It’s been a week, y’all! So glad it’s Friday leading into a long weekend! This morning, I tried to sleep in but my eyes popped open about 10 minutes before my alarm. I was so annoyed. Anyway, I got up and made my way to the pool. Didn’t feel much like swimming, but remembered the video @natashavdm81 posted with a tip about rolling the shoulders in for a high elbow catch. So that is what I focused on for my entire swim this morning. I actually think my pace was a bit better with similar effort, but dang I could feel my shoulders by the end. Moseyed my way back home and did a biceps and triceps lift. Not much to report on that front. Just putting in the work. Thankful that I only have 4 meetings today instead of the 9 I had yesterday 👀 ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Whew. That one felt hard. My legs felt heavy and I had a longer ride with sweet spot intervals. I had to force will myself to do it all because I know that I’d need to hold power like this when I do the @triplebypassride. I did cut out some of the cooldown at the end so I would have time to lift but I got the important part done. And of course it was leg day. I guess the good thing is that my legs were warmed up. The bad thing is that they were tired. All in all day’s work! I’ll be stuck in a chair the rest of the day, y’all. I have NINE meetings today. You didn’t misread that. NINE! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Big workout this morning! Wednesdays are always higher volume and kind of stressful because I’m rushing around trying to get everything done. Thankfully, I didn’t have much trouble getting up when my alarm went off. I pivoted from running on the treadmill to running outside. It was nice and cool, so black dog joined me for my intervals. He was fine for the first few and then I was dragging his bum around for the last few. Buddy is getting old and I was sad when I realized that I may not be able to bring him with me on all my runs anymore if he can’t keep up. 😭 I did a shoulder workout as soon as I got back from the run. It felt nice and I was not sure how my swim would feel after the run and lift. Saw a friend and shared a lane with him at the pool and got 5x400s in. I didn’t have much time to chat, but it was good to see a familiar face. And I’m happy to report that I didn’t cramp in the water, which seems to happen when I swim after a run. There were definitely a few moments where I slowed down a touch just to be sure nothing tightened up. Overall, a solid workout and I’m gonna get to work well ahead of my first meeting! 💥 ⛽️: @scienceinsport gel (my first time), @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine #howcatrolls #noxgearnation #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #noxgear #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Helllllo Tuesday! Nothing huge to report this morning. Got my home gym back so I could dawdle a bit more than the last few days. Hopped on the trainer and did some above FTP intervals. They felt appropriately challenging but didn’t destroy me. Lift was chest and back. Felt pretty good. I do not like inclined presses. They kind of suck. Or maybe I just suck at them. Overall, a solid workout to start the day. Get it, fam! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger 🧇, @drinklmnt #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Boy, I felt rushed this morning. When you have a house guest and can’t use your basement gym and you are at the mercy of the gym’s prescribed hours, you just gotta get in what you can. I was waiting at the doors at 515 when the gym opened. I got a quick leg workout in and then rushed down to the pool to get my swim in. Shorter intervals means more opportunities to rest and gab with people. That means my swim dragged out longer than it should have. All my fault. I ended up cutting about 200 yards off at the end because I had to get home and be showered and dressed before 8. I should just stop talking to people and focus. Happy Monday! Hope you all have a great start to your week! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador

