#TriumphBCAN and other Things...: 139 days....pushing through

This week was about pushing through discomfort while working out. We started up with our Tuesday night core class and for some reason all the squats to warm up and then all the squats and crab walks with bands really got to my legs. I was sore!

I pushed through my track workout at a slightly slower pace on Thursday because i was still sore from the tuesday night workout. I think I could have gone the faster pacer if I would have eaten a snack before the track workout. I powered through and kept my focus, it was a mental workout for me.

Friday morning I swam 3000 yards with coach at la fitness. I made myself eat breakfast at 5:30 AM so would have energy for my swim. I felt a little slower, most likely because I did a hard track workout less than 12 hours before my swim workout. Once again I focused and pushed through the workout. I really like swimming :-).

Saturday morning was beautiful! What a great morning to run through really hilly Laurelhurst with tired, sore legs. I was happy to be able to enjoy the run and push through thanks to my running buddy maddie.

Later in the day we went to the UW to see the cherry blossoms with some friends who are new to the Seattle area. What a glorious day to show someone the beautiful views on the UW campus. It has been a really long time since I was on campus; I was really pleased that I was able to remember how to get around. There were so many people at the quad looking at the cheery blossoms. Saturday was a very long and fun day.....I was asleep by 9 or so until our neighbor decided that his band should play at 11:30 PM.

Sunday, Easter morning, we went on bike ride. Once again we had beautiful weather. We did 2 loops of Mercer Island; we went one direction the first loop and then went the other direction on the second loop.
