Tuesday Night Ride

I rode with the Godzillas 19 miles. Since I'm riding Terry, my FIL's 2nd bike in the race on Saturday, I got to train on it last night. It's a MUCH better bike than mine and it made a HUGE difference! Too bad I've got to give it back! On my bike I am out horsed by pretty much everyone on the team. We all start out in one big body and ride together in a pack for the first bit, then string out pretty quickly after we hit the road (as opposed to the bike trail). On Terry's bike I was able to hang on to the faster pack much longer than on my own (though I still did get dropped eventually). It was a great change. Alas, next week it's back to my old nag. Oh well. I averaged 19.1 mph (according to the computer on Terry's bike, which he says is slow). I don't know what precisely I average on my own bike because it doesn't have a computer on it. I've had to go off of other people's data who finished around me. I think I was finishing around 17 -18ish on my bike.

After the bike ride, I ran 1 mile just to train the transition.

Tuesday Running/Walking 45 minutes, Abs 15 minutes

I think I'm going to take tomorrow off though. My abs are so sore!

Running Report- I ran for 30 minutes with BIG hills (2 miles) and then walked for 15 minutes to cool down (3/4 mile).

starting slow

Walked the dog for 25 minutes.

Walked a lot in downtown D.C. today. We took the boys on a boat tour and of course there is no parking. Not sure how many miles or minutes it took us to walk to the docks, but I will say that my legs feel like spaghetti. Not to mention I'm sunburned.

I think I will take my crispy self to bed early tonight :)

Monday Swimming 1 Hour

I was out of commission last week with a sinus infection (which I hope is gone), and I had not swam in a pool in like a month? So, I was a little worried about how I would do tonight. I did really good! I only swam freestyle for 15 mintues instead of 20, but the rest of the strokes I did the same amount of time (15 on the breast stroke, 20 on the back stroke). I need to get back into abs too, but tomorrow at the earliest I think. Too tired tonight ;)

New to blogging

Hello everyone. I am Timpani's sister Elise. Trying to get back in shape is rough, so Pooh recommended this to me. Thanks for the invite Liz.

I can't spell or type but here we go.

Took the boys hiking for about an hour today. At this point my 5 and 8 year old are in better shape than me. Walked the dog for an additional 10 minutes.

Have a good night everyone!

Jealous?

I thought so.

Saturday Biking

I went biking with Bruce and Terry. I got to use Terry's older bike (which is a really good bike...WAY better than mine). It's amazing the difference good equipment makes. We rode just a hair over 20 miles with plenty of hills.
