Week 8 and 9

Training has been going great! Last Monday, I had my usual hour swim. Tuesday I had a good bike and run. I tried out my Zoots for the 2nd time. I came to the conclusion that I need to exchanged them for a larger size. I am going to see if that will help with the foot numbness. Wednesday I usually go to a spin class, but I decided that I am no longer going to go because it is just a little to high intensity and it just isnt long enough now. Also, I can get my full 45 min in the pool before my bike now since I am doing it at home. Thursday I had really nice run outside with my dog. Friday was a well deserved day off. I went to the botanical center. They had a wine festival there. I drank to much. Put me out of commission on Saturday. Not because I was hung over, it just zapped my energy. I played skywalk golf on Saturday morning with my sister and then we went shopping after. By this time it was 2pm and I only have 3 hour until I needed to get ready to go out so I had 2 choices: A- do my 1:45 bike and :30 run or B- nap. I took a nap. At 6 I was meeting a couple friends for dinner and a movie. We had Tai. It was so awesome. We went to see "He's just not that into you". Oh my gosh, it was such a good movie. Sunday I did get in my longest run of the year. I ran for 1:35. I just about got 11 miles in. My lungs werent tired, but man my legs did not want to do the last 2 miles. And surprisingly, my legs never got sore. I followed up that run with a 30 min bike. Last night I had my hour swim and an additional 35 min bike. I usually lift after my swim, but I was pretty tired yesterday so I went home right after the swim to get the bike in. Tonight I have an hour bike followed by a :40 min run. I am seriously considering biking outside tonight. I will have to see if I can find my lights. This Thursday I will be trying out the larger size of Zoots. I am hoping they work. I have a :55 min run to see. I am also adding in my 3rd swimming session this thursday. I am forced to swim at the Downtown Y since they are the only ones that have lap swim right after work that day. I will only get in :30, but it is better than nothing. Then I will do my run after. I was suppose to have this swim in oh about 9 weeks ago and I am finally adding it in. This Sunday I have 1:50 min run. I am thinking I will get just about 13 miles in. I have my route planned. I will make it all the way up to Ankeny and back. That is crazy. I should stop into the Tai resturant and get some more food on the way. I am hungry now for it.
