Happy 2018! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's and is ready for a year of fantastic. We kept it low key with the shit weather and had a small apps party with some board games, and yes, admittedly, passed out by 10:30. Damn, I'm old. I got up on New Year's Day and rocked out an epic 8 miles in honor of 2018 (not ready for 18, so I compromised!) and had a nice quiet set up day with Greg and some friends.
I've been pulling together my arsenal for 2018 - Ironman Training plan in progress, goals set - super scary ones, as the best ones always are. Greg set up some awesome decals to rock out our workout inspo, check it out!
11:59, baby. 11:59. It's such a crazy goal for me that it awes me to say aloud, but hey, moonshots happen. This month is all about the set up to make it work - crafting workout schedules, races, and setting up the crock pot freezer meals and energy bars (Santa brought us a crap ton of gatorade, gum, Epsom salts and clif bars. We are ridiculous.)
In terms of training, Greg and I are working in 4 week blocks and right now it's all about pumping up the volume. I've got a solid run base, but my bike kinda sucks, which is *slightly* important in a race where 60% of the race is riding - so, we bike. Right now my long bike is 3 hours, and I am so damn thankful for the return of crap TV, as my soap has run out of back episodes (no judging, folks. You all know I love Y & R. Lalalalalala I can't even hear you).
And to further channel my inner MARRS, I have been absolutely rocking my new workout playlist, which works equally well in the pool, bike or run. I should note that my music taste is only slightly less questionable than my TV taste, but here goes - a sample of my tunage:
Marshmello - You and Me
Portugal the Man - Feel it Still
Imagine Dragons - Whatever it Takes
Britney Spears - Work B*tch (this never gets old)
Charlie Puth - How Long
Coldplay - Hymn for the Weekend
Calvin Harris - Feels
Antiserum and Mayhem - Hustle
Justin Timberlake - Hair Up
Papa Roch - born for Greatness
I told you. It's a hot mess. Are you shocked??
What songs are you loving lately?

11:59 is a damn awesome goal. I can't wait to 'see' you nail it!
ReplyDeleteAs far as music goes, I'm old (and lame), so my favorite playlist of late includes:
Back In Black - AC/DC
Sky Full of Stars - Coldplay
Uma Thurman - Fall Out Boy
'Till I Collapse - Eminem
Ray of Light - Madonna
He's A Pirate - Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack
