I am moving to a new boutique cycling studio (like cyclebar). It was supposed to open 4/29, but the opening got pushed back due to permit issues. On one hand, I feel so dumb for quitting at my other gym before I needed to, but I am so, so, so much less stressed having some breathing room. I think I was more burned out on spin than I thought.

Any AW's or brags?
My ego is over the moon that I have the street cred to be a boutique gym level instructor. Also, my wallet will enjoy the pay bump

What are you training for? Date?

6/1 trail half marathon


Training schedule for the week?

no idea - I was supposed to race a 25k on Saturday but last night they announced it was cancelled - the state park the race was in is flooded and there's more rain on the way all week.

Well, originally I had signed up for 2 races this spring. This is the second race to be cancelled due to rain. I'm just glad that I had such a good time at my half a week and a half ago, which I signed up for almost last minute. I'd be a lot more bummed about the 25k being cancelled if I hadn't already done a half. Anyway, I'm signing up for a different half in a few weeks and we're going to camp there, which should be interesting.

I've fallen in love with backpacking and had a successful first trip, looking forward to a couple more this year.
I went way outside my comfort zone and signed up for a 7-week speedwork clinic through my local track club and it's been fantastic so far (week 3).

  RR I need to seriously clean up my diet. I've been indulging far too often and it's time to start eating like a normal person and not someone running 60 miles a week. 

NRR I'm over kid activities. I signed up for too many in addition to work and PTA. I'm overwhelmed. 


Any AW's or brags?
H and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary tomorrow. Crazy to think it's been 11 years. We're going out Sat night for a nice date night in DC. Can't wait.

I am frustrated with my 5K result from the weekend. I've run 2 of 3 scheduled 5Ks for the first part of the year. The first was just a baseline to see where I was compared to the last time I ran a 5K (like 2 years ago). I was basically at the same spot I was 2 years ago , 4 seconds faster, but basically the same. This weekend, I ran the second 5K of the series and I was only 4 seconds faster than I was a month ago. 4 sinking seconds. Why are 5Ks so hard? I feel like I've been really working hard doing a ton of 5K focused workouts, running a ton of miles, and yet I'm just barely shaving time off. Frustrating to not see some bigger results.




Any AW's or brags?
After just having vented about how frustrated I was with my time in the weekend's 5K, I won! First place overall! WHAT?! Crazytown. I've never had that happen before and I doubt it'll ever happen again (unless I keep signing up for races that the local speedsters don't show up for). I'm a decent runner, but not super super fast. It was pretty fun to follow the lead bike though. And my kids were there. They never come to my races anymore, so it was so fun to see them at the finish and told them that I got first place. My daughter hasn't stopped talking about it which makes my heart pretty happy.
