Well, this weekend was a big one. My boyfriend of several years is moving in, and this weekend was when we needed to get all his stuff moved up. This also meant that I needed to make room for all the previously mentioned stuff, so much of the last few days has been taken up with rearranging, moving, and unpacking. The flip side of that is no working out. Well, not much anyhow. I do maintain, however, that running boxes up the stairs to my apartment counts as either strength, cardio or both.
However, despite the remaining piles of boxes in my living room, I need to get in gear in a hurry. The Jesse James century is less than two weeks away, and immediately after that is the UP trip with the bike club. On top of that, I need to continue to make progress with my running as we lead up to October's 5k. I have a very positive attitude right now, I just need to make sure my body can keep up!
On the tri front, I've been doing some thinking. Specifically, I've been thinking about goals. I know I want to do one or more tris next year, but I hadn't given a lot of thought to how I wanted to do in them. While spending (a lot of) time in the car in this weekend, I pondered it a bit. Ultimately, I came to the decision that if I'm going to do it, I want to do it well. In other words, my ego really doesn't want me coming in last place. So, once again, I need to focus and make sure I have a plan going into the winter. I need to improve my swim dramatically, keep a good amount of base miles on with the trainer, and make sure I keep getting out to run, even in the cold. If I can do that, I think I have a decent chance of finishing at least second to last.
I did get out for Coffee Grind on Saturday. It was a good, fast ride.
Workout: 23.5 miles / 17 mph avg.
