vivalasvegans Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Maybe not so much. I got all ready to go and then just couldn't do it. Took Tuesday's rest day on Monday. 5 days straight, woulda liked to go 6, but it turned out it was a good decision because of scheduling stuff later in the afternoon. Ate like a pig, felt way overfed.

vivalasvegans Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Friday:I really wish the gym would do something about their temperature control issues. It was stupid hot. It was a pretty fun run though, especially when I almost killed myself trying to plug my earbuds into the tv thing while running at top speed. No weights, had to get into the pool before a class started in there, plus my back was still a little sore. My legs started seriously cramping up during the last 5-10 mins of my swim, not sure what that was about, prob electrolytes. I felt completely wiped for the rest of the day. Rode home not so fast for a change, spent as much time as i could on the flats going hands free.

vivalasvegans Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Wednesday:Biking was strong. I almost got sideswiped by a bus but remained unspooked. This summer, I might be learning courage. I was a little irritated, so i went home the super hilly way.Running surprised me. I thought I would go faster, especially since i took a couple puffs of inhaler. I swam fast... maybe cuz the water was so cold? I planned on going longer, but i rly had to get out and make cheesecake.Happy that I could do a set of skullcrushers at 45#. It's more about courage than strength.
