Let me know how your race goes. Where I live we only had 8 hot days for the whole summer so no training and the race was an hour from where I live and now we get the heat. I am going to take this as a learning experience and move on and hope next year will be better. If it is than I move on to a full ironman and if not stay with the half
It was thundering while I was lifting weights last night, so I opted for one of the fancy elliptical machines that feels more like running. I spent 30 minutes at the top of (and a little over) my heart rate range, then walked for 15 minutes to cool down and did some slow stretching. this morning I'm totally feeling it!!! I'll walk at lunch but otherwise rest today.
I'm super thankful I started a weight lifting routine, but OMG am I weak!!! My upper body is pathetic!

I've been MIA for a couple of weeks - back to school stuff got out of control.
@Highlandbear - congrats on the first 1/2 ironman. That's an amazing accomplishment and you should be so proud of your self. My husband did a half marathon this weekend - his first - and I really am proud of him as well.
All the Back to School stuff and some drama at my daughter's school has messed with my schedule. (I'm president of the home and school group, so I feel like I'm there all the time!)
Monday - Fenced for only 1 hour instead of two - had a back to school night
Tuesday - have another back to school night - so I'll miss my TRX class. Will try to get some yoga in
Wedensday - Home and school meeting - but should make it to fencing for an hour
Thursday - choir rehearsal - so maybe some yoga
Friday - Maybe, finally, I'll get to the gym to do agility and weights
Saturday - Fencing lesson and open bouting in prep for a tournament on Oct. 1 (my first)
Sunday - who knows.
I hope everyone is getting their time in the gym in . I know that I have realized just how much I really need it and miss it - I sleep so much better when I work out.
Keep on losing!

Heat is super rough if you haven't trained for it. Can derail everything. My race is in two weeks.
VSG: 3/12/15
when is your race. tough one for me still trying to figure out what happen. i am thinking heat
OMG congratulations on finishing!!!
I haven't been getting my runs in lately :(
Monday- Bike commute (Just 6 miles each way now that I'm daring to ride on the city streets!) and weight circuit.
Tuesday- Swim laps AM walking in the evening
Wednesday - Bike Commute and weights
Thursday- Swim laps AM Walking at lunch
Friday - Run
Do you think it would hurt if I tacked a short run on my bike commute days before I lift? Like a 15 to 20 minute run?

Hi Everyone I am not sure if anyone is still interested in this thread or not. I a posting it but I have no idea what my work out will be this week. I just know a lot of walking and wed a swim I hope.
I did my first half ironman and it was tough on sunday. Hottest day ever. I don't think it got as hot as it was all summer. I had to walk the run part which upset me because I am a runner but could not get my legs. I came home with heat stroke. still can not eat but I finished it and yes i would do it again. Hope everyone has a happy week of training
Oh great!!! You are too good in it. It is a exercise which is good for health. keep up..