Happy Friday! I made my way to the pool a touch later than I should have. I did intervals of various lengths and, while I didn’t feel crappy, my mind wasn’t in it. Every time I started an interval, even the short ones, my brain told me I didn’t want to do it. My body finished what my mind couldn’t today, and even though I didn’t feel like I was moving in the water, my interval times were in line with what I thought they should be. Went up to the fitness area afterwards and did a quick biceps and triceps lift. Saw a few friends and chatted with them. Failed to take any pics. Looking forward to riding this weekend. ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger waffle, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Poor planning on my part caused all sorts of last second changes and a lot of rushing this morning. Somehow, I was able to fit everything in. I totally did not take into account that baby girl’s boyfriend was staying in the basement and would probably not appreciate me hopping on the trainer at 5am 😐 So then I was just gonna do my workout after work, which caused me to dawdle. Then I realized that o could go on the trail right by the gym and get my bike intervals done and then lift at the gym. So some rushing ensued. And I may or may not have worn a pair of dirty bike shorts. Anyway, it was so nice to do my intervals outside. I think Garmin has my FTP wrong in the app so I had to manually calculate my expected power output. Nothing like doing math while you’re on the bike. Then my Garmin decided to turn off and reboot during a hard interval. That pissed me off a little. Rushed off to the gym and got a quick leg workout done just in the nick of time! I don’t recommend doing what I did because it was a little stressful, but I’m glad I made it work. ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @honeystinger 🧇, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
I’d like to take a moment to thank black dog for ruining my run. I was feeling pretty good about the short speed intervals I had to do but black dog basically gave up after the second one and I was literally dragging his 60lb 🍑 as I was doing the intervals. As a result, I only hit my targets on 6 of 10 intervals. But I got my workout in pulling him along. Just like any of us, our four legged friends have off days, too. Rushed off to the pool after the run and did my swim while fighting off toe cramps. This seems to happen every time I swim after a run. Kind of annoying. I felt a bit heavy but I did just drag that dog around the streets so I’m no surprised. Rushed home and did a quick shoulder lift. Felt pretty strong. Can’t complain.

This workout was easier than I anticipated. Not gonna complain, though. I’m following the plan, and I know there will be plenty of challenging ones coming up. First came bike intervals. I should’ve gone outside to do it, but for some reason, I didn’t plan ahead so I just climbed on the trainer. Short above FTP bursts with some sweet spot work. Felt good. Chest and back lift followed. Nothing to write home about except I was sweaty 😁 Baby girl is sick so I’m doing my best to boost my immune system to make sure she doesn’t gift me with the germs while still doing my mama duties and caring for her needs.

I had a rough time getting up this morning. That snooze button was my friend. I wanted to sleep for days. Because of that, I was pretty late getting to the pool. Thankfully, I am not super loaded today so I was able to move a little slower. The swim was technique focused with a bunch of short intervals. I kind of liked it. I was a little sad to find that today was leg day. My legs are a bit tired after climbing a mountain and fighting some fierce winds on the bike this weekend. I did it, though. It’s good for me.

Acted like middle school children and did a flat ride to find the giant phallus. It was the first warm ride of the year. First half of the ride felt good. We took it easy and more or less coasted to the statue. Had a good laugh at the statue, took a pic and started our trek back battling some brutal winds that hit us from all sides. So much for an easy ride. Still beats the trainer. And hold powering is what we need to train for. I’m happy to announce that Garmin told me I’m now 14% heat acclimated. Time to celebrate! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!

Happy (early) Mother’s Day to me! Baby girl offered to do the cardio of my choice and lift with me for Mother’s Day. Pretty amazing gift if you ask me. She was hoping I’d swim today, but instead, she got to join me for a short brick run after my ride. It was so nice to have her run with me, even if just for a few minutes. Then we had fun doing a biceps and triceps lift. One of us was more focused while the other had fun smacking mama’s bum (see pics for evidence). So fun to have company and good laughs. I won’t soon forget this. Oh, and I climbed a mountain (Alpe du Zwift) before the workout with baby girl went down.

@howcatrolls First OWS of the season complete! I am happy to say that I did not freak out in the water, even though I wanted to. I am sad to say that I am still way slower in open water than I am in the pool. Sigh. The good thing is that I’m more confident overall. I did 2 laps in the gross murky lake and then went to find black dog, who was waiting for me to run. For some reason, my training plan has a 1:40 long run this weekend. I was gonna try to squeeze that in today, but I just didn’t have time. Black dog and I did 40 easy minutes and called it. Wasn’t sad about it. Overall, very happy with the workout heading into Mother’s Day weekend.

I think about all those times I started and gave up. That’s the truth, most will start and give up before they start seeing significant progress. Is it hard, absolutely! It takes discipline, consistency and an unrelenting winning attitude. So what changed? I surrounded myself with friends that are striving to achieve something great and have helped empower me to push myself outside my comfort zone and to never give up. Who’s in your circle?

