I actually registered for my race!! To be completely honest, I'm terrified. Seriously. Terrified. Everything seems very real now.
My April training schedule is by far the toughest yet. I guess that's to be expected, but it's freaking me out a little bit. I'm trying just to focus on each day, and not get carried away looking at the whole month. But I'm already stressed about an 8 mile run on Sunday. It will be my longest in a long time. I should mention, the day before the 8 mile run is a 2.5 hour bike. So my legs should be feeling great.
It's crazy how my mind works. I know I can do both of those things, but for some reason I'm scared. What is that about? I'm not going to die from running 8 miles.
On top of being a wuss about my training schedule, I've had a serious lack of motivation when it comes to swimming. Thankfully I sucked it up today and had a good swim. Maybe that will be the momentum I need.
Here's what the last 2 weeks looked like. I think I missed posting last week. I know you have all been wondering.
March 25-31
Swam-2000 yards
Biked-58.5 miles
Ran-8 miles.
April 1- 7
Swam-ZERO (I wasn't lying about my lack of motivation)
Biked-84
Ran-14
So close to 100 miles. If only I had gotten my butt to the pool a couple times. Oh well, time to move on.
I have decided this is going to be my motivation when I don't feel like training:
I'll let you know if it helps :)
That sounds like good motivation to me. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSo I need you to tell me when you go swimming so I will be motivated to go too!!!!! I have been slacking and need to get ON it! Haven't been swimming since August :(
ReplyDeleteBut back to you: it's so exciting that you have signed up for the race! (Let me know what time you're going running this weekend-I might be able to meet you)
