RUN 12 miles in 1:53 (or was it 1:55...?)
BIKE 15.5 miles in 1:00
RUN 5 miles in :45
Yesterday I nutritionally drained myself. I was super hunger all afternoon but had left my wallet at home, and DH was off work. By the time I got home, I was beyond the Starvin' Marvin phase. So I fixed up a huge sweet potato pancake with a nut butter based syrup topping. That's the first peanutty. It was nummy nutty! And filling :)
I started off the run around 6:30, it was already getting hot and humid but as I liked to say this weekend I'm a heat specialist. If I say it enough, I'll believe it, right? (time to start with "I'm a cold specialist...I'm a cold specialist"). My whole goal was EASY, shooting for could go faster but I won't type of pace. No problem there, I was tired! I did an out-n-back through TGP and tacked on some extra to hit my goal of 12 miles.
The bike was also in TGP on the Puppy, I took in a peanut butter Kit bar (not that good, don't buy again) and that's the 2nd peanutty moment for the day. I knew full well it could sit heavy in my stomach for the next run, but I did it anyway hoping it wouldn't. That's one great feature of these Sammiches -- you get to practice the last hour of bike nutrition before moving on to the run. The ride wasn't snappy but I was happy with the pace and effort.
The second run started off when the heat of the day was building. It started off awful! I took a peanut butter Gu gel (3x peanutty!) (I only mention the peanuts because I so rarely eat them, seemed like a 24hr trend today) and felt better afterwards for it. I told myself I could walk a minute after each mile but I only did this twice. I wasn't able to find an "uptempo" pace for the middle of the run as suggested in the training plan, but I'm OK with that too.
Later on after I'd showered I was reviewing my training notes and found I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO DO A 2ND RUN!! LOL!!! Apparently I'm so excited for my peak week workout that I did it a week early.
Then on top of all the nuttiness I bought more PB2 today for my recovery meals. Doesn't even taste like PB, so what was I thinking?
One other thing -- I weighed myself this morning before and after the run. It wasn't a perfect weigh-in, I did it before coffee and brekkie, but the number was HELLacious shocking. WTF? I know, it's peak week, the body won't respond by gaining weight! But I'm now telling myself that something as stupid as a cold virus cold take me out if I don't stay healthy! I'm feeling OK now, keep it that way. And find something to eat dammit!
Oh and back to the major point, after the run I only weighed 0.4 lbs less. So I did good with hydration :)
Tonight is a full moon night, a supermoon even. Too bad I slept through most of it. We went out to eat for Ethiopian but skipped the visit to view the moon from the tower. Long ride tomorrow!
