Well, last week was a decent workout week, but it was NOT a good triathlon training week. Week 2 of my “6 weeks to an Olympic Triathlon†training plan should’ve gone like this (but actually went like this):
- Monday: Lift, Run, and Swim (Actual: Short Run)
- Tuesday: Run (Actual: Sick Day)
- Wednesday: Lift and Swim (Actual: Short Run)
- Thursday: Rest (Actual: Sick Day)
- Friday: Recover Bike (Actual: Run)
- Saturday: Lift, Swim, Bike (Actual: Bike)
- Sunday: Rest (Actual: Run)
Although I got my miles and bike ride in, I missed out on all my swims and all my weightlifting per the Intro to Iron Pumping Challenge.
I refused during marathon training to freak out over one bad week of training, and I refuse to do it now! Especially because I’m a month away from the race, there is penalty of time to recover from a not-so-great (or none existent!) week.
Today was a triathlon training reboot kind of day!
I did the “Legs†day of the Intro to Iron Pumping Challenge, ran 3.0 miles in 27:30 minutes on the treadmill, and swam 750 meters in 15 minutes. The whole thing took about 1:15 (including changing time!), and I felt great afterwards! So accomplished. I was suppose to do 1,500 meters, but I didn’t have the energy to squeeze it out (it was a rough day).
Can’t wait to wear my Swim, Bike, Run, Blog t-shirt in just 4 weeks! So exciting. (That’s Megan, Ryan, and I during our triathlon relay this summer.)
Anyway…
On to food!
Afternoon snacks were a Glo bar:
And a taco shell dipped in salsa (weird, but it’s what I was craving and we didn’t have chips!):
And dinner was made by the Husband! Thank you, Husband! 🙂
I had a veggie burger on a Arnold Sandwich Thin with roasted tomatoes, cheese, and mustard. As well as parsnip fries, corn on the cob, and a pickle!
I night also have a small pour of cereal… I’m still feeling munchy.
And now I am OFF to watch TV – so beat! :) Have a nice night.
Your dinner sounds yummy!! Love love veggie filled dinners.
And you are right, you still have PLENTY of time. One week won’t kill you or destroy all the progress you’ve made.
