A Tri Kind of Day

Friday was crazy! Dixie was at the SPCA all day getting spayed and I was a nervous wreck. I dropped her off before my long run. To keep my stomach light I had a green smoothie and an apple on my drive.

When I finally got back home I drank some OJ and slammed some down some raw cashews. Then I headed out for 12 miles!

….12 miles that just didn’t want to happen! My legs were tired from my workout the day before. So I could meet Ryan and Caitlin for a swim I cut my run short at 8 miles and promised myself to finish later in the day.

Before I met the girls to learn how to swim I ate the best salad ever- spinach with a whole avocado, bell peppers, mango peach salsa and some ground pepper. MMMMM!!!

The farthest I’ve ever gotten with swimming is keeping myself from drowning. Luckily Ryan is an awesome teacher and had me doing laps and loving it! I think I have a slight addiction already.

After swimming I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and then picked up my baby from her surgery. The poor thing was so sad looking! The surgery went well but she was still getting over the anesthesia. I came home and had blueberries with an apple and PB.

Later I munched on more OJ and cashews.

Then… David and I biked a fairly fast 8 miles (at 17.5 mph) and then I ran another two miles to bring my daily total to 12!

We tried to go out for dinner but ended up eating simple at home. I chose…surprise!… naner oatmeal with tons of PB! It was perfectly warm and carby.

     

What a day! I had my own little tri with a 12 mi. run, 8 mi. bike ride (at 17.5mph) and 1,200 meter swim. It was awesome… and I was so exhausted by the end of the day!

Today I ate the same things… no need to duplicate photos :) I also took the day 100% off from exercise. Aaaaaaand I went to orientation for my new job!!!! Here’s a hint as to what it is:

Do you combine workouts?
