Warm and Windy Friday

Because it was so nice outside yesterday, I went a little overboard. I ran five miles, biked 17 miles in the afternoon and did a spin class for an hour. My quads were on fire during some of the drills. This morning I swam a mile, did weight training for my legs and I'll bike again this afternoon for two hours with friends. It's very windy here today, my friends that I'm riding with today better be willing to pull me up some hills after doing squats this morning!

Tomorrow I should probably rest, I haven't had a day off this week. I have the hardest time taking a day off, it makes me feel so lazy and grumpy. The days that I am supposed to take off, my husband will tell me to go run because I'll come home in a better mood. Maybe if I could find a good yoga or stretching video I would at least feel like I did something on my days off. My hair is getting pretty crunchy from swimming 4 times a week. I think I need to invest in a swim cap. Even when I wash and condition my hair right after swimming, it still feels dry. Doesn't water get into the swim cap though? Any helpful hints about saving your hair when training in a pool?

I just feel pretty crabby today. When I swam this morning, my swimming friend was able to keep up with me on some of the drills. I am happy that she is getting faster, I really am. I can be a competitive little wench though, why was I slower? I want to get faster too. I feel like I'm stuck. My 50 yard sprints are stuck at 37 seconds, 100 sprints are 1:20. Then, I made the mistake of getting on the scale after swimming. I know I shouldn't do it. I should be looking at my body fat instead. So, I have gained 4 pounds in a month. I'm not going to tell my weight because then you'll think "skinny little bitch stop complaining!" I don't feel like my clothes are tighter. I have been swimming and weight lifting more lately, I think running keeps my weight down more. Guess I better back off the goat's milk ice cream. I'm hungry a lot though.

I think I'll treat myself to a new bathing suit today, I saw some really cute ones at Splish. I bought a red, white and blue Saucony suit last week and unfortunately you can see my nips when the suit gets moved to the white area. I'm always trying to adjust it, it annoys and embarrasses me. So, my friends sometimes call me "milk" because I make goats milk soap. (usually I'm called goat girl) I was wearing my new Saucony suit and they called out "hey milk" then looked at my see through suit. I wish I had mammaries that looked like I was lactating, I guess I only produce skim.
