Not a whole lot to report other than lots of running and baking. I'm still super tired, which looking back at my recent schedule, can be pretty well explained.
Tuesday night I ran a good track workout with the Tri club, Wednesday was a spin class followed by a short run, Thursday night was a swim and a run and then Saturday was my long run at 5:15am! It included running up a 12 story parking garage and back down. I think I ran about 13.5 miles Saturday morning. The route was supposed to be 12.3, but was calculated wrong with the parking garage issue, and my GPS crapped out somewhere around the 2nd floor. Shellie ran with me which was awesome, and we ran an extra 20-30 minutes after the group to hopefully get to 14 miles, but afterwards when I calculated it, I think it was sadly just 13.5, but oh well, that isn't awful, and will still set me up ok for 15 miles next Saturday.
As soon as the run was over I headed to the beach for the weekend. I was soooo excited to be heading down there, but traffic on 45 waned my excitement just a bit. Kelly was in from San Diego and her family had rented a beach house. My parents and a lot of the Clark's other friends came down for the day Saturday for a crab and shrimp boil. I made another trifle dessert that was a hit! I was worried about eating too much of it over the weekend, but it was gone in no time, so I only ate on serving, as opposed to the 8 or so I ate of the last one. I also think Kelly and I did enough walking on the beach to make up for whatever I did happen to eat. Saturday night we headed to one of the finest establishment's in Crystal Beach, the Ship's Wheel, to see Caitlin and her husband who also happened to be at the beach for the weekend. She told me she had signed us both up for the wet t-shirt contest at 10pm and when Kelly's dad heard that, he said we had to be home by 9:45. Sadly, as cool as we are, we were indeed home by 9:45, ice cream in hand. When you wake up at 4:30am, 9:45pm is plenty late in the day!
Last night I came rolling in around 5:45 and threw my stuff down and headed right back out the door with my bike in hand to ride at the park with Luke for a little over an hour. It was HOT! Oh well. I'm sure my hour bike ride last night definitely prepared me for my 3+ hour bike ride coming up in 2 weeks as part of my half ironman - not! Oh well, maybe I will learn a valuable lesson at that race: don't race without training. I was supposed to run early this morning, but I didn't get home until almost 9:30 last night and it is safe to say my alarm was turned off at 5:30 this morning when it went off. I think I'm sick again, but I'm hoping it is just temporary blah from the smokey bar Saturday night and lack of sleep.
I will post pics from the weekend when I get them.
