:) again

thursday was a good day...up in the morning ready for spin class...was feeling a little apprehensive since my last spin class experience was not good...but i was feeling good when i woke up and was going to get my bike on a new trainer...and i was going to give it my best shot...i was very happy when i hopped on the bike and was able to get my cadence way over 90 without having to think about it...turned out to be a good workout...i would say i was at about 95% a very good thing...5 minutes of abs off the bike...and that topped off my core work for the week...nice to be able to make it up in small 5-15 minute sessions...

home for breakfast...mmm....french toast....(well healthy french toast made with egg whites and sprouted whole grain bread with apples and figs)...and to see j off to the airport...he will be in nyc for a few days working on magazine stuff...did some stuff around the house and got packed up for the second workout and things that followed...

swim practice at courtyard...there were 4 in my lane...but it was really like 2 since the other 2 ladies were a lot slower we kind of had to keep going...the workout was good...i sometimes feel like swim workouts are never ending...like OMG we still have 8x9million to swim...but today felt good...swim down was 2800 well 2750 but i added a 50...oh and i was able to get the pull a bit better so it wasn't making my shoulder muscles sore...i needed to rotate more and get the paddle deep and pull down the center of my body not off to the side...always more to work on...

i was off to jack and adams to restock the long workout fuel box and get some more recovery drink...i had one gel left (eek) and we are riding 95 satuday and running 20 sunday...so yeah that would not do...they had everything that i needed...i love when that happens...and i got a cheer pack too...i have been wanting to try this out...has anyone out there used these? what is the best method...when...etc...i was thinking about somewhere near the end of the long run would be good...help me finish strong...let me know...

grabbed some salmon and a few other things (um yes i did buy a piece of chocolate cake) from whole foods...for treat to myself for sticking it out through the last few tough days...i wanted to make a yummy dinner with dessert and wine...with j in new york i was going to get some olympics in (he finds them not so fun to watch) and finish harry potter 1 and move on to two...a good day...good training and good things to make me smile...and friday is a day off...oh yeah...
