Triathlon Machine... Day 1!!

So I'd like to think that last year I at least qualified as a triathlete to some degree!

BUT... Today was my first day of being a Triathlon Machine!!

And I must say, it went well! :)

Started with a trip to Masters... FINALLY!! Had to seriously talk myself out of bed this morning to go though. It's funny, I like to swim, but I much prefer to do it at Masters vs. going by myself. However, I find it so hard to go to Masters because I have to get up so freaking early!! Catch 22... kind of. But.. I finally got my lazy rear out of bed and actually made it to Masters ON TIME!! YIPEE!! Knew I was off to a great start!

So the sets ended up being a broken 2100 Sprint!! Didn't realize it until we'd done quite a bit. And he just kept adding 400's!! However... my fastest 100yd before today was 1:30. Not really sure how or why... but all of my swim 100's, all 12 of them were either 1:25-1:29!!! I PRed everyone!! WHOO HOO!! My pull sets were either 1:30 or 1:31. I'm a slower puller than swimmer and don't use paddles because they hurt my shoulders and honestly don't think I use them correctly!! So I was still pleased as punch with those splits as well!!

So of course I get out of Masters feeling VERY happy that I got my butt there today!!

Next on the agenda... Run a few errands and pick up my new JUICER!! (More about that later!)

Then... onto my long run for the week. Mixed in it were 5 x 5 min 7:45 pace sets ("or faster if you'd like" says Coach Jen!) Ran in my neighborhood. It's hilly, which I cordially invited since I'm no longer running the super flat run at Florida! All of my splits were between 7:15-7:30 pace!! For me... that's fast! Found my HURT BOX! Which of course I was cursing and thinking how over rated it was at the time, but came to terms with it once it was finally over! :) Again, finished today feeling like... Mission Accomplished!!

Afterwards, I got a GREAT massage from my friend, Amy. She does a really great job! Felt great at this point.

Then onto my favorite part of the day...Ladies and Gentlemen... Meet my new best friend!!

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and picked up a ton of fresh fruits and veggies. Came home, and got to juicing!! And I have to tell you.. Bree was so RIGHT!! So far, we've made the coconut, pineapple, and banana (ohhh it's like dessert!) and as of now my favorite... oranges, lemons, ginger, and asian pears!! It doesn't get much better than that!!

I can tell... I'm about to be a JUICE JUNKIE!!!

I must say this Triathlon Machine thing isn't half bad just yet!! I'm sure I will write some where in the near future about how this SUCKS!! But, I'm counting on you guys to remind me of this day when I do!!

Have a great weekend!
