This weekend was no exception to the juggling act. We had four birthdays parties to attend mixed in with training. No hangovers, No missed training, while having fun with friends was the goal. Mission Accomplished!
Mixing things up this weekend outside of my regular routine helped get the job done. I was able to visit with my friend Shannon and train in her pool. Let me tell you, If you are not a swimmer you might not understand how staring at the line at the bottom of the pool for a couple of hours each week can be maddening. Swimming in a beautiful outdoor pool makes your workout so much more enjoyable. However lightening did cut my swim short. I value my life more than more yards.
My favorite training session this weekend was my bike ride. My sweet friends were supportive of my bike assignment, keeping me company on my warm up and cool down and cheering me on between power blocks. The miles go by so much faster with great company.
Sunday I did my first double run session. I have never ran twice in one day before. One of those birthday parties was brunch. With brunch comes mimosas. Orange juice is good for you but probably not champagne when you have to run later. Lets just say I continued the juggle but this time with coffee and water. A few hours later the 30 minute run was not too bad. Let’s just say I did not add these details to my coach’s notes on Training Peaks.
Have a great week!
