Happy as Mongoose

Run: 17 miles (goal - 15)
Bike: 65 miles (goal 65)
Swim: 4500 meters / 2 times (goal - 2 times)
Gym: 4 times (hell yeah!)

I definitely enjoyed this easy week. Also, I enjoyed getting to work out on a more "one on one" basis with people... since I've been feeling somewhat anti social to big groups. For instance, I had a great brick workout with Dave yesterday at the Veloway, a great run with Rob & Leslie on Wednesday, a great run with Holly on Friday, a nice easy ride with Glenda and Michelle on Thursday and a really nice ride with Glenda & Kris this morning. Phil & I have been going to the gym together too, which has been fun.

As Kris aptly noticed, I've been a bit burned out lately. I've been a bit discouraged at how fast everyone is on their new bikes. (Why is everyone getting new bikes, damnit!!?) I'd been sucking wind on my runs. I've been getting lapped like crazy in the pool. My only saving grace is having good workouts at the gym. (I'm feeling stronger than ever! I love the gym!!)

But luckily I was rewarded with some good workouts this week that reaffirmed that I don't suck on the bike, I am a good runner, and I can swim just fine. I think that burnout is completely normal, especially since I've been going so hard since January 1st, but it was really nice to have an easy week where I remembered that I do enjoy doing all of this.

Next challenge: the Katy Flatlands Century Ride on July 15th. 100 miles of *hopefully* fast & flat riding.
