brain fart.
A few updates:
1) I've decided to modify my blog format: rather than posting about every single workout, I will simply post important workouts (like long runs and bikes) and other tidbits that I think are important about my training. Since I log my workouts on both coolrunning.com and buckeyeoutdoors.com, I don't need to further litter cyberspace.
2) Last week I did a swim at the Nat on Friday... it was awesome. I love the wide-open lanes. Now that I have a bike lock, I can get over to the Nat on my bike in 5 minutes. sweet. I thought that I did a 2000m swim, but now I'm not sure... the website makes it seem like one of the pools is 25m while the other is 25 yds. I think that I swam in the yard pool. I like that I have the option to choose!
3) RTB is just around the bend! I'm semi-tapering since I will be running 23+ miles over 24 hours on Friday-Saturday. I did an 8 mile run this past Sunday where I planned a killer hill at the end of the run (I also sprinted miles 4-7... about 8 min pace which is fast for me). wasn't too bad. whatev. I like Lauren's mentality; if I have to stop and walk, then I'll walk. I'm hella excited. and you guys need boyfriends.
4) Speaking of RTB, I totally brainfarted last Friday and didn't go to 580. Great, now I'm missing 2 classes in a row of a class that's only once a week. I set an alarm on my phone so that I don't forget in the future. which means that I have to remember to bring my phone... and have the volume on... and make sure that it's charged. I'm such a mess.
5) Oh, and the PSU triathlon coach Paul Fritzsche came in 2nd at IM Wisconsin yesterday. While I was waiting for the live updates, I stalked some of the pro women. Hillary Biscay, who finished 2nd for the women, did her first IM in 12:29, just about 15 minutes faster than Brandy. This puts Brandy's IM finish in an entirely new perspective. wow.