You know those workouts that are middle of the road difficult where no one part pushed you over the edge, but they never let up? Yea, that was today. Slow steady burn start to finish. Bike intervals weren’t hard but the easier intervals weren’t recovery intervals so that little burn just never let up. Leg day added to the burn. No surprise, but I still hate Bulgarian split squats. They’re the veggies of leg workouts. You don’t like them, but you know they’ll make you stronger. 🥦 So many meetings today!

Had a nice little Hump Day workout this morning. Lots of short intervals in the pool had me huffing but I didn’t mind them …. strange. Shoulder workout was less exciting and I had some trouble with it because that fall in Boston jostled my upper body pretty good. Finished everything off with a 12 minute easy run primer. And that’s all, folks! ⛽️: @drinklmnt, @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Taking it easy again this week with a little less volume and my body has been thankful. I hopped on the trainer and did 30ish minutes of easy spinning with several short bursts sprinkled in. Legs felt pretty good. Nothing exciting to report. Chest and Back lift came next. I wondered why I felt so worn and then figured out it was because my upper body took a good jostling when I fell during my run in Boston. So all that to say the lift was hard! Got it done. Now onto a full day of work. ⛽️: @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @optimal_amino, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @lmnt, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Happy Monday! I always say never miss a Monday, but honestly, I kind of wanted to miss today. I made myself roll out of bed and make my way to the pool. Took me forever, but I did broken 150s and felt largely ok. Had nice chats with a frequent lane partner, which make it take even longer, but I didn’t mind. I didn’t really want to be there today, and it was a nice distraction. First leg day of the week went down. Felt pretty blah. Was definitely just going through the motions on that one.

Whew. I’m a tired girl. I was up at 3:15am (no, you did not misread that) because my Uber was picking me up at 4am to get to the airport. I basically slept like the dead on both legs of the flight and got home safely. I was happy to be reunited with black dog. I’ve missed him the last 4 days. Spent a few minutes with baby girl and started psyching myself out to get a brick workout done. I hopped on the trainer for a little over an hour and then took black dog out for a quick 20 minute brick run. If I’m being honest, it didn’t feel good. I couldn’t wait to be done. Anyway, no regrets. I’m definitely cooking dinner tonight and going to bed early. No more eating out for awhile …. although I wouldn’t say no to more bubble waffles 😁 ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador

Boston is by far my favorite city to run in. I’ve only been here a handful of times, but I’ve enjoyed every run I’ve done here. This morning, I did my first run since last weekend’s races and it was perfect. I found a beautiful path near the hotel along the bay and just went out and enjoyed myself. I saw so many women out there getting their workouts in. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many girls out running at the same time. Ladies, let’s keep getting out there and crushing it! That was just a very neat thing for me to see. I did some short intervals in Z3. Had to go by feel because I left my HR strap at home. Felt a little twinge in my lower back. Didn’t love that. Got back to the hotel and figured out a shoulder workout with the weights that were available at the hotel gym. You just gotta be flexible and make do when you’re not at home. Looking forward to baby girl’s second concert to tonight. Now to get my work done. Tomorrow, I will hunt down the Boston Marathon finish line! ⛽️: @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @1stphorm hydration mix, @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Such an inconvenient workout. But you know when it’s important to you, you will make it happen. I didn’t rent a car here in Boston so had to Uber to the pool. But you know my cheap heart did not want to pay premium prices for the rides 😁 As soon as I saw rates go down, I booked the trip to the pool. I was able to snag a lane and felt surprisingly smooth in the water. It did feel strange to be in an unfamiliar pool. Was hard for me to know how I was moving since it wasn’t tiled and I couldn’t see how quickly I was moving in relation to how I was feeling. Did a hamstrings and glutes lift after. And again, as soon as I saw the Uber fares go down, I booked the return trip. Now here I sit in the Uber back to the hotel so I can start my work day!

Leaving town this morning to spend the rest of the week in Boston where I’ll get to hear baby girl perform THREE times! What a lucky mom I am. Travel always means super early wake up calls. I was out of bed before 4am and on the trainer shortly after. I didn’t have much time and would have liked longer to get things done, but you do what you can with the time you have, right? 30 minutes of sweet spot intervals went by quickly. A nice build up from the last few recovery days. Then I did a back and triceps lift to finish off the workout. And that, my friends, is how you prioritize yourself even when you don’t think you can.

