Stacking Bricks One By One

Last week was a solid training and lifestyle choice week for me. Monday was the lightest training day for me as I was coming off a long run over the weekend. Also, we had our housewarming party and one year anniversary! I can't believe it has been a year since Mark and I exchanged vows. I've said it in previous posts throughout the years that he is the reason I started triathlons and a more active lifestyle. As a testament to that mutual interest in being active and healthy we followed the cake eating ritual with a 7 mile walk around our new town.

Here's to many more years of fit and fun living!

In terms of perfect bricks, it was one of the more noteworthy weeks that I have had in awhile. I felt very healthy and strong going into the weekend. Due to that hard work, I did not feel guilty about a cheat meal after running 12 miles on Saturday! I squeaked in 4 morning workouts which I had been struggling with throughout the summer. Additionally, I met with my coach at WMCF and he put me on a new workout plan that tailors to what challenges/interests/motivates me to show up on a consistent basis. Much of it is reminiscent of some of my early training so I've enjoyed getting my A@# kicked in the last several sessions. In fact, as I blog tonight, I am thinking about how tired I am from spinning in the AM, deadlifting, doing multiple sets of good mornings, and a finishing with a kettlebell conditioning workout.
