Week 13 – not the race I intended, fitting it in on vacation

June 18, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

Didn't get to do the race I intended. And struggled a little to piece together what was needed while on family vacation. Yet, making it work, and think I'm getting done what I need to.

So I’m shifting the swim sessions out and the running sessions up! So, now we're doing a 60-minute run! The fitness center was so hot the day before, I didn’t want to go back there.
