Friday: Run 3 miles before work w/ Artemis, Swim 850m after work Did not happen, i got frusted with life and just relaxed on the couch

Tuesday: AM strength, PM Spin

A late morning 

by Ariana Peters, posted in training

Good morning!!!

Well someone,  ahem Artemis,  woke me up at 3:30am again to go to the bathroom so I slept through my morning run……and my alarm clock, waking up with about 20min max to get out the door to make it to work. But I did it!!!!

This is what I woke up to

There are raindrops on the lattice lol

I LOVE rainy days.

It is funny to me that most people today are being grumpy about the rain. 1) we live in the pacific northwest, rain is part of life 2) it has been a few weeks since we had rain 3) not this weekend but next weekend is supposed to be almost 100!! Enjoy the coolness now. 4) it is already clearing up and should be nice the rest of the day and the weekend.

Maybe i am a little biased because I love the rain but it is good for everything and everyone to have a little rain before a hot streak.

That is my morning.

I had packed and planned to go to the gym after work and run and swim but i just got a text from the roommate and the realtor wants to show the house at 7pm tonight and she has  dinner. My plans are more easily movable so moved now they are. I can run at home, i had planned a short tempo run but i can’t swim at home……… hmmm well maybe i will change it so that i swim tomorrow and sunday instead. Such is life, we must be flexible or we will break!!!!

Are you good at being flexible?

How do you feel about the rain?

Home from my trip and the week’s recap

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Back to work today!!!

The end my trip was nice, we tried to go to the gym and swim Morning but the pool was closed because the office was closed, don’t ask me to explain it cause i can’t lol.

Then we went to the beach for lunch, which sadly was dissapointing, especially considering the prices, oy.

But the dogs had a blast at the beach!

Halfway through the week

Happy Thursday!!!!!

Yesterday was insane! Work was crazy in the afternoon, i was here late and collapsed when i got home.

Yesterday morning i did swim training which went really well.

20160504_135653

this is how i relaxed at lunch.

20160504_131345

i needed sugar and caffiene. No i do not normally drink energy drinks, in fact i almost never energy drinks but this week has been crazy.

just started this book on tape this morning and i am LOVING it!!! It is so cute!!! The reader reminds me of Steve Martin when he was in Father of the Bride.

Got my last check from the tulip festival which will get me through to my next paycheck and help me pay some of my last personal training payment.

Speaking of money……..i dont know if i told you this yet or not, but my landlord has decided to sell our house. We get a great deal on rent because one of my roommates is sort of friends with the landlord. He said he would try and find someone who wanted to keep us on but even if that happens our rent will increase probably exponentially. So now i have to see what happens and whether i will be staying or having to find a new place or what is going to happen. But my spending money is sure going to decrease A LOT.

Well whatever comes i have my training to keep me sane.

Talk to you soon!!!!

Welcome to the last week in April 2016!

a7031aeabdb8a8108ff688deeca8823e

 

Today- i am taking the day off to rest my legs a bit more. My feet are doing better but my calf muscle still feels a bit sore like i over stretched it when i twisted my ankle running on Sunday.

Tuesday-AM strength, hopfully as long as my leg is still feeling ok tonight

Wednesday-AM swim training

Thursday-Off, since i am now doing trivia Wednesday nights i don’t get home early enough to make 5:30am spin class without missing too much sleep

Friday-Spin and Swim

Saturday- run 9-9.5 miles

Sunday-Off

 

it is a lesser week for me workout wise but sometimes we just need some rest.

Ugh my stupid phone

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Well this was supposed to upload and post last night but my phone is on the verge of dying so i get to spend my lunch at Costco seeing what they can do for me for a phone plan and hopefully get a new one soon.

Yesterday was a good day i pickedup a pineapple at the store a few days ago and cut it up, so happy we are getting to fresh cheap fruit season!!! I am starting to have good delicious snacks.

I met my trainer at the gym for a swim workout.

It was beautiful at lunch so i went out for a little walk before the rains hit at night. When i got back i put my legs up to try and drain some of the lactic acid that has built up

I needed a quick dinner so i drove through subway. Then i ran out the door to my first trivia night from Meetup.com!

It was super fun!!!! I will definetly be going back.

 

How was your Wednesday?

Hardships of being a triathlete PT 1

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Oh so technically i haven’t completed my first triathlon yet but i am working on it and most of this works for running too hahahahaha.
oh and disclaimer, i got all these photos from pintrest, none are my own lol

1acfa880001dc4a3e8b07918742731d1

seriously. This is even worse when my workout schedule gets screwed up, “well i think i am swimming tomorrow so i dont want to wash my hair tonight”……..5 days in a row.

Running was bad enough, the shoes, the gels the clothes, add in swimming and biking and my accounts are not only empty, they are negative.

If this isnt your lifestyle you just don’t get it.

Finding someone to either deal with your workout schedule or workout this much with you is diffincult. and yes the more in shape i get the more i want a ripped guy who still fits all my other critera……..apperently i will be alone forever hahahaha
