Racing season off and running
Mar 22nd, 2009 • Category: Blog, Feature StoryHere we are middle to end of March and racing season is upon us. I had originally scheduled myself to do Singapore 70.3 this past weekend but alas the body was not ready to do so, so here I am in Nor Cal still trying to get myself back in shape.
I am still hitting the weight room 3-4 times a week and I have seen some good results. Right now, money is pretty tight and we are having to keep the kids home more which is keeping me from getting out as much as I would like. The gym has become a priority workout; I am working all aspects of my body trying to work in all the different planes.
Right now, each week I am increasing my bike and run and I just started to structure a focus bike week and a focus run week. I know I am capable of 2 hard quality workouts in each discipline so it is just a matter of making the right juggle and getting the right rest.
I just started bringing in the intensity last week, it is awesome, I brought on smokers cough as well as double cramping in both quads-BRING IT; I like to say. I am planning on WF as my first race; it has been 5-6 years since I have been there, wow, should be a good time.
I am on Twitter if you want to follow my day to day training; trying to show the balance of it all. Whew, who new life was going to be so busy; I need to blog the mental banter I have in my head sometimes-I think it would make a great book :).
Let it go,
Gina
