So wednesday was pretty rough for me. I had a block of biking and running. I woke up at 5:30 and drank a protein shake then headed off to spin with the group. I felt really strong during my spinning and even pushed myself more than I usually do. Then I got off my bike after an hour and put my running shoes on. I got on the treadmill and my body just shut down! I could only run for about a min and then I had to slow my pace so I could walk. I was so frustrated! I guess I pushed a little too hard on the bike. I finished the training and got home to get the kids up and ready for school. After the school drop offs I went with my younger two and did some shopping for my oldest daughters 12th bday party on Friday. We went to a handful of stores, one of which I got a new sports bra! Yipee :) by the time we were done I was starving! It was lunch time so we picked up my husband and went to a vietnamese restaurant, I love yummy food.
When we got home it was definitely nap time, so we laid down and I took that opportunity to call my race partner, my younger sister. Despite the state between us, we are doing our "long distance" training together. I love having another girl to talk to about my struggles and accomplishments. We both talked about how our training was going, goals we have for the race and of course what we were going to wear! I absolutely love that I will have the opportunity to race with my sister. We are already close but this will be one thing that we can share the memory of.
Find a friend who has the same goals as you and start encouraging one another to step it up and accomplish those goals you have. I can't say this enough...a partner or group of people is key to working out! You have to know that someone out there is depending on you to train. If you have a friend who keeps saying they want to change, then hold them to it and help them! You'll be helping, YOU as well.
Chris :)
