Did 60 mins trx then my cardio/weight class and sprinted on treadmill starting at 8 mph ending at 9 mph it was breath taking but I pushed and did it. Told one of the girls to make sure if the Emt had to come to revive me cause I thought I was gonna pass out (joking kinda it was tough workout ) to make sure she put lipgloss on me so when I pass out and all I would still look cute lol 2 hrs workout today kicked my ass n I loved it sure will sleep like a baby today

I went to the gym with my hubby and my friend and lifted for an hour then came home and ran a full 5K for the first time. I did it in 37 minutes!!! I'm so proud right now!!!! However note to self don't run at noon while it's 82 degrees and you have lupus and asthma hahaha don't care I still did it!!!!!!

Had a great run today on the elliptical! This was my baseline run for the summer: 11.6 miles in 64 minutes. I'm hoping to do at least one hour long run a week and one 45 minute run. I'm also hoping to actually start hitting the pavement soon.

Participated in the Highland Biathlon ( 5 mile run, 15 mile bike ) yesterday, with mixed results/fellings.

This would be my first multisport competive event.

I had to work the night before, so I'd be doing this on no sleep. (probably a mistake)

The temps were HOT and humid for the 8am start. 70 degrees and 90% humidity!

I had hoped to complete it in 1:40, thinking about 47 minutes for the run, 3 transition, then 50 minutes on the bike.

The run was an utter fail! The course had some hills in it and I just didn't have it in me...actually walked some around mile 3.5. Finally got the run done a little over 50 minutes.

Transistion to the biking shoes/helmet/etc went pretty good at around 3 minutes as expected. ( I wasn't gonna push the transition )

Then the bike ride...what I thought would be my "strong" point. I passed several people on the bike leg...and only had one person pass me. Finished the bike portion in 49 minutes. Too bad there wasn't more bike involved.

Overall, it was a good learning experience. I'll do more of these, but not sure I'll do another after working the previous night. I just really felt exhaused halfway through the run.

I forgot to have my garmin set for multisport, but heres the course

I've been keeping up with my workouts. I took Sunday off B/c we went to the NHRA races (My girl, Courtney Force, won the finals!Yay) but I would hardly say it was a day off. Walked sooo much and this girl forgot the sunscreen. I look so burnt I'm purple. It's going to be so attractive when I start to peel!

Did day 3 today of C25K. I'm signed up for the Color Vibe 5k July 14 and I signed up for the LoziLu 5k mud Run in August. I'm committed. I had a rough day of it today because my sciatica is trying to flare up. Hoping that doesn't happen!

Happy Hump Day, friends!
