Last week was a great training week. I clocked almost 11 housr of training and it felt amazing.
Swim - 4km
Bike - 140kms (6hrs)
Run - 27kms (2:50hrs)
I mentioned in my last post about my non-existent weight loss and that I was going to start counting calories. Well, I gave Fitday.com another chance and good news.... they must have done some upgrading because it is pretty quick to upload your foods/activities. I lost about two pounds. I am so happy! It really helps to see what you are eating and to be accountable for the calories/fat/carbs you put into your body. I am going to continue to track my food intake and hope that the pounds keep coming off! :)
My bike on Saturday was cut short as my son had his first soccer practice at 1pm and did not get done until 3pm. When I got home I brought my bike outside and then my tube stem just exploded. So now I had to change my first flat on the new bike with no help as John was already on his 145km+ ride. I changed it with ease. :) Now the time was almost 4pm and that left me with little time to do my whole 90km route. I could have tried but did not want to chance losing daylight if something mechanical were to happen. On my way back home I seen a familiar face. John came back to met me and we rode home together. That added another 30kms for him - total 180kms. He is a machine!! :)
I will not be able to run with the Road Rebels on Tuesdays now as my sons soccer games are Tuesday evenings. Now my Tuesdays are non-stop busy. I get up make John breakfast and lunch, make myself lunch, go to work from 8-4, come home and immediately run 8km, then eat supper (when I say eat I mean inhale), drive Tyler to soccer for 6:15 (game is done at 8pm), then go to the pool for 8:20 and swim for 50min or 2kms, relax in the sauna for about 15min, shower, then go home. When we are home I usually have to make John a snack them I am ready for bed. Are you tired yet? lol
70.3 finisher now training for a FULL IRONMAN in 2012. This is my journey.

April Totals
April has been more successful then last month.. I could have done better but I took a week off to let my shin splint heal. I also should be doing something on the Mondays. I think I am just lazy! May will be a better month. I am making a promise to myself! As well, I think I really need to control my calorie intake as I have not lost any weight. I said in the beginning that it was not about weight loss but who was I kidding. I want to see some pounds shed, damn it. ;) I don't think I eat bad at all but I find myself eating/snaking on anything/everything while I am making supper and then I sit down to eat supper too. I need to stop snacking like this! :( I was using a calorie tracker, Fitday.com, but it takes so long to upload the info. I have no patience so I stopped. Maybe I'll give it another try.
Yesterdays run was a rainy one. I didn't make it out for the early morning Road Rebels group run as we were out late at a friends house watching UFC.. Go GSP!! So we ran in the afternoon after it started to rain. I took my two sons with me as I do not want to run alone (there has been some women attacked on the trails). They rode their bikes while I ran. We were all soaked. Good quality family time! hehe
Bike - 12:20hrs (249 kms)
Run - 13:30hrs (113kms)
Swim - 4:20hrs
Core - 1hr
