Everything was slow today, my trip to the gym was slow, it seemed to take forever. I was slow in the locker room getting in to my swim suit, when I finally got into the pool I was slow, the trip back to the office was slow; it was just one of those days. I am looking forward to tomorrow's workout, hopefully I won't be slow!
Quick note on heart rate training: even though I was slow I was in zone 2 so I know that I had an effective workout, fabulous!

Tired and hungry
That is no way to get through a workout! I stayed up way too late last night because I went for a bike ride way too late and then I did not sleep well; all of these factors really made the workout today very tough! It actually isn't anywhere near as bad as I am making it sound but those 7.5 minutes in zone 4 felt pretty bad. I was so excited to have dinner after that!
Speaking of dinner, we had a fabulous dinner with our friends tonight, I feel so fortunate to have them in my life!

Snow Day Workout!
It was one of those days when everything took twice as long to do as I expected. I was so happy that I knew that my workout would only take 60 minutes, this was nice since I didn't even make it to the treadmill until 8:35 PM! Anyway, I had to really push myself because I had a terrible stomachache, but I made it through, it was painful and I am so thankful for heart rate training!
I cannot believe that I am in week 9 of training, reality is creeping up rather quickly!

Training Days 13 & 14
Wow, I am loving this INSPIRED...that is what I am! I cannot believe that things are going along so well. Yesterday morning I got up at 6:00 and walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes, the heart rate monitor is fantastic for early morning workouts because I didn't have to work too hard to be training in zone 2!
Today I did 30 minutes on the bike and 15 minutes of running, I actually didn't want to stop running but I did need to get back to work and I wanted to stick with the program. My very favorite part of the workout today was that I ran for 13 of the 15 minutes, the first 2 minutes were spent acclimating my legs and then I was able to run and keep my HR in zone 2, usually I would be way too tired at that point, it is very encouraging to see results.
So I was at the rec center pedaling and I decide that I want to try to keep up with the guy next to me. I think after a while he caught on to me and I felt like a nut, not quite as big of a nut as the Larry Craig incident at Red Robin but a nut all the same :)
