"C" is for Complete!

Wohoo! I'm finally managing to complete my weekly training schedule - it's been two weeks now. All it took is a little time management and determination. I'm feeling a lot better about my training now than I did in my last post. Feels like I'm finally "getting in the zone".

The past two weeks have looked as follow ....

Two week ago
Monday : CrossFit
Tuesday : running (speedwork)
Wendesday : Est. 50K bike (trainer)
Thursday : 45min. run (hills) + CrossFit
Friday : Rest day (w/ 1.5 hr. massage!)
Saturday : Long bike  (+ a swim!)
Sunday : Long run

This past week
Monday : CrossFit
Tuesday : Missed running
Wednesday : 45K bike (outside!) + Running (speedwork I should have done on Tuesday).
Thursday : 45min. run (hills) + CrossFit
Friday : Rest day
Saturday : Long run
Sunday : Long bike (trainer)

Boy did I ever need that massage last Friday. The ride on the trainer was particularly brutal. After about the 1.5 hr mark my calves started to seize on me every 10 minutes or so, so I kept on having to stop and stretch them out. Then Thursday's hills left my hammies pretty sore. Here's where the mental training begins ... pushing through the pain and soreness.
