25 weeks 2 go

well this wasn't so bad? i've actually learned some stuff this week.. like when i feel the least into training, when i feel like crap, and when i manage to convince myself to finally drag my butt out, i have a blast. like last nite for instance. due to some scheduling issues, i'd only managed 2 miss out all my swims this week, so i had to get out, but felt like awful and tired too...i'd spun for 70 minutes in the morning, skated with my kids at hawrelak at about noon-ish(was fun, the ice was the best i'd seen it in a while,and at least sasha was skating strong),,,BUT, the kids wanted mcdonald's 4 lunch, so dad had 2 as well...and, man, i should know better...and yeah, it was bad, and it all went through me that quickly too (yech and ohh i know)..and counter it all when we got home i started stuffing myself with every healthy thing i could find in the house ..and again, that never works...but my head hit the water at coronation at just after six, and as soon as i finished the 1st 50 meters i felt awesome...only ended up doing 2000 meters, a good 2000 meters....but i've gotta do that more often. much like last friday i felt strong, fast, and left the water feeling like i could have done more....but, well, battlestar galactica was on so i had to get home right huh,huh?

this morning's spin was much the same...felt like crap waking up, took a few false steps to get out the house ..like making sure i had my front tire with me, and my wallet, and my Gatorade...but once i got together with the gang, and started spinning...wow, what a blast ...who knew sweating could be so fun......i had wanted to do a t-run afterwards..but not in that snow!....

so i managed to get all my rides and runs in this week, still have one more week before the serious stuff begins...the goals this week are to run a bit further and stronger....make the t-runs closer to 30 minutes and my midweek run at least a solid 10ks, spins all about 90 minutes, and swimming 3 times would be nice, and again with going longer as well....I actually want to do the first week a week before the first week of the 24 weeks.....and yeah, the diet has to improve.....no more McDs...and yeah kerri..more chocolate mo-mo juice, and smoothies......oh ward and up ward huh!
