12 weeks down, 12 weeks to go. The halfway point!
This past week was tough. Cold weather, ice and snow kept us indoors for a few days. Practices were cancelled, which meant no swimming or outdoor running. So instead I put in some time on the trainer. Finally got to run Friday evening with Gordon, in the cold and drizzly weather. At one point we were sprinting, chasing each other down the street, it must have looked strange!
Saturday the weather was still dreich (Scottish word for miserable, cold, wet weather) so we did a 3hr indoor trainer ride, then went out for a late lunch of delicious pasta and great coffee. Sunday we woke up to sunshine, finally! We went down to Town Lake and ran a double Dam loop to get in our 20 mile run. I had been feeling slightly under the weather for the past few days so I wasn't really looking forward to the run, but I ended up having a good run and finishing strong. I'm sure the lovely weather helped!
Actual hours: 10.1
Bike: 6hrs / 120 miles
Run: 4.1hrs / 25.5 miles
Swim: 0hrs
This coming week is another big training week, culminating in a 75mi ride on Saturday followed by a 22mi run on Sunday. We get to run a 9-10mi warm-up before running the 3M half marathon on Sunday (to get in our 22mi) which is going to be interesting. That means we'll be starting around 5:15am Sunday morning... eeek!
