Audaciously...I'm thinking, "YES!"

Week 3 done. 49 more to go.

October 3, 2015 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

It’s week 3 and we’re looking to hold steady. Given 2.5 days of travel this week and 2 full days of facilitation, it’s going to be more challenging to get in the cycling.

Here we go…

Sunday – Half hour swim.

Went fine, slowing building confidence. I’m lifting my head up too much. My daughter, McKenzie, says the top of my head isn’t wet enough.

Monday – 20 minute run + T Power Dash class (treadmill sprints on an incline alternated with core and lunge work) + 10 min of strength focusing on arms and glutes = 1.25 hours

Monday night (Tuesday’s workout early) – Half hour strength and half hour on bike = 1 hour

Pushed it hard on the bike, was dripping sweat 5 minutes in and kept it going!

Tuesday – off

Wednesday – Ran 6 miles = about 1 hour

On the treadmill, starting at 5:30am. Woke myself up slowly with the speed set at 5.8; dropped it down to a 9:40 pace. Had cramps – which I usually don’t have! – in the last 1.5 miles. Pushed through, focusing on form. (Gotta keep doing stuff like this to get mentally tougher!)

Thursday – Cycling class + half hour swim = 1.5 hours

Friday – off

Saturday – 2 hours cycling.

Was windy and wild out there. More about that here.

TOTAL = 7. 25 hours

Breakdown by sport:

  • S = 1 hour
  • B = 3.5 hours
  • R = 1.5 hours
  • W = 1.25 hours
