Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving. Turkey, sweet potatoes, yams, stuffing, more turkey, more yams more stuffing and of course... dessert. Pecan and Pumpkin pie! YUMMY.

Eating all this food is good because after last week's training my body needed the weekend to recover.

I decided to two full days of recovery over the weekend in lieu of starting Day 1 of Jared's (my trainer) new weight program on Friday. To be honest I think I'm still recovering from the 110Km ride the group and I did on Sept 30th

Anyhow, my new weight program consists of 2 days. Day 1 on Monday and Day 2 on Friday. It's bloody challenging and of course Jared, being the ingenious trainer he is, has me using a Bosu Ball and supersetting every exercise.

Oh Bosu Ball.. how I love thee!

Today was an active recovery day. Just a 60 min spin on the bike then some Yoga.

Distance 20km
AvHR: 122 (62% MHR, Zone 1)

Tomorrow it is back to "reality". In the pool at 5:30am with the Tri Group then a 5km run at lunch.

On a side note. I had a job interview last week at Lululemon and well.. I got the Job... I'll be working part time about 16-20 hrs a week!

If you havn't tried their clothing. DO SO! Amazing workout gear

I love Lululuemon

Oktober-fest!!

Gosh it's been awhile since my last post. Isn't it interesting how time files when you're in school. You have assignments to do, tests to study for and the next thing you know several weeks have flown by it's a new month!

A new month means looking ahead to the future but also taking stock of the past. With that in mind here are my training totals for September.

September Total:

Swimming:	10700 meters	- 06:45:00
Biking:	325.12 kilometers	- 13:24:09
Running:	24.69 kilometers	- 03:16:21

After taking almost 2 months off I'm making a concerted effort to ease back into the running training as it is the most punishing disipline on my body. I have two road races this month which should be a lot of fun.

My first event, a 10K next week will be a great opportunity to use my Forerunner and HR in a race environment.

Slow and easy!

Train hard, rest well and make sure you take time to enjoy a few pints at Oktoberfest

O'zapft is!