Medal Monday! 🏅 It was a big race season kickoff for me. I stupidly signed up for back to back races that destroyed me. But I had so much fun! I don’t think I’ve had so many friends race with me ever. And somehow I managed podium with a course PR yesterday. Not sure how I pulled that one out of my 🍑 This morning, I was stiff as a board and thought long and hard about a full rest day, but when I felt how tight my legs were I knew I needed to get them moving a little. I went to the pool and did 4x500s at a recovery pace. It felt good for the most part. I could feel that my body was tired. By the time I got done, though, I was feeling strong so I finished off the workout with a light chest and biceps lift.

Race number 1 for the weekend complete. It was not my day. I went out unsure of what I was gonna do since I needed to save some of my legs for tomorrow. It was windy, so I knew that would be a factor. Race started off fine. I was on pace for a sub-2 half marathon for the first 5-6 miles. Then the wheels fell off and I could feel that something was not right. Around mile 6, different muscles in both legs, feet and toes took turns cramping up. Nothing I did eased the cramping except slowing down. Sub-2 went out the window and I went into survival mode. Miles 6-10 were the worst. I just chugged along best I could and tried not to think about quitting. The last 5K were a bit better because I knew the finish was near but I still couldn’t push it without seizing up. Big bummer because as I assessed how I was doing, my legs weren’t sore and my lungs weren’t burning. It was just the cramps that kept me from holding pace. Oh well. You can’t win them all. Still had fun. Saw so many friends out there suffering with me! ⛽️: @ketoneiq, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @maurten_official drink mix 320, @drinklmnt, @uncrustables, @optimal_amino, @bpnsupps Go Gels #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #rallythelou #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Pre-race primers! A mini brick workout before the weekend festivities begin. I have been so busy at work this week that I haven’t had time to come up with a plan for the 2 races this weekend. The weather is looking like it’s gonna be stormy and super windy. Not ideal for any type of racing. Looks like there will be sustained 20-25mph winds tomorrow with gusts up to 40mph. I’m thinking I may take it easy and save at least some of my legs for Sunday and fight the wind during the shorter race. Anyway, this morning was a 30 minute spin on bike with three mini intervals and then a 15 minute brick run with three 1 minute intervals at race pace. And that’s a wrap! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Is it really only Thursday? Another taper workout in the books. 25 minutes on the bike trainer with a few 1 minute bursts. Legs felt pretty good, even though I’m a bit low on sleep. Decided to do a chest and back lift after to get blood flowing. No leg lifts this week to save them twigs for this weekend. I am actually enjoying this taper. I am usually itching for more but man, my body needs it! Get it done, fam! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Talk about a rushed workout! A busy week at work means a pre-5am wake up call and no dorking around. Black dog and I were out the door for our short 25 minute interval run. The cool temps felt amazing and we both enjoyed the run in the dark. Then I somehow managed to squeeze my sweaty self into a tight swimsuit and rushed off to the pool. Got there just before they opened and snagged a lane. The swim was confusing and I had trouble keeping track of the ladder interval so who knows if I did it as written. But I did it. Rushed back home and got my arms lift in. Was kind of surprised. Now to clean up and get myself to work! Gotta love it when a plan comes together! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @drinklmnt, @honeystinger 🧇 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
I’m loving the lower volume taper workouts. I am going to be so incredibly busy at work this week that this works out just right. 30 minutes easy on the trainer this morning followed by a shoulder workout. It went by quickly and I didn’t feel like I was dying. My hope is that I get enough sleep this week leading up to the races this weekend. Aside from full work days, my evenings are also booked solid. 🥵 Have a great Tuesday, fam! ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @drinklmnt #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Consistency is THE KEY when working towards a goal. It’s difficult to master which is why most people give up. That use to be me and then I mastered consistency. Daily, consistent efforts over time has lead to significant progress.

Not gonna lie, I am not looking forward to this week. I’m gonna have jam packed days and evenings, meaning I have no flexibility in my schedule. Plus, I have races on Saturday and Sunday. Don’t ask me how I managed to do that. Not smart. Anyway, at least it’s taper week and my workouts are easy and lower volume. I did a 1500 yard swim this morning. Mostly 100s. I felt pretty ok given that I felt queasy and had a headache on the way to the pool. Did a standard back and chest lift immediately following. Black dog was needy once again. Not gonna lift legs at all this week to try to keep them as fresh as possible for the weekend races.

