the april training recap.


total mileage: 176.05 miles!!
# runs/mileage: 10/42.61 miles
# rides/mileage: 8/117.14 miles
# swim/meters: 8/8,550 meters
highest weekly mileage: 64.32 miles
# rest days: 11
favorite run: the warrior dash! the full recap is coming soon, but seriously the craziest thing ive done and so worth all the mud :)
most hardcore run: the rage run. my head was super in it and ready to go. my body not so much. getting the 2 to catch up with each other was rough and took awhile. but i finished! 
current reads: the last night at chateau marmont by lauren weisberger. i love her! she wrote the devil wears prada and i have been in love ever since. her new one comes out this summer, i cant wait!
current shame-inducing guilty pleasure: giving back all the tri stuff i borrowed. hehe. the feeling i had giving back sandy her bike and loading all the books derrick gave me into the car to return was such a freeing feeling.
current obsession: a very important lottery i got into...
current drink: nothing new to be honest.
current song: anything by luke bryan! tiffany and i saw him on fremont at the end of march and let me tell you, if hes coming to town near you its a must to go see him! amazing in concert and damn does he have a cute butt:)
current wish-list: to make my big girl debt go away. i keep thinking i have it just figured out something else fun comes up i want to do! now its nothing crazy out of control, just more than i would like to be there. can i just go back to being a kid again?! haha.
current need: honestly nothing. i am pretty content right now:)
current triumph: becoming a triathlete and a warrior in the same month!
current bane of my existence: helping my body figure out this weird in between time. it was willing to take the time last week since it was just after a race, but this week and going forward might be a bit difficult. if i can make through this training cycle, i can make through anything!
current goal: to love my rest time. sometimes for a runner its hard to do that, which i know sounds silly. but this may be exactly what i need :)
current indulgence: ice cream. its always one of the first things to come back after a race, and dang i missed it! 
blizzards make everything better:)
current excitement: to tell people i am a triathlete. you may doubt me, but bring it on. i can take it and conquer it!

  2. Okay so you rocked the whole month of April with all that mileage!!

    So...You got into the NWM??!!?? That's super exciting!!!

    And also I just realized that there's a tiny chance that you might be in the background of one of my Warrior Dash photos - how strange is that? When Lance took a pic of the giant pile of shoes you can see someone climbing on top of the big warrior helmet in the background, I think it might be you guys, but maybe not? haha
