Rain...Mother's Day and Lanie's Birthday

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my niece, Lanie.

Thankful for the rain as we have been in drought conditions for a long time. However, my workouts kind of get messed up. Oh well, maybe it is God's way of telling me I need a day off or I need to really clean my house instead of working out or working in the yard. But I think I will go to Wal-Mart instead!

Yesterday, my bike ride was great. I rode better than I have in a long time. Dr. Eschbach is so right! I did not run as planned. I did, however, spend a wonderful afternoon with my husband. He took me out for lunch and then to the grocery store. I had a nap and worked in the yard for a long time. Then we had desert and wine with our best buds!

Finally, I think I am done tweaking my IM Louisville plan. I hope to print it today and get back on the ball tomorrow. I have moved stuff and changed stuff and tried to keep key workouts far between each other. I know I will make some minor modifications but for the most part I think it is done. I WANT TO PR AT IM LOUISVILLE so I really need to get on the ball and train where I need to be and not always follow the crowd. I need to be in the hills for my long rides and really start running more. The longest run I have planned is 3:00 hours and I hope that will be enough. I really also need to swim three days a week. Somehow, I have got to figure out how to get my third swim earlier in the week than Friday. I know I won't do it on the weekend and I do not go to work until late on Friday so I would rather do some workout at home and then work in the yard. I have 16 weeks left until the big day...

Next week is a rest week.
Monday-swim, teach one spin class (<130)
Tuesday-1 hour run <140 and 1 hour ride <130, weights and yoga
Wednesday-swim (1000 yard TT) and 3 spin classes (<130)
Thursday-1 hour ride <130 and run 30 minutes <130
Friday - off
Saturday- 2 hour ride <130
Sunday-off but may go on easy Sunday recovery ride.