I don’t ever regret a ride, but I was definitely on the struggle bus. With it being race week next weekend, we purposely did a “less hilly” route. But the wind gods decided to strike hard and absolutely steal our souls. It was rough but you know what? It’s still better than being on the trainer. We were getting blasted from all sides by the wind that I’m gonna guess, got up to 25 mph. We got 40 in and called it a day. That’s all I had to give. My left calf was tightening up by the end and I was glad to get off the saddle. Loved the new route. Hated the wind. Went and got some @teddrewes_frozencustard after because we earned it! Time to take it easier this week leading up to two back to back races Saturday and Sunday. ⛽️: @honeystinger 🧇, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @optimal_amino #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
I was happy when I looked at my workouts and saw that I didn’t have a long run this weekend. Yay for taper. All I had was a 45 minute run with 8x1 min at above race pace. Very manageable. Even black dog got through them, although he was definitely dragging behind me by the last few intervals. I did manage to forget my HR strap again, so no idea what zone I was in. These optical HR monitors on the watches are trash. I was thankful for a nice cool day. Didn’t care for the wind but I was running in a neighborhood so was less exposed than when I run by the lake.

Waking up was easy today. My eyes popped open before 5am and I just kind of rolled with it. I made my way to my preferred pool, which was nice. It’s just better maintained than the other one I’ve been going to. I had some longer intervals. I felt like I was moving well in the water. Had some cramping in my toes in the second half of the swim. Also suddenly felt depleted by the end as well. I got it done and felt great overall. The lift was arms focused. It felt appropriately hard. I went up in weight on a few moves. Didn’t die.

There is nothing like watching the sun come up on your bike. I am so happy that it’s getting lighter earlier and mild enough to do my bike workouts outside once in awhile. I knew I’d have to fight the wind but I was ok with that. It was just a Z1/2 recovery ride with 20 min in aero at the top of Z2. I did the interval and then met my friend for a little joy ride on the flats (with the exception of the big incline I always have to climb to get back home). Then I smashed my legs with my second leg day of the week. Just grateful for my health and the discipline to get up and at ‘em early. ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger 🧇, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Big volume Wednesday! Did some run intervals on the mill this morning because it was hella windy out and, honestly, I didn’t have it in me to fight the wind gods. The intervals went way better than the failed bike intervals yesterday. I was able to get through them without absolutely falling apart. Rushed off to the pool and got my swim done. My toes cramped up multiple times during the swim. That was not fun but I was able to power through them. Talked to a sweet man who just turned 71. He wanted to be in my picture. Love how he takes care of himself because he only has one body! Shoulder lift went down afterwards. Felt appropriately difficult but not too difficult. Great Hump Day effort. Not perfect. But I made my deposit. ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @honeystinger 🧇, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
What a disaster of a workout! If you’ve read my last few posts, I’ve had a headache and a few other symptoms the last few days. Have not felt super but it hasn’t stopped me from riding and running. I don’t know if my body is fighting something or what but my ride this morning was atrocious from the get go. The ride itself was programmed to be hard to begin with, but I did not expect to have to stop during the very first hard interval. Talk about a downer. Anyway, I made my way through half of the intervals at the prescribed power and then just had to keep lowering it with each interval till I was done. I also think I tweaked my right quad. Yay. I did a chest and back lift after. At least that didn’t feel horrible. The only positive about today’s workout? I showed up. That’s about it. At least there’s that. There’s always tomorrow. ⛽️: @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @optimal_amino, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @drinklmnt, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Got a nice Monday workout in after 7 hours of sleep (rare for me). Eyes popped open right when my alarm went off and I was up and out the door. Did drills and kick and the moved into 250s, then 200s, then 100s. Good times. Felt like I moved pretty well in the water. Noticed that the faster I swim, the worse my left side catch gets. Gotta work on that. First leg workout of the week went down after the swim. Didn’t feel as horrible as I thought it would. Still hate Bulgarian Split Squats. Also, @flux_footwear trainers are my favorite leg day shoes hands down. Flat and lets me feel the ground. Get you some!

