My body is sleepy

Security deposit on the new place...SENT and RECEIVED!  Bear Lodge here we come: http://www.vrbo.com/250248.  Half a mile from Main St and another half mile to the beach, and apparently a quarter mile from the run and bike courses.  Sorry to hear of the athlete injury that resulted in this place becoming open.  But I see this as an opportunity that was meant to be for me in some way.  Now that I have my security deposit back from the original person, I'm debating what to write...it won't be all puppies and kittens.

Last weekend was full of good workouts, and a beautiful Easter Sunday.  Did the long run on Fri, not an easy thing on Fri afternoon.  But got through the 14 much easier than the weekend prior, and felt pretty good.  Nice surprise.  Had a good 50 miles of cycling with Doreen and Jen on Sat.  Hills were still tough on the Limerick loop, but we tackled them together and felt pretty decent. 

Week of 4/2-4/8

Monday: 2300 Swim, 30 min easy run
Tuesday: Bike, strength training
Wednesday: Interval Run Workout (4x7 min at 7:00 pace - this was the really bad workout)
Thursday: (This was the day I listened to my body, and skipped my swim/easy bike)
Friday: Strength Training
Saturday: 14-mi Run
Sunday: 50-mi Ride


Sat reminded me that I have some pretty awesome people in my life, that I've met through my love of endurance sports and TNT.  Some people think of hte distances as punishment (sometimes they may feel that way).  But I feel like those long workouts are my time to de-stress, to have my own kind of therapy and spend some QT with some of my favorite people.  So thanks for that. 

Easter weekend was a fun one with my sister in Princeton.  Enjoyed some sun on Sun, and napped in the grass while the kids played catch ;) 

This week has been interesting.  Tried to plan for some things other than training, and that backfired with last minute changes.  Workouts got completely juggled to different days, and my body feels good but I feel generally tired - and have all week.  Weird week.  Note what was scheduled and what I actually have done:

Week of 4/9-4/15

Monday: 2200 Swim scheduled - actually biked 60 minutes
Tuesday: Bike, strength training - actually swam my 2200
Wednesday: Interval Run Workout (4x7 min at 7:00 pace) - actually biked 60
Thursday: 2100 swim, 60 minute bike - actually did interval run (much better, but not fantastic)
Friday: Strength Training - will strength train and swim
Saturday: 12-mi Run
Sunday: 50-mi Ride/20-min Run

Chalking it up to life getting in the way.  It happens.  Planning to wrap up the week with solid long workouts (Thank God for a down run week!), including a transition workout.  Will start Monday fresh, on the right foot again. 

Every night I feel wiped this week, I think it's work.  Wait, I know it is.  My body doesn't hurt like it has other weeks, just tired and sleepy.  Will attempt to remedy this over the weekend with extra sleep. 

Tonight had a decent run workout, and sweat more salt out than I feel normal for this time of year.  But felt good.  Now I will watch the Phils, snuggle and have a brewski to cap off the day :)  Happy Friday tomorrow.
