Word of the month: Stronger, this month I've definitely met some personal goals and have not been in as much pain so I am starting to feel stronger and more confident.
Jamming out to: Podcasts, I'm obsessed with This American Life, Car Talk and Stuff You Should Know
Sleeping: Sleep has been weird for two reasons. One, I've been waking up around 12am feeling stomach pains from hunger. I've been eating more frequently so I wonder if this is just my stomach's way of telling me it's ready for it's next feeding. And when I do wake up hungry, it's usually when I've been dreaming about food! And two, sleep overall has been fairly restless. I go to sleep early and fall asleep easily but wake up several times in the night, not sure what this is about.
Reading: Finished Racing Weight, and reading The Red Pyramid.
Craving: Still craving healthful foods although I will indulge every now and then.
Nutrition: I feel like I'm closing in on what I need to be doing while on the course. I did a sweat test and have been using various bars/gels/chews to find the perfect balance.
Feeling:
Swim- nervous, my cramping foot/calf has got me a bit nervous. But, since letting go of the pull buoy, it's been going ok so I'm hopeful.
Bike- reassured, the past couple outdoor rides, I've really been feeling more comfortable on my bike. I'm starting to enjoy riding again!
Run- confident, my run feels the strongest lately. I couldn't be happier about that since that's what I'll be finishing the race doing and when I'll be feeling the most fatigued.
High- Getting 3rd in my age group at the Shannon Brewery 5K and the St. Patricks Day Sprint Tri
Low- Getting sick at the end of the month and missing workouts
