SO I completed the 15 miles. That's the only good thing about it! Sad time of almost 3hrs :-p After 12 miles, I had to keep moving (but it was a walk) b/c I was at least 3 miles away from my car.
I did a MapMyRun.com thing and went up peachtree -> N Druid Hills -> Briarcliff -> N Highland -> Viriginia ave (or something like that). The entire route did not have sidewalks! I stopped around mile 8 at a McD's for bathroom break (and small powerade as some of you know I feel guilty for mooching a bathroom w/o buying something). I stopped again into a Kroger for a bottle of water (refill the nalgene) about 11.5 miles.
UGH on the wall at mile 12. I literally felt the top of my feet hurt...along w/ the typical bottom of feet, ankles, hips, etc. WTF?? 11 more miles ontop of the 15 in just 68 days?!?! I definitely have a long way to go!
NOT swimming or weight lifting. Just NO. Might go to Longhorn by myself but I don't feel like I've earned it w/ my pathetic time :-p BOOO I think all the traffic stops added time...and deflated my spirits when it was such slow mile splits. Next time: I will run just peachtree road up and back vs all the side streets...Alright. Ending on a positive note: the 15 miles were completed!

Monday - still tired!
So Saturday definitely wore me out! I casually rode my bike for the scheduled 77 min and got out to the 9.2 mi marker and back :-) Not too shabby for not pushing myself too hard.
It was COLD while I was riding w/ layered SS and LS shirts on. My fingers and toes were numb -> this did not motivate me to run 15 miles when I got home. Tomorrow's forecast is for much better (warmer) weather tomorrow near the 76 so 15 miles then! I feel bad for always delaying the long runs but at least they are being accomplished, right?

Sunday = day of rest
KC(M) recruited me to join her while she was joining a few guys to Primal. The dancing and staying up after a HUGE workout day was not in the plan, but I'm glad I went b/c it was great to hang out w/ my BFF. I don't know if my thighs were sore Sunday from dancing (haha) or the weightlifting, running, riding or swimming :-)
It was dreary outside Sunday (for the most part) and I did not feel a pep in my step to run 15 miles (aka dragging booty on lack of sleep) so I rainchecked to Monday! Oh the joys of not having an office to report to....
Monday goals:
- Bike 77 min SCT
- Run 3 x 5 mi loop around campus (4:45pm -> dark then remainder on treadmill)
- Swim 700 m (4x100, 4x50, 4x25)
We'll see how long my energy lasts!

WHEW!!! almost a 3000 cal day
It was a cold morning (42 at 8:30) so I delayed getting ready until at least 9am. To test how bad I have become at running, I ran first today! :-p 5 mi in 47 minutes isn't terrible, but it's definitely 5 minutes slower than I was 6 mo ago! Whatever - it was completed :-)
After running I did weights and another of this week's swimming (4x100, 4x50, 4x25). The 25m things at the end were great! I breathed normally (ever 4 strokes) without freaking out, kicked fiercely the whole time, etc :-) I stretched but skipped any abs to get to SCT (Silver Comet Trail) before too late in the afternoon.
Biking was great! Someone joined the trail about the 4.2 mile marker and kept about the same pace as I did all the was through mile marker 16.88 (64 minutes into my 128 min ride). I thanked him for allowing me to follow him through unfamiliar territory and apologized if he felt stalked. He laughed and said it was fine.
First Bike Fix: On the way back, around 5 mi marker, I had trouble slowing-going while looking for traffic on a crosswalk and dropped my bike. The chain fell off the gear wheel (?) and I literally looked down and said, "$hit! My bike isn't working!" A cyclist around me chuckled and fixed it easily in like 5 seconds. THANK YOU!!!
After I survived the rest of the ride back - for a total of almost 34 miles (whew) - I wanted to treat myself to a protein smoothie from planet smoothie! I went by the one near the Vinings Publix but it had a sign "Cash Only - sorry for the inconvenience". EEK! I found a smoothie king via BB for the route home but it wasn't the same. Sad...guess it'll have to be after the next LONG ride :-)
Tomorrow is supposed to be a 15 mi run but might delay that until Monday if it's raining. I could do it all on a treadmill, but I prob won't want to! :-)

