One of the problems I have with it is that the workouts are so intense that I'm either too sore or rarely have energy to do any other workouts during the week, including cardio, which is what I need. I talked to Corinne (aka kick ass trainer) and she suggested I take some time off and try something else like training for a marathon or 1/2 marathon. My response? BWAHAHAHAHA!! There is NO way I could do that. But she said she knows that I could. She is training for PETA Pack herself, and when I went and looked at their site, I found this handy dandy downloadable 14 week 1/2 marathon training schedule. I printed it out and started it on Tuesday. I missed the first couple of days, but that is okay! The schedule is now hanging on the fridge with check marks on my completed workouts. Anyone else want to play? Yaz?? Corinne told me I should sign up for the Rock N Roll 1/2 marathon, but that scares me too much right now. Maybe when I get further into the training I'll have the confidence to do it.
What else is going on in July? Tour de Fleece! Spinners basically follow the Tour de France dates and spin yarn and challenge themselves all month. So far it has been really fun. I'm keeping track of my goals and progress here. What makes this TdF much more fun than last year is that I received my new Hansen maple miniSpinner right before the tour started. That little machine is AMAZING!!
and my first mS spun yarn:
Send some healing vibes to our little (80 lb) Daisy. She had to have surgery yesterday to remove some fatty tumors. She is not very happy today and quite whiny. She is definitely working the attention angle. :)
