Juneathon Day 6

Well... I keep moving here, there and everywhere! Second day for my swimming course today. I did over 1000m altogether but lost count. It was great. I did 50 more meters than everyone else in my group as I swam (amazingly) faster than they did... had a lovely time. I'll continue next Monday! 6 more sessions to go! I went to the orthopedic doctor to pick my new inserts today. I've been wearing them and my foot doesn't seem to wobble too much, wich is obviously fantastic! They don't feel weird or anything so I'm very very happy! I'll wear them tomorrow again and will try a little run in them and then just wear them Fri and Sat and if they feel right, will wear them on my 10K next Sunday! Yay! Loving Juneathon... the push I needed it!

Weight loss?

I know what to do. I've been really good for 4 months and all of the sudden... I can't seem to be able to control myself. I need to lose lots and I want to do it. I'd like to feel good and not ashamed... I can do it... What to do... what to do... what to do... how to do it? Talk about the milion dollar question ;)

Stationary bike today for Juneathon today :D

It was 11pm already and feeling guilty about my eating... had some chocolate in the afternoon and didn't manage getting any workout in... I guess that's what happens with a full time job and 3 kids among other things, right? Well... I wanted to watch a documentary on sea water, so I jumped on the stationary and rode it while it lasted. Not too many kms but more than I would have done, had I just stayed sat down... so, keeping up with the Juneathon wonderful challenge! 9kms in 30 minutes... the idea was just to move not to go any specific distance. I don't know how long it had been since I used my stationary so I'm quite happy... thinking of using it more as I am about 7 weeks out from my first triathlon of the season :D So I will find it easier (maybe) to get on my road bike :D I didn't use a tech shirt... what a mistake... I'm soaked through... it is soooooooooooo hot... sweat started pouring off me (which I gather is good :p) so I better go get changed!

Swimming course

Finally here... it started today... a swimming clinic for triathletes to improve technique... they really made us work hard but it was great! Loved it! A great way to keep moving! 5 girls, 10 men and everyone very good... eek! Too bad it's only during June... I think I will be learning lots, yay!

Cursa a l'Alba

This am, Paula and I went to Salt. The Cursa a l'Alba was being held so we headed there. I didn't know if they'd let Paula run but we had no problems. We set off before the gun and by K2 when they got us, I let her go as I knew she's be sorrounded by people at all times. BTW, I got brave enough to just wear my sleevless t-shirt... not a nice sight but it was very hot ;)

I was doing great (for me) up to k6 but then my knee started playing up. I tried changing my stride but in the end nothing... I managed to finish well and Paula was already waiting for me... what a champ... her very firs 9k race and she never stopped... she does gymnastics so, it's even more amazing that she never stopped and also... she was the youngest runner in the 9k event :D So there... one more to go and a few more miles to count towards Juneathon! Bring it on!

Nocturna Germans Sàbat

Finally... after 3 years trying to do it, I maganed to go to this "night" race. The info said 6,4k but is was 5,55k. After a very hectic and stressful day, my daughter and I went over, met lovely people, as usual and got going. She did so well... I realize I am stopping her but she stays with me (I don't let her go as I don't know the place well and don't like not knowing where she is...) The second hill comes and I tell her to keep going, I will walk the hill. She takes off and boy oh boy... she's such a champ! She's only 9 and a gymnast, not a runner but she gives it all and finished well ahead of me!

Here are a few of us before the start. Xevi always takes a photo. We got lucky and were there :D We power walked in the am too, woohoo! And a 9k tomorrow morning and it's midnight now... so I better get going to bed :p Happy Juneathon! Bring it on!

Juneathon

Needed something to get motivated, not that I haven't been but to keep me going to, there I go... Juneathon... such a wonderful idea!

So there... stair climbing yesterday, walking lots so far today and a 6,5k race in the evening, yay!