I felt like an absolute turd when I woke up this morning. Head has been hurting for the last 24 hours. I had zero desire to do a long run. Had no idea how it happened but I went into zombie mode and got all my stuff together and next thing you know, I was at the trail with black dog. I started running and wanted to die. So I was like let’s just do 30 minute. Then I got to 45 minutes and I was like let’s do 60. I just chugged along until I hit my time. Had to pull back on the pace because I forgot my HR strap and really wanted to make sure I stayed in Z2. Winds were high (shocker) and it was warm! Black dog was definitely ready to be done by midway. Most exciting thing was trying out my handheld water bottle and my nutrition flask. Both worked well. I’ll be carrying them at the half in a few weeks.

Another Saturday. Another ride. Weather was freaking awesome. Wind was still present but I think we’ve just gotten used to it. The temps were in the 60s when we started and high 70s by the end. I think we all needed a nice day. 40 miles. 5 big climbs. Saw a lost mole (see last vid). I’ve managed to forget about my brick run after my ride the last two weekends, so I had to get it done today. I went and got black dog and we knocked out an easy 5K. He, too, was not heat acclimated. We will have to work on that.

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to go to work. I was just tired. And it’s my own fault. I’ve let myself stay up late too many nights in row. You know what though? I got up anyway. I dragged my 🍑 to the pool and hammered out my swim. I felt a bit sluggish but I got it done. I was happy to see my friend there because it distracted me from my lack of motivation. I did figure out that I really enjoy broken 400s. It helped me stay focused through my intervals. I hope they show up more in my future workouts. Shoulder day followed the swim. Whew. I definitely felt that! Happy Friday!

Have you ever put on a pair of worn out bike shorts because it was the only pair you could find, knowing that your undercarriage would be angry with you within minutes of your ride? No? Just me? Aside from my sore lady bits, I had a nice and easy steady state Z2 recovery ride. I zoned out and watched some @dubaiblingnetflix. Mindless. Just what I needed. Then I smashed my hammys and glutes and called it a day. Black dog was needy, as usual … but I would be so sad without my workout buddy.

Good workout today! Wednesdays are usually my highest volume days during the week. I always feel rushed. Today, I managed to get everything in before work and didn’t have to push my swim to the weekend. Did some Z4 intervals at the track. Felt controlled and calm. Got rained on. It felt nice. Got done just as it was getting light out. My legs felt like boulders at the start of the swim. Had a 1000 yard time trial and somehow PR’d it. I did well pacing myself to negative splits. Then did a fast 100 to finish and PR’d that as well. Go figure. Went home and did a quick back and triceps lift. Skipped core.

I was so excited last night when I realized it would be mild enough for me to do my bike intervals outside. As thankful and blessed as I am to have a smart trainer, grinding outside is always preferred over wanting to poke my eyes out indoors. I rolled out just before it got light out and got to watch the sun come up (sort of …. It was cloudy). The intervals felt hard but I couldn’t be happier to be out on my bike. Finished off my quads and calves with my lift and now I’m gonna take my noodle legs and park them in a chair for the rest of the day while I sit on zooms. Good times! Also, I didn’t realize until I was almost done with my lift that one of my socks was inside out. 🤦🏻♀️ ⛽️: @optimal_amino, @honeystinger 🧇, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Happy Eclipse Day! Took the day off so I could enjoy the eclipse so I got to take my time a little this morning. Started with a chest and biceps lift that felt unusually hard. Got through it and was glad it was done. Went to the pool and did some drills, 250s and 200s. I’m really starting to feel like I’m moving more efficiently in the water. I do feel like my bottom half snakes when I get tired. Gotta fix that. Had nice chats with a few swim friends since I had a little more time, which was nice.

Big ride today! Big wind 💨 Big climbs 🏔️ I came down with a headache late last night. Felt largely ok this morning so met up with my friends and then the headache came back hard during the ride. I’m sure my body was fighting something because things felt harder than they should have. But dang, I had so much fun. I love being on my bike and pedaling around town with my friends and climbing steep inclines. Ok, I don’t really like climbing, but I accept that it’s part of the package. The wind was brutal today but it seems to be the norm these days. We’ve just accepted it and deal with it. Pleased with my performance, especially given how I was feeling.

