Honey it's too hot for clothing today... but I suppose laws and stuff means I cannot walk around nude unless it's for art. Nevertheless, training for the Ironman 70.3 and Javelina Jundred 100K is going great thus far. I have a total of 14.5 miles of cycling in and loads of stair training. I did a bit of calisthenics in the park but haven't touched my run yet. If I miss it, I'm not too worried. Back to back long run on the schedule for the weekend will keep me honest. I'm excited about talking to my running coach... yes, I have one now! I hears she's a sweetheart but I know she's going to kick my ass and make me a better athlete. What's your weekend plans looking like?

Maybe the warmer water temps make it feel a bit gross, but I’m here putting in the work and hoping I feel better when this set is done. Just keep showing up and get it done! . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2IDhOgE

#TBT gotta love #Facebook memories. From last season... ........................ So many things come to mind when I think about this IRONMAN journey and even bigger, this LIFE journey. 1. You can't do epic shit with basic people. 2. Surround yourself with greatness. 3. Surround yourself with those who want to see you succeed. Michael Robinsonhas been my champion through his own training, injuries, work, travel, managing the house, managing me and managing our lives while I get to train, and most of all my champion through life. He has taken the time to be there on long training days, leave pearls of wisdom and notes of encouragement...like this card today. I'm strong on my own, but unstoppable with him.

Week 11 Day 1! Its week 11...holy smokes! 

Started the week off with a splash (haha...I know, bad right?) with a 3100 yard swim. First it was supposed to be another rest day, but I didn’t want to take one. So then it was going to just be a 2300 yard swim but when I got there, I figured another 500 wouldn’t be too much more and by that point I just said go for 3000 and there I went. 3100 yards in the books. My form felt good; I kept that in my head for most of the swim and it seemed to help keep my mind busy and my body in good form. I was rather pleased with yesterday’s training and the fact that my cold/allergies from hell are going away. 

After the pool, I kept it low key by hanging out with a few issues of Runners World and Triathlete magazine in the sauna and then the hot tub. There were some great articles and words of advice that I’m going to keep in mind. The big one I want to share with you is this. 

“If every workout is a key workout, then none of them are key workouts”. I love this because I’m so guilty of it! Between racking up miles and yards, endurance building sessions, and everything else I have the mentality that if I miss a workout, I’ve missed a key training day. But life happens and some training days are low key and still help build up whatever it is that you are working towards. But a key workout can’t be every workout. 

In unrelated news, I found a bunch of grey hairs this morning (I’m 27) so I’m currently updating this blog while coloring my hair. Tragic, right? 

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Credit to @brandy_swimbikerun : Despite the weather not fully cooperating today, I got some OWS time. I’m working on getting comfortable in a wetsuit while not being able to see that black line at the bottom of the pool. Luckily the only extra swimmers with me today were @kimchometsky and a big 🐢. . . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2VXOqvl

Small actions and big plans, finding new limits and breaking past them, pushing others along the way, learning new things as you go, and fueling your body to keep going everyday! #whyiTRI #motivation #sportsnutrition @fb6_mia @ironmantri

Easy 8k to begin the weekend workouts with @arjun_1203 and this view - too slow for him, decent for me 😋! Three weeks to the goa triathlon and I am getting the jitters. #morningruns #weekendslikethis #runnergirl #training #whyItri (at Reclamation Promenade)

Hubby and I had to get some laps in at the pool today so we switched off with the baby!! She loved it, only lasted 5 mins in the pool, but my chunky butt loves being outside! Only 2nd time I've swam and did 250 meters!! Slow and steady, but I will get there. I've never really swam but for playing around as a kid. I'll get this breathing and the strokes down soon and then be able to go farther!! I got this! #imcomingforyoukona #legionofboom #1stphorm #nextlevelshit #trime #whyitri
