The weekend came and went

I had a nice low key weekend. Just like I wanted. I got training done. I slept. I cleaned.

Saturday, I was slow to get going. I think I got up, ate cupcakes for breakfast, walked the dogs, and then took a nap. That's a nice Saturday morning. I finally got to the pool around maybe just before noon. I had packed up my bike and stuff to do a swim to bike workout. Mid swim I realized I had no snacks for post swim or for my bike ride. Darn it!!!!
My swim was short.

Then instead of getting snacks, I went to look at couches. Saw some that were possibilities, but couldn't decide. And I was hungry. So I ate, then napped. Then went on a major cleaning and closet organizing streak. I filled 2 bags of stuff to donate. So that was good. And around 7 or so headed out for a 1:20 run with the dogs. Cooper did a couple miles and Frito did the whole thing with me. My IT band started to hurt a little, but overall the run felt good.

Sunday, okay lets try this swim to bike thing again. But, oh man, I'm sore and tired, I think I'll get a massage today! So, I call up at 10 and they have an opening at 10:30 for a 90 min massage. So...before I workout for 3.5 hours, I get a deep tissue massage. Hmmm, I knew this was dumb, but I just couldn't resist the urge.

Then straight to the pool. I decide to wear the Wonder Woman suit which is still killer tight on my shoulders and but not as bad. I pop a Gu and drink some Propel. Lets do this. I start my warmup.

8x50 drill 25/swim easy 25 with :10 rest
I was supposed to do 12x50 with drill but at this point coach Matt has thrown his Gatorade and buoy into my lane and said ok, what are we doing? So I figured I was ready to move onto the main set. I said he could only join me if he didn't use his buoy, to give me a chance at keeping up. Surprisingly, he gave it up :)

It helped having him there to finish the full workout. He planned to do only 1500m but then kept saying, I'll do a little more, then more, then just finished the whole thing. I definitely would have dogged it a bit more. I was tired.

Then to the bike. I went moderate pace, moderately hilly for 2 hours. It was sorta hot. Not a really exciting ride. Just putting in the time. I was happy to be done. Then back home for a nap.

This morning I woke up early. Not on purpose. Sleeping with the windows open does that. I ate walked the dogs. Went back to sleep. Matt asked me if I wanted to go watch the Tour of Somerville bike race. I thought about it, I've never been, but I was tired, hot, nauseous. Blah. So I slept more. Then did more cleaning and organizing. Still felt crummy by the time we (me, Matt, and Genine) went biking at 4, but felt better after. We did 1:43 ride, moderate hills, with 5x6 mins intervals w/ 2 min recoveries. My legs feel pretty wiped, but that's training. We saw some buffalo out on the ride, so had to stop and take a picture. I'll post it when Matt and Genine send it too me. I don't know why, but it was quite exciting!

Cooper and Frito managed to get 2 Frosty Paws today, some quesedilla, and mac and cheese. Spoiled!