Debating rest??
Last night, KC(M) and I hit up 411 Studio for their beginner pole dancing class :-p (it was on group.com people) KC(M) teasted me about how easily I picked up on the spin...oh goodness! Def for entertainment only as an hour burned less than 250 calories. They warned us our arms would be sore but it is my left calf!? I really have never hurt the inside, upper part of a calf. Typically it's deep inside the very back, center - I have no real idea on how to stretch that part of the muscle!
Another weird thing about this injury: it doesn't really hurt while walking! This leads me to believe that everything should be fine during my workouts but I hate the idea of paying $$ again to see a doctor if I screw this up. The last foot and then numb shin thing turned out to be a bust :-p
Moral of the story: yoga / pilates for a few hours tonight to really stress out my calf to see if it will freak out during the long ride and run I have planned for this weekend! :-)
I am open to suggestions on (1) if I should workout/when (2) what stretch to try to hit that particular part of the calf (3) jokes about it ;-) haha

Day of rest
I finally crawled into bed around midnight; therefore, a 5:30 am swim & weights did not seem in the works! I am very sore today and overall no pep in the step -> giving myself a day of recovery before back to swim, 5 mile run & 70 min bike Friday :-D Saturday looks like a GREAT day for a long bike and swim...
I am looking into joining the Atlanta Triathlon Club - they are having an information / sign-up session this Saturday at Atlanta Cycling 4:30 - 5:30 pm. Anyone have PROs or CONs of this club? :-)
Realized while swimming yesterday 2 very key things that are probably second nature to all that swim: prob nothing earth shattering to others, but I am pumped to be progressing out of complete novice to swimming!
1. USE YOUR LEGS - never paid attention and assumed they were kicking hard...they were not. Now I know I cannot kick decently for over 50m at a time...def point for improvement!
2. BREATH ON BOTH SIDE - who actually breathes turned to the right? hah - well, I tried and not like it affect the graceful look of my stroke but GOODNIGHT do I need to work on not looking like a bobbing head turning up and to the front. :-p
Anyhoo - off to Studio 411 (see earlier post) this evening w/ KC(M). Def going to be hilarious to try to pole dance...NO PHOTOS ALLOWED :-D def not counting it as a workout :-p

Second ride = much harder than first!
Hit silver comet trail a little after noon - definitely felt tired right away :-p I quickly moved out of the hardest gear (what I was in the majority of the ride yesterday) and maneuvered through the trail to the same point as yesterday. I must have been so excited during Tuesday's ride I did not remember the actual mileage of the turnaround point - it was actually 8.6, not 8.1 miles to the parking lot.
So very excited to know I'm making 17.2 miles in 70-ish minutes (closer to a 4min/mi average even w/ the traffic light breaks!) Anyhoo - survived the 2nd day in a row of biking. Tomorrow will be the 3rd and then a Friday break before a Saturday or Sunday long ride :-D
Made it to the gym after 7pm (had to drag myself there) to swim the same routine as Tuesday but was pumped to see I read the schedule wrong and today's running was just 3 miles! :-D
Swimming went well (yay for lane to myself), running did NOT! I assumed three 9min miles would be feasible but NO! I only survived 1.2 miles and had to decrease it to a walk....then back to 9:15 to finish the 3 miles in 30 minutes. EMBARRASSING....I guess I have more work than I thought to get ready for the San Diego marathon. EEK! 74 more days...

