Flying Solo

Sarah's slumpa-a-roo and move out has left my flying solo all week. .... and it's horrible. Today I swam 3000 yards which is a solid workout. However, I was so bored I nearly died. Vikki's has already moved out, Sarah's super busy this week with moving and "social engagements" and Ben is in Kentucky for the Derby. So, i'm whining. Tomorrow I want to ride 25 miles. Saturday the plan is to run 6. Sunday is the Mother's day 5k.

I did my first real "brick" workout this week. It was short but went much better than I thought it would. I biked 10 miles at race pace and then put my sneakers on and ran 3 miles at a 9:45 pace. Afterwards, I really didn't feel that tired and I felt comfortable on the run. In the next few weeks, I'm going to try to incorporate more bricks and build the distances on them. The race is a 25mi. bike and a 6.2mi. run. I want to have done the entire length of the bike and run back to back at least once before the race.

That's all for now, I'm in the library procrastinating by writing this blog. I've got a week and a half left of law school and I'm really digging deep to find a few last ounces of motivation to pass my exams with.

Pretty soon I'm going to start talking to my water bottle for lack of better company. wow, i can't believe I just wrote that. Time for me to get back to work!
