Brick a Brac
Brick
So tonight, I did the brick workout that I was supposed to do last night. Had a bit of anxious energy and such to workout so I really pushed it hard. Maybe not exactly the best thing to do 9 days before my race, but hey. Posted one of my best times yet on the bike. Rode 16.8 miles total. Averaged 18.5 mph. Hit up over 26mph for a 5 mile stretch, so definitely getting the hang of the new bike how to go stupid fast on it. Finished that, swapped out bike shoes for running shoes, changed over to a running singlet and headed out for my run part of the brick.
Ran 2.8 mile loop around by my house. Decided to push it, since I was only doing about 3 miles, and see how fast i could do it. Ended up total time of 22 minutes. So that put me slightly under 8 min / mile! First time I've broke 8 mins on a run > 1 mile. So felt really good about that. Good long cooldown walk and lots of strectching ensued after. Then, an ice bath for the legs, so I keep 'em from getting sore. Warm shower, and evening of chill.
a Brac
I'm pissed at my cat. Apparently he's pissed at me too. Or at least pissed at my gym bag. As I came home from work to find that he'd pissed *in* my gym bag. Grrrrrrrr. Not much else to do except let him know I was upset over it, and carry on. Why do cats do that. It's not like my bag smells like other cats, it only goes to the gym with me and sits in a locker.
Why
Still no answer to that question, not that I really expected one. Feeling better today, not as overwhelmed with the sense of helplessness I felt last night. So, thanks to those who shared their sentiments, and helped me keep my chin up.