Endurance swim day. I was looking forward to an easier swim workout. Due to time constraints, I decided to do a shoulder workout first, knowing it might make me more tired during the swim. I felt fresh during the lift. It definitely woke me up and got the blood flowing. Good way to start the day! Went to the pool and did 4x500s with negative splits. I didn’t feel winded. I felt like I was moving with the water and not fighting it. I did, however, notice my bottom half snaking a little, so I focused some on tightening my core and bum cheeks. The only downside of the workout was the giant roach I saw crawling around above the drain at the pool. Scared me to death. I hate bugs. I had to keep reminding myself that they can’t swim. 🤮 Happy Friday!

Good workout this morning. Was glad I didn’t have to get up super early. Did some longer sweet spot intervals on the trainer. Gotta start getting used to the longer grinds for the @triplebypassride this summer. Hamstrings and glutes were in the lifting menu after the ride. All heavy. All good.

Big workout Wednesday …. Run, swim, lift and move freaking fast so you can get to work on time. 🥵 I’ve pushed the swim to the weekend many times due to time constraints, but I was determined to fit it all in today. Felt rushed but I did it! Started with the run. Three 15 minute intervals with increasing intensity. I didn’t love it, especially on the dreadmill, but made it happen. Didn’t die. Rushed off to the pool and did the swim. It was mostly 200s at various paces. It felt good, much to my surprise. I usually feel completely drained when I swim after a run. I felt a bit depleted by the end but was largely well fueled. Rushed home and hit my back and triceps. Had to keep telling myself to slow down and maintain good form. Hard to do when you’re trying to get done so you can go to work. Whew!

Ok so my trainer ride was way easier than I expected. They were a bunch of shorter above FTP intervals. It just wasn’t enough to make me huff and puff. But you know what …. I’m ok with that. Not every workout has to wear you out. And since the bike intervals were not too straining, leg day felt good. I didn’t even cuss during the step ups and I hate those!

Double swim went down! I forgot that the pool would be closed for Easter yesterday, so I was up before 4am to lift and get to the pool when they opened so I’d have time to do two swim workouts. 🥵 Started with a chest and biceps lift. I don’t prefer to lift before a swim because it makes me sore, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do! Snagged a lane right when the pool opened and did an endurance workout. When I got done with that, I honestly didn’t want to start the second workout. It was so tempting to just climb out and leave. But before my brain could convince me, I started the second swim. It was less volume and more focused on technique, so not as wearing. Got it all day in plenty of time to get home and cleaned up for work. It was the first time I’ve done more than 4000 yards since IMAZ. Never miss a Monday. It sets the tone for the week! ⛽️ @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, @drinklmnt, @honeystinger 🧇, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Happy Easter! He is Risen! My training plan did not call for a true long run today, but a mostly easy run with a 3K pickup. Very manageable. I left black dog at the car when I warmed up and did the 3K pickup, and came back around to get him for the Z2 portion. With it getting milder out and him being black and furry, I knew he’d have trouble keeping tempo. He did get to run all of the easy portion with me and had a great time. Thankful for a beautiful Sunday. Hope you all get to spend time with those you love today. ⛽️ @honeystinger bar, @bpnsupps Go Gel, @drinklmnt, @snap_supplements nitric oxide #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador

