After a 3 day haitus from working out, I'm back into the swing of things today. I ran a five miler this morning (although was scheduled for a 13, and hoped for a 10). Sleep was my enemy and by the time I got outside at 9:00 a.m. it was hella-hot and didn't do much for my motivation.
Going again today to look at/price/test drive different bikes with Alicia (tri-partner). Only 6 more days 'til purchase time! After that, I plan to take a short (shorter than I'd hoped, or expected) bike ride to the pool for some laps.
Good news is - before heading out for a run this morning (and while my boyfriend was coming in from his own 17-mile run), he made the comment that I'm "looking more toned." I hadn't thought so, but obviously somethings gotta be happening to my body if I'm doing all of this working out which I had never done before.
Feeling just okay about my run this morning. I KNOW I need to get up earlier and just do it (run itself, and run more MILES), but my mindset at this point is more focused on getting my swim form down as well as building up my legs for the bike ride. Good thing though is that with the five miler came a heck of a whole lot more calories burned than I would ever get biking or swimming. I guess it does have it's perks after all.
