swam 2500y. with wet suit on (to test it out).  Arms felt tired, not sure if it's from the wetsuit being really tight or from Sat. swim?  I loved the fit though and the boyency, it felt so hard to swim once I took it off!  It was a rough workout overall, I'm pretty sick of swimming, ahh!  I need to go to more Masters groups and swim with other people, maybe that will make it more fun.   

Spin class, one hr.  Legs felt tired but luckily it got better and better.  Hard to refuel and get ready for workout #2 in 1 hr. while feeding kids and getting them off to school.

Masters swim at M.J. fun group, loved it.  So much better then swimming alone!  We prob. only did 1800 y. but a lot of it were sprints and backstroke which is good training.  Got in a little 3 mile treadmill run after the class.   Also climbed at the gym for 1 1/2 hrs. in the afternoon and my arms are TIRED!

2.5 hr. bike ride inside on the trainer-ugg!  It snowed 4 inches in my yard as I rode and watched a movie and starred out the window.  I was suppose to do 3 hrs. but only could handle 2.5 indoors!

19 mile Antelope Island training run.  THE BEST place to run ever! So beautiful, nice soft trail, so entertaining, wild buffalo everywhere.  It's one of my favorite runs, time flew by, felt GREAT even after yesterday.  I ran with Mindy and Jay A. and loved the whole day!  My knee felt great, no pain just some right Quad soreness/tightness the last mile.  Took 3:28 min.

Swam 2900 y. -1hr.  felt kinda hard today, arms feel tired, unable to relax, not sure why.

Rode 1 hr. on my trainer outside while kids played in the yard, so NICE!  Sunny, warm, birds were singing, everyone was happy!  Nice and easy figured out I want my cadence to stay at 90-100 the whole race which equals 15-17 rev. per 10 sec. Nice pace that I think I could maintain forever-I guess till I hit the HILLS!

Ran with the BBK's we did some 1 mile or longer repeats up a huge hill and around the block.  My legs were heavy and tired after this Sat.'s run.  The hill about killed me but the flats and downs felt good.  Knee felt just o.k.

Climbed for 1 hr. with kiddos and friends at the gym, ugg-out of climbing shape!

Rode 1 hr. 15 min. on trainer, 20 min. while reading then one spin workout.  Hard workout, felt good.

Swam 2300 y. in 1 hr. w/ lots of drills.  Great workout, good form work, not too tough but I was sooo done for today!  Only 7 weeks left, I can make it!

Decided to skip the swim and sleep in then ride later in the day when the weather was nice.

I did the south valley loop and it was amazing! Perfect bike lanes or small country roads almost the whole way.  No flats, all up hill and down.  went across 78th S. to Wasatch blvd. across to point of the mnt. were I rode some of suncrest then to the prison and west ALL the way to Bingham mine, Copperton and back home.  I only ended up with 50 so I had to ride around for 10 extra miles which was grueling!  I drank one water bottle full and one Cytomix bottle full.  I had one Gu packet and one gu chew (not enough!).  I felt good, avg. pace was 15.5 but it was hilly!  I'd like to get a lot faster.  I hit a little wall at mile 40 and had to walk around for a min. and stretch.   Felt much better after.  My right knee felt fine but now my left one hurt just above my knee cap.   Finished the ride and immediatly ran one mile.  Felt better and better, stiff at first, L-knee hurt??

Ran the Riverton 1/2 course today with the BBK's.  I am glad I went but it was soo hard.  Our avg. pace was 8:20, I would have done a 10 by myself!  My legs were very tired after this week and essp. yesterday.  I died on the hills.  I had only a tiny bit of EFS and 1/2 donut and some Gatorade thanks to Dean.   I came home and went to a movie with the kids then slept all afternoon (instead of swimming).   This was my biggest week so far almost 14 hrs. of training-ugg!  7 more weeks.  Need to do more long rides followed by runs.

Swam 1 hr. 3800y.  Felt terrible today, I thought I might drowned!  I was so tired and sluggish, not sure why.   

Rode 1 hr. on the trainer in the drive way-outside in the sun, yea!! Went easy, felt good.

Did a one hr. hard spin class in the a.m. then ran 7.5 miles.  I did some speedwork on my own which is never fun.  Made it around Horseshoe in 3:47, yea!  It felt so good to be out in the sun, I was actually hot!  Went to the PT today who said my hips are super weak and my quads are super tight that's why my knee is bugging me.  Time to do more strength and stretching work!

Tried to do my own Time Trial today.  Rode on the roads in the dark-not smart.  I was so excited for spring but forgot the time changed and ended up in the DARK! The busy roads like redwood were fine but the others were scary.  Luckily I had lots of flashing lights on me.  I rode for an hr. and 10 min. and did 18 miles, yea!  Felt great at times and dead at times!  avg. pace was 17mph.  I had the winds with me coming back but the last up hill killed me.  Went 27th to the end then redwood back to 90th and home.  Great loop and got me 18 fast miles.  Only two gradual hills.  I'm not going to kill myself for the next few days so I can feel better on the weekend.  Only one workout today, feels lazy but nice.

Swam with the Masters today, then ran 3 easy TM miles.  I think we only did about 2200y. today but it was all sprints, at least I was sprinting to keep up.  May bike later or I may rest???  Also did my new hip exercises the PT gave me, there hard!!

Great ride, great weather!  We did a loop out west to Bingham then a loop out east, up over Suncrest to Alpine, A.F.  Lehi, then Redwood to home.  Ate EFS and my new fav. energy snack Beef Jerkey-YUm.  I was so hungry the last 20 miles, I needed a snickers or a burrito or something bigger then what I had.   I felt great overall today.  I actually had to wait for Mindy which never happens.  Suncrest was steep and long but I felt pretty good, kept avg HR at 143 the whole ride.  1 bottle of H2O, one of Cyto mix, needed more.  Feel great tonight, yea!  Ride took 4 hrs. and 35 min.

Swam 3200y today, felt o.k.  I always feel tired Mon. a.m.'s.  I felt good but people around me made me feel like a turtle today.  The swim took 1:20 min.  

Afternoon, 1/2 bike trailer ride, always hard and tiring, then 30 min. in the trainer in the yrd.  Nice day!  Legs feel tired from the weekend.

Ran with the group, always so fun and so hard!  Luckily Kelli and Julie kept my mind off the running.  We did a long tempo run with breaks but we had no breaks just ran fast, 7:20's then did some sub that at the end with the group.  Did an extra mile cool down when everyone left.  Felt great today.  Lotsa sleep and water lately.

 Spin class at the gym.  This one is always hard, legs felt heavy, glad it was over! We did lots of hills and hill sprints.  Ate a slim fst drink , an apple and some string cheese right after and felt better.

Long open water swim in mexico, great training, for relaxing when really scared!  Nice training for waves and dark water too.  I felt great, better and better as the miles went on.  Some chaffing under arms need to train in tri clothes soon.
