What a fantastic week!

It has been a fantastic week! I had a great run with the clinic on Tuesday night, managed to walk across the Lion's Gate Bridge on Wednesday, a mini-brick on Thursday, managed to do a couple tight turns on my new bike and came flying down 16th Avenue on Friday!

"Half way"

Tuesday night we did hills by the Children's Hospital. I was using that run to push myself and dig what energy I had in my body out, every last drop! I want to push myself on Sunday (UBC Tri-Du) and see what I can do, how fast I can push my run after my bike. Its a short Triathlon compared to what else I'll be doing this year, however, it'll start the foundation for the rest of them! I was so tired though by the time I got home I didn't even have the energy to make myself dinner!

Half Way again

Fuck yah! Done

Wednesday night, well, I could have used a few drinks before I went across the bridge! I am terrified of this bridge to the point it makes me feel like I'm going to cry when I drive across it (when I'm actually driving, not in a car or the bus). My friend Thomasina agreed (told) me we'd be walking across it before I have to run across it in a few weeks (doing a long run to Deep Cove). I believe I had three heart attacks and 14 panic attacks while walking across! I'm pretty sure Thomasina has bruises up and down her arm as well. Her fault, she kept telling me we were halfway there!

This week I actually *gasp* tapered! I hardly ever do that but, again, this is the year of learning and growing (well, more than 2011 and 2012 were the years of learning and growing, I guess 2013 is the year of lets see how many stupid things I can do!) I still had to do one last brick (I am trying to compete with one of the guys at work) so went for a very short run directly after my bike home. My GPS was once again telling me weird things, running a 2.9 pace to a 15 pace? haha. No, I don't think so! Funny, it only acts up on Thursdays.

Anyway, I seem to be rambling more than normal, Friday I biked to UBC to pick up my race kit for Sunday. It was less difficult then I thought, well, except for that one hill, I'm pretty sure I found the steepest mother fucking hill in Vancouver, I must go back and conquer it now because it kicked my ass. 16th Avenue, now, that's a fun hill! I've biked it before but on my other commuter, not the new one. There's nothing like just laying flat on the bike and just trusting you aren't going to skid out and hopefully a car doesn't come out of nowhere to flatten you!

I have my race kit for Sunday, I need to get it ready since I'm spending the day shopping in Bellingham for, guess what, more race stuff! Yah, one track mind right now. Maybe I'll get a pretty spring dress too, something a little girly.
