Summer is officially over for me (sort of). I need to buckle down and get back into training for three events (read THREE) in October: the Hermosa Beach Triathlon, sprint-distance (my first evar!), the Rock ‘n’ Roll Los Angeles half-marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. I was going to add another half in-between the HB Tri and the RnR LA, but considering how I’ve already fallen back a number of weeks from training, I think three-in-one-month is fine for now.<\/p>\n

\n11mi bike ride. As predicted, I opted for a bike-ride instead of my long run. It was a leisurely ride, though, since my sis (who rode with me) was still getting used to cycling again.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>25min P90x. The workout was cut short because, er, it was too intense. Ugh. That should’ve been a hint for me that I’m out-of-shape<\/p>\n
\nDoes walking around the Getty Villa count as training? Nope? Ok, nothing done on Monday. LOL<\/p>\n
\nEr, was supposed to do 5xhill today; but I didn’t \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
\nFinally! Went out to the Beach with my dad and sis to go run. The first 2.77 miles were great. Around 2.78 miles, my right arch began to hurt. I ended up walking the remaining distance to make 3 miles. I shouldn’t have been surprised… I mean, it’s not like I’ve been running, so wearing the VFF’s and going all out isn’t good for my legs (or arches). >_<<\/p>\n
\nDropped off Dad @ the airport. Bye Dad \ud83d\ude41 Workout activity: nil.<\/p>\n
\nWorkout activity: nil. >_<<\/p>\n
\nYay! Progress — swam some laps but was only able to do half-a-drill >_< Still, 400m done. Proceeded to eat delicious Farmer’s Market food afterwards +_+<\/p>\n
\n11mi bike. Another leisurely ride with sis (not-so leisurely for her since she’s using the heavier mountain bike). Win. Ate some Kings Hawaiian food + dessert. FAIL.<\/p>\n
