LEGACY


Kday wrote me a training plan.
One that will make my next Tri less disappointing and painful 
It's a hard training plan - for me.
I did everything possible today to avoid my scheduled bike ride. 
I even did the budget.
I was a monster of a wife tonight too. 
Between the looming ride and seriously raging PMS.... Kday was a sitting duck. 
Poor guy

He somehow always knows my needs.
He told me to take it out on the bike and ride hard.
2 minutes into the ride I was still mumbling curse words about my day, my attitude and the bike.
4 minutes into the ride I looked at the beautiful sunset and found peace.
Dang, I hate when he's right.
I rode to the end of Legacy Parkway and back. 
A smile and grimace on my face almost the whole way.
22.5 miles. 
Super Rad.
I even averaged 16 miles an hour. 
That's fast in chubby time.

Later this week. Intervals. 
Puke. 
(Wow, I forgot how fun that word is to say..... Say it..... Puke)
It will be worth it next month when I finish the race feeling good instead of defeated.
And when the scale starts to agree with my hard work.

Impressive work out. Biker husbands are great at writing those training plans. Hopefully in a few weeks/ months I'll be brave enough to ask for one. Meanwhile, I'm trying to put up baby food. How did the freezer ice tray baby food (I think you had blogged about asparagus) work out?
