No ice on the sidewalks and beautiful sunshine...
Had a easter cream egg for dessert last nite...oh man those are good...and my justification is that they are only here for easter...

Seanna-na - Race Week
Monday, March 24th
45 min bike in the a.m. I would be running during these sessions, but when it's just an easy recovery run it's actually more of a hassle to get hugsy over to Tanis', etc... so I just bike instead. I know, I probably need the extra miles for the bay, but that's life these days.
p.m. yoga - good sesh - I should sleep well tonight
Tuesday, March 25th
45 min run with 15 x 1 min hard, 1 min easy. So now I'm paranoid that I started my taper too early and that I haven't done enough. I had a chat with BSD today and he basically started training when I started tapering. I was soooo tired though! Anyway, what's done is done, but I'm not overly confident.

45 min bike with some pick-ups to keep it interesting. Then swimming with Hugs at noon. I only add this b/c it was exhausting. H no longer likes to just be held in the water, but flails in a direction so that I "swim" him around. He didn't stop moving for the entire 45 mins, so neither did I!
Thursday, March 27th
47 min run w 25 mins at race pace (I think?) Felt good - ran along boardwalk - warm with sun shining - yay!
Friday, March 28th
25 min v easy bike. Really just an excuse to take a shower 'cause sometimes I forget if I don't work out!
Sat, March 29th
23 mins at a comfortably fast-ish pace. Felt good. Think I'm feeling ready as I'll ever be!

Nicstah Week Quattro
Monday March 24th -- Day twenty-four
Dudettes, where is everyone and where are the updates???? Ok I was totally planning on taking today off exercise...but some rest, some java, some yoga, some sunshine and I had to head out.
Km : 15
Tuesday March 25th -- Day twenty-five
HOLD THE PRESS! Today is the day. Ok it helps that it's absolutely miserable outside AND that traffic was brutal so I got home after 6pm, just in time to catch the latest airing of Y&R...so today is a REST day. I debated biking but then figured heck! chill Girlfriend.
Km : 0!!!!
Wednesday March 26th -- Day twenty-six
Today is slated to be a double. This morning I leapt out of bed (must have been the rest day!) and headed out for an early 40min. It was a lot icier than expected and so steps were slow-going. Then, with just 1 mile to go, I turned a corner and BAM! first wipe-out of the year!!! And a good one too. Full on face-plant with bloody knees, elbows and wrists to boot. Argh.
In the evening I met up with the Huskies and we ran 60 min with 6 x 3min hard / 2 min jog.
Km : 23
Thursday March 27th -- Day twenty-seven
Oy. The grumps persist. Oh well. 74min run easy
Km : 17
Friday March 28th -- Day twenty-eight
What is UP? I feel like death. My bones hurt, if that is possible. After 10 mins I wanted to just head home.
Km : 10
Saturday March 29th -- Day twenty-nine
Bright and early (and cold!) run with my pals. Still very sore but at least my mood is improving. Geez. I don't like myself this week!!
Km : 12
Sunday March 30th -- Day thirty
ATB!!! Amazing how soreness goes away on race day. I guess the last few days were all psychosomatic for me. The run went really well. I felt kind of bored/uncomfortable/doubtful from kms 13-17 but at 18 I sprung back to life! 10k splits : 39:00, 38:35, 37:50 Woohoo! Off to Chicago in pm.
Km : 36
Week total
Km : 113 (only!)

Suzanne/week3
WOOOHOOO--way to go CJ! you'll be under 30 mins in no time! very proud of you!
Seanna, who are you coaching? love it that you are starting that! is it with Nigel or on your own?
soooo, slept thru my alarm and missed my masters swim practice so did a Troy (spinnervals) DVD instead and will hit the pool tonight...boo tho, as it's so much better to swim with others. hmmm, there is someone i might be able to persuade to do a double and swim with me tonight.
got a bike 40k time trial with (among others) Tara at Absolute Endurance tomorrow evening on the computrainer. am running intervals in MP in the morning with Piper at 7:45... Seanna if you want to come and push the babe around or leave him playing with Ross then do come:)
yesterday was a brick...hard bike of 1:15 followed by 45 min run. didn't get lifting in cuz wanted to come see you lovely ladies instead:) that means i'll have to try to squeeze them in tonight.
will let you know how the TT goes. it's a BEAT the PROS TT...yeah, that ain't gonna happen:)
