Holla atcha! What? I need some new ways to say hello :-) Welcome to Monday! How's your day going? Mine...could not be better. Not because it's
Strength: 2 full body workout, 3 stand alone abs.
Week Low: Hmmm....my swim, maybe? Finding it hard to hold onto the speed I had last year, but that's obviously due to the fact that I've been slackin' on speed work and swimming LSD. Note to self-incorporate more speed work and lay off the drugs (kidding! LSD= long slow distance if you didn't know)
Week High(s!): 10 mile run that felt great, 30 mile tempo ride (could have gone much further but ran out of time instead of energy!) and my tempo run where I nailed it hard core!
Clearly, I feel pretty good about this week! I'm not in Ironman or PR shape, but I didn't want to dire during any of my workouts, and that's great to me. This week will be a challenge-I have 5 days to fit in 7 days worth of workouts, so I'm expecting some early mornings and two a days. From Saturday (21) to Saturday (28) it's a big rest week-odd to have two weekends (almost) but for Jamaica...I guess I'll suffer :-) I'm fully planning on activity while I'm gone, but it's most definitely a rest week.
Speaking of which....I'll have a few blog posts up while I'm gone (pre written, of course!) but if anyone has a burning desire to throw out their wisdom (please, this blog could use some class!) shoot me an email if you'd like to write a guest post-I would be honored to share your thoughts on my blog!
One last note....need a Monday LOLz? Check this bad guy out! If I ever look like that at the end of a race (well, in girl form) or....even 1 mile in....I will kiss the ground. Sorry ladies, apparently he's taken! I sort of hate you, ridiculously photogenic guy. But you're also sort of adorable, too! :-)

gorgeous here or the countdown to my vacation is....ohh.....5 days!! (thought hose things certainly help on a Monday!) but, MORE IMPORTANTLY, my bestest friend, Rachael, had her first baby this afternoon...a gorgeous baby girl! (11:58 am, 6 pounds, 14oz of cuteness!) Awaiting more details, but congrats to Rachael and Don for bringing a new ladybug into our world!
Now, onto lesser important things, but hey, I suppose thats all relative, right? Right. I wrapped up training week #5 yesterday, and damn, do I feel good. Let's take a look!