First Solo Ride & Shared Lane Swim!!
Tuesday was B-E-A-U-tiful - I adventured to take my first solo bike ride on Silver Comet Trail. It was not too crowded (like Saturday) but at least 3 riders or walkers were seen between each distance sign. I rode to the 8.1 mile sign and back.
Lessons learned:
- the first 4 miles have TONS of crosswalk (aka takes a while for the light to change)
- the hardest part is getting back on the bike and cross the road!
- the middle post on the opposite side of the crosswalk is my enemy!! (I almost hit it EVERY TIME)
After that adventure - I realized I could not leave my bike on the back of the car and run...for fear my bike wouldn't be there when I got back!! Ugh - did not follow the plan! :-p
Once 5pm rolled around (when I can park on campus) - I went to the crc at 6pm. The pool lanes were full (after I changed and everything) so I ran first. The 3 x 1 mile at 5K pace would've been fine if I wasn't ambitious and say that a 7:30 min/mi is my 5K pace (that's my goal pace for 2010 lol). Needless to say, I did not survive at that pace and brought it back down to 8 min/mi and barely survived after breaking it down to two 1/2 mile segments for the 3rd mile. Whoops!
I completed leg, arm, lower back and abs and headed to the big adventure: swimming!!! There was finally a lane available around 8pm. The workout (4x100, 4x50, 4x25) was okay. I got through freestyle for the entire workout minus breaststroke for the last 25 of each 100m. :-) About halfway through, a girl asked to join in my lane (b/c it was still crowded). I couldn't be rude so I didn't object. She turned out to be a triathlete who had completed an Ironman and multiple 1/2 ironmans.....CRAZY!! She of course was a swimmer and built up the running segment, but ANYHOO - she was very understanding of my warnings of being a bad swimmer :-p
Morale of the story - I did not die from sharing a lane :-) Might be more consistent is swim workouts now that I know this!!
Goal for Wednesday:
- 70 min bike ride again...repeat Tuesday's distance: at least 16.2 miles
- 5 mile run
- 4x100, 4x50, 4x25 swim (work on reducing the rest inb/w)

Hibernating
BRRRRR high of 46 after a great weekend...ugh I officially did nothing today fitness wise. The weather was not motivating as it was in the 30s this morning. Definitely need to get past this to get in weights and swimming 3+ times this week :-p
Tomorrow goes back up to the 60's and no rain :-D
Goal: AM - Swim, weights ... Afternoon - 70 min bike ride, 4+ mile run
Eccentric Group Exercise Classes: YAY for working on fitting into KC(M) schedule to go to 411 studio together and use the groupons I bought - I bought two to con someone into joining me for moral support during the classes!!

Bike Ride!!
So after the big purchase weekend (last weekend) - finally got out on the bikes this Saturday for 8+ miles! The adventure began w/ getting the bikes to the location -> MB got a swanky hitch/rack thing and the bikes stand up in it! I really like it b/c even I can use it on my own (well, I haven't tried on my own yet but hoping!).
Ride started out 1pm ish and out on Silver Comet Trail. We rode out 4.2 miles (signage on the trail) to picnic tables - ate an awesome lunch - rode the 4.2 miles back to the parking lot. This was a great intro to wearing those weird biker shorts and the uncomfortable bike seats! Definitely going to take some getting used to! MB would also like the point out that the first 4 miles are up hill so going back was much easier!
Pumped about getting the bike broken in ASAP (bike shop dude said proper fitting is recommended after 6-8hrs of riding)!!
Goals for this week:
- Swim 3+ times
- Bike ride 3+ times (tues, wednes, Thurs and Sat = awesome weather forecast)
- RUN 3+ times
- Abs EVERYDAY
- Weights (at least) 2 times

Almost 12 miles :-)
So I used mapmyrun.com and created a route around piedmont park to make 12 miles (and end at the smoothie king!!). Great plan -> now run it! :-)
3:30pm got out of meetings early -> hit the pavement! I was on a roll b/c I parallel parked pretty darn well - off to a good pace and kept track of my rout written on a gum wrapper :-p
Mile 10.5+ as I approached ponce / north avenue on highland avenue again...I realized I took ponce the first loop when I should have continued to north! Eek! I decided to continue w/ the route and remap it when I got home to see how much I fell short...Normally one would think the polar equipment that track miles would help me out in the situation BUT I have it calibrated a bit off using a new pair of shoes; therefore, it's about 0.4-0.6 miles shorter. I have not re-calibrated it yet because I like the extra motivation as I think I am going slower than in reality - forcing myself to keep the pace up!! :-)
So after surviving (burning 1600+) and a great smoothie king (556 cal activator strawberry), I get back to my parallel parked car to have a ticket! Ugh - what's up with a ticket on St. Charles and 10th b/c I did not have a resident sticker?? The route was 11.76 miles - close enough for government work! Check that run off for this Sunday as I'm booked 8:30am - 8:30pm w/ 2 2hr blocks....whew!
Goal: swim in a few hrs...might become 12 ;-) haha

