I haven't given up

I went swimming on Tuesday. I did 3 groups of 8 lengths. I didn't even feel that tired after word. And then I had another great workout today. I biked for 20 minutes and then I ran 20. I really feel like I'll be able to do my 5K next saturday.

Half a Tri

Today I decided to do half a Triathlon. The swim went better than I thought. 16 lengths and I wasn't even that tired. I had to do a couple back strokes but overall it went really well. I didn't stop once and I only touched the bottom (on my turn around) a couple of times. Biking went well as always. Good timing. Then I hit the run. WOW! I couldn't even do the full 1.5 miles. Which is weak cause it wasn't even 15 minutes which is usually what I do. I had to walk the end of it. The heart burn was so terrible and my legs were just jello. That's like the first time my mind has lost to my body when I really wanted something. I wanted to finish it so bad but just couldn't. Like asking a Coach to take you out of the game. What a shame.

Day 44 and 43

Wow, I just had the best swim. I made sure I did five lengths without stopping to rest in the middle and I am pooped! I had to do one length in back or breast stroke towards the end. But it felt good to go so strong. And on my last length (20th) I went as hard as I could. What a break through!

Yesterday I swam and biked. I swam next to this girl that went so fast and never stopped to catch her breathe. She's the one who inspired me to not stop between lengths. I really have to nip it in the butt and get ready for this thing.

Day 46

Today I biked my usual 12.4 and then ran on the elliptical runner. Those things are so slow. I ran for 20 minutes and didn't even do a full 3/4 mile. Weak sauce. I swear the new ones have a shorter stride too. I use to feel like I was really running at USU, but now I don't even feel a jog, more like a speed walk.

Day 47, Almost there

Today I ran 15 minutes and it was a pain. Which is to bad because I have to run 20 minutes on Thursday. I also swam my 20 lengths. And now I'm going to go get some cookies from the basement. I am such an oink. How do I stop?

Ran 15 mins, Swam 20 lengths

And continued to eat junk food

Day 50, Slow Poke

Today I only biked half my miles. I was just so exhausted. I don't know if it's because of yesterday or because I didn't get to sleep until 4am. But I wanted to reserve some of my strength for swimming. Which I did 15 lengths. The pool was so gross. There were so many dead gnats. Hope it's cleaned out by tomorrow.
