Weekend

My sister got here late Friday night, so we went to the gym together Saturday morning. Had some leg work planned and also did a 15 minute warm up run to test out my legs. They feel good.

Stiff Leg Deadlift
Lying Hamstring Curl
Smith Machine Squat
Sissy Squat
Leg Extension
Leg Press
Calf Raise
1 leg calf raise with ball

So I spent a good part of the evening and this morning trying to find a race to do next weekend. I have the Wrenthem Duathlon planned for the end of October but I really wanted to do something sooner. Finally came across one on Saturday, ITPman (.5S, 15B, 5R)...am a bit nervous about the 5 mile run. But I figure if it isn't terrible maybe I'll just go ahead and sign up for the half ironman in Providence next July. So my plan this week is going to change a bit. Instead of doing weights almost everyday, I am going to back off and do some light cardio with race intensity intervals. I don't have to go into work until 1 on Wed and Thursday, so I'll bike on those days. Or maybe I'll swim on one and do an easy bike Friday morning. Am really excited about racing on Saturday! :) Love the tingly nervousness in my stomach. I'm recovering from a bit of a cold that I woke up with on Thursday. Started with a sore throat that I thought was just allergies and rolled into a full blown cold on Saturday. I've been drinking herbal immune boosters since Friday evening though and it seems to be working as my throat is only mildy sore and otherwise I feel fine. Took today off, since I had a sore throat this morning and my muscles were still achy. Want to be good and healthy for the race this weekend as it will probably be my last triathlon this season! :)
