to Leiper's Fork. The weather was pleasant and I was looking forward to it, as was Troy. We set out and get to the Henpeck Market one mile from my house and Troy front crank comes loose from his bike. It just doesn't seem like it's meant for us to ride today. At any rate, I ride back to my house to get my car and we take Troy's bike to the shop to quickly get it fixed. It gets fixed and we don't have enough time to ride out to Leiper's so we took our regular Franklin route. Not the same as the one we'd hoped for, but better than nothing.

We both still haven't gotten to hit the weights in the gym so we're having to settle for push ups at home. Tomorrow is swimming and running. Should be interesting to see how we do.