Dislike CRC
So I refuse to swim with others in my lane...I think I've tried for just a few laps w/ MB in the same lane. This has become a HUGE issue as the pool is always too crowded to have my own freakin' lane.
05:30 am - every lane taken
11:45 am - every lane taken
05:30 pm - every lane taken
06:30 pm - every lane taken
08:00 pm - ??
The pool closes at 9 pm so I'm hoping the 8pm timeframe will work. The main reason why I was paying $10 more a month AND going to a gym that did not include group exercise classes was for the wonderful aquatic facilities. ...frustrating :-p
Otherwise:
- ran 3.35 miles in 30 min at 1.5 incline... that killed me
forgot my water bottle so didn't survive weights after it (literally 2 arm sets in -> left to attempt to swim again)
- heading back to the gym to try to swim again...maybe not b/c I'm grumpy about it! lol

Inconsistent workouts = inconsistent posting :-p
Friday: ran a few on the treadmill, swam for the first time in 2+ weeks, hardcore arm and leg weights :-) definitely SORE before I left the gym let alone the next two days
Saturday: purchased a cross bike for MB & a scattante road bike for myself. We both should not need another bike for at least through my first ironman (haha) I was too sore to ride the bike around too much during the test ride - or was it my fear of riding in general?? :-)
Sunday: glanced at the bikes while walking back and forth (not time to ride together.. :*-( next weekend...)
Monday & Tuesday: thought about going for a run - literally did nothing (2nd day = even mapped it out on mapmyrun.com and did not even do that!)
Wednesday: now it's rainy all day and ruining any motivation to go do anything BUT two major things need to kick myself into gear
(1) I need to get better at swimming to stay on schedule w/ increasing triathlon distances
(2) I need to get ready for the San Diego marathon June 6th!
Oh! and checking out upcoming tri's to hopefully motivate myself on the swimming, I was thinking about
- 06/13 West Point Lake sprint tri
- 06/27 Aflac Iron Girl sprint tri
- 10/03 Lake Lanier Island sprint tri <- this one for sure b/c it fits into the football schedule LOL :-)
Let me know if you are thinking about doing some of these!!!

2nd Day after run = not as sore
How did 5 meager miles make my quads ache all day yesterday?? Crazy...Feeling better today so getting back on schedule!
I did not make it to the gym yesterday but I remembered how easy it was to get to campus (running) so I could park around and then jog in... note to self: leave swimming and biking stuff in gym locker
So today I am going to walk in (w/ a bag to leave in my locker) and get my swimming in the middle of the day. I hope this translates to not crowded but I'll find out at 1:30 this afternoon!
Goal:
- swim my 20 min routine (3x100, 3x75, 3x25)
- jog 4 miles (6.5 @ 2.0 incline)
whew...

10...I mean 5 mile jog :-p
Okay so my body can't handle an hour of running. This is weird and will be remedied quickly (hopefully). I planned a LONG run in the B-E-A-U-Tiful ATL weather this afternoon and I got in a loop of just over 5 miles when my body went "tomorrow is another day!" LOL I guess two days in a row will be better than 1 day and a HUGE break.
Goal:
- Swim this evening! Must conquer the enemy!
- Run again tomorrow (and swim!)
- STRETCH the knee out...silly power of suggestion is working (arthritis)
- Nurse the feet blisters (ugh...no fun part of getting back into shape)
