It's a good pain!

This weekend was awesome! What a fun time!

Mon: 4 mile easy run with a friend
Tues: Torture Clinic (clocked just under 30 miles: rollers then trainer)
Wed: Day off
Thurs: Didn't make it to core class, but Torture clinic (again about 29 miles: Trainer, then Erg bike)
Fri: Day off
Sat: Started feeling worn down (went out Thursday night late) and decided the best thing was to skip the 10 miler and rest the body. Did get a massage and found about 8 knots (I think they should be named!)
Sun: FUN DAY! Rode 39 miles on PCH with rolling hills and one Newport Coast hill. Then ran a brick for 20 minutes. After a celebratory bagel breakfast with Patrick, I had my Core class... Carl killed us with a "Crossfit" session: 1/4 mile on the treadmill, 50 jumping pull ups, 30 situps, 30 kettle bell swings, 20 bench jumps. Then repeat four times at the fastest time you can do.

I'm sore today, but it was worth it and it's the GOOD pain. Now I want to focus on taking care of my body this week. With Sunday's hard workouts, I took an easy 3.5 mile run today. Stretched extra good.

GOAL this week:
Stretch
Roll out legs/feet for the knots
Ice
Mon: run
Tues: core training, run, Torture Clinic
Wed: Day off
Thurs: Core training, run, Torture Clinic
Fri: Yoga, run
Sat: Bike fit, run short
Sun: Pacific Shoreline 1/2 Marathon, Bike (hope to get at least 20 miles in), Core Training

I've lost a pound this week. YEAH! I watched the "What it takes" DVD Saturday night and found out a Champion Ironman Athlete (like Peter Reid) eat 42 meals a week. No wonder I "die" each night... I'm not taking in enough calories.

GOAL: Lose 8 lbs total by March.
