You pick a plan.
You write the plan down (and in my case write it down 3 times, type it, and post it EVERYWHERE).
Then you execute said plan and ................... LIFE HAPPENS!!!


Last week was a bit of a set back with only one day (Wednesday) of Sunday - Friday done per the plan. My Dad was placed in the hospital with heart blockages. This was the most challenging of his hospitalizations. Previously his cardiologist (9 times) has been able to stent the blockages and send him home in a couple of days. This time the blockages were on the left side of the heart and heart bypass is preferred. But on day 3 of his hospitalization we find out that is not an option for him so - back to square one as they say. My dad ended up with 3 shiny new stents and is back home!


So Saturday it was back to the plan :-)

What the HIVES?!?!?!?!??

By
2 weeks prior to the Divas Half Marathon I began to notice a strange redness during one of my workouts. Then I realized it was hives. The hives were only on my legs and mainly on my knees. I took some Benadryl that night. The next afternoon I had hives again. I went to the pharmacy and got some spray for the uncontrollable itching that you COULD NOT scratch or the result would be a fire like sensation. I also got an allergy medicine I could take during the day. The next day was a long bike. No hives, no hives, no hives, 10 pm HIVES. What the heck???? So I stopped using Voltarin. Still had hives after 3pm everyday. Some days worse than other days. Ugggghhhhhh So Friday I shave, no hives, and get ready for the beach trip (Divas Half Marathon Myrtle Beach). We get to the beach and I changed into pajamas and BAD HIVES. I notice they do not go above mid thigh. I don't shave above mid thigh.... Hummmmm I wonder. Well I didn't shave any all weekend. Got a PR for the Half Marathon. Bo...

TrivaVal's W.B. marathon report

By
The week before a big event your mind and body do some strange things. First your body begins to ache all over. Second you are an emotional nightmare of emotions and completely irrational. Third your​ mind is an uncontrollable barrage of must do this, must get this, do not forget this which is why the kitchen sink ends up being part of your luggage. Travel day finally arrives! Hopefully you have a huge vehicle because the kitchen sink is going in. Your mind has played out every possible "what if" scenario resulting in at least 3 bags of items being packed. The night before.... Now you would think you would like to get a great nights sleep on this night but it is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Hopefully you have had some sleep the week before because you will lie in bed miserable tossing and turning all night and may even have some very interesting or terrifying dreams. This particular race my dream was that we were being chased by a human size chicken during the race...

Ever feel like.... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?!

By
Well that feeling kicks in this week as we start to write out the plan that we officially begin on Monday. We are writing this plan on top of our current Marathon Training Plan schedule. On top of that basketball begins for Danielle this week and will be 2-3 days a week. And life still happens. If you try to think more than one week ahead it gets overwhelming, so for now I will stick to thinking one week at a time and sometimes one day at a time! In actuality the beginning of the 140.6 Triathlon training plan is less than we have been doing recently, but with the Marathon Training Plan thrown into that mix it is not really giving us any decrease. Here's to our kick off!! 1/23/2017 the plan begins!!