Let’s talk about the benefits to training in barefoot sneakers such as @flux_footwear I have seen such an improvement in my foot strength since these shoes encourage the natural movement of feet which helps strengthen the muscles in the feet & lower parts of our legs. My feet/ toes aren’t squished inside the shoes anymore due to the natural toe spread that barefoot shoes provide The big factor that had me switch to a barefoot sneaker, (like @flux_footwear ) it can help decrease a risk of injury plus help improve your foot strength which is something I believe we all need. 🙌🏼 You can use my code BROOKE10 to save $$ . . . . . #trainsmarter #takecareofyourfeet #takecareofyourshoes #fitnessforlife #moveyourbody #loveyourbody #fluxfootwear #fluxcollective #madetoadapt #lowerbodyworkouts #lowerbodyexercise #trainstrongtoremainstrong #moveyourbodydaily #movementheals #certifiedpersonaltrainer #functionaltrainer #choosemovement #fitmama #strongasamom #trainforlife #trainyourbody #homeworkoutvideos #workoutroutine
Party at the pool today! Not planned, but I ran into multiple friends at the pool, meaning we talked and took our time. Good thing we’re all off work today! I feel like I’m really moving with the water now when I swim. I remember not understanding what that meant before but now that I can feel it, I know what everyone has been talking about. You gotta work with the water, not fight it. My interval times are slowly coming down and I feel smooth. That’s all I can ask for. Shoulder days after a swim are always hard. I took my time getting through it. Felt strong. 💪 Now I get to spend a few hours with baby girl before she leaves to go back to school. ⛽️ @honeystinger 🧇, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Redemption ride! Last week, I was not able to complete my bike intervals without bringing down the wattage for the last interval the day after a harder run. Today, I completed it as prescribed and didn’t feel like complete trash afterwards. I wasn’t happy in the moment but I was able to grind my way through the higher wattage intervals. Legs weren’t thrilled that it was another leg day after but I got through them. Hammys and glutes will thank me later. All in a day’s work. Nothing exciting to reporting. Just putting in my daily deposit. Keeping grinding, fam! ⛽️ @honeystinger 🧇, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Some speed work this morning. Was not looking forward to it. That treadmill is the devil! 👿 I chugged my way through most of them and didn’t feel bad about pulling back the intensity back on the last few. That’s all I had to give today. I felt pretty good though. The intervals were at a faster pace than I’ve probably ever run on a treadmill so that’s something. Back and triceps was the lift for today. Felt good even after an exhausting run. It’s been a bad few days for this lady but I’m holding my head high and pressing forward. ⛽️ @ketoneiq, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @honeystinger 🧇, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Howdy partner, mighty fine spurs ya got there, but did you know that the heel to toe drop and narrow toe box are wreckin' them there toes of yours. Even in full western... @flux_footwear is still the move. Super fun first time in Helen with @lernk17 check out her page and watch her vlog on our day trip! Shout out to @fluxfootwear_ambassadors for keeping me stylish at all times. I'm wearing the Adapt high top graphene trainers in the video, and of course I used code "Hypermobile" to save at checkout. #fluxambassadors #fluxcollective #madetoadapt
Another day, another trainer ride. Above FTP intervals went down and while I didn’t love them, I know I need to be pumping out more wattage in preparation to climb the Colorado mountains in July. As usual, I finished destroying my legs with a quads and calves lift post ride. And yes, I still hate leg day. We will see how quickly they recover for my run intervals tomorrow morning 😭 ⛽️ @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @honeystinger 🧇, @drinklmnt, @bpnsupps endopump, flight, creatine, 🍌 #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
Is it bad that I’m already ready for the week to be over and it’s barely started? Probably not a great sign, but I’ve gotta roll with it. At least it’s a short work week. Had a nice little swim this morning. Realized that I probably can/should be pushing myself a bit harder on my swim intervals. I am pretty bad at pacing in the water and always seem to hold back some for fear of the scaries. Y’all know I like to panic in the water (although, it’s pretty much only in open water now). Chest and biceps followed the swim. Felt good. Today, I’m thankful for a strong body to be able to push through even when I don’t want to. I feel like these workouts have been a real sanctuary for me mentally and emotionally … the last year or so in particular. No matter what is going on in my life, these moments to myself help me stay sane and press through.

Sunday Runday! I was not ready to face the 30mph wind gusts this morning but I went into autopilot and my body got moving before my mind could catch up and talk myself out of running. I had to run 1:40-2:00 all in Z2. That wind was brutal and I had pull way back to stay in Z2. Black dog and I trudged along the trail. I ran into a friend from the pool 4-5 times. Got to chat with him for a few minutes. Found out his son has cancer. So very sad. Nothing more to report. Just doing the work. ⛽️ @honeystinger 🧇, @maurten_official drink mix 160, @bpnsupps Go Gels, @snap_supplements nitric oxide #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
This was a rough ride that I handled surprisingly well. We chose to ride today because wind gusts would ONLY be up to 25mph vs tomorrow’s 30mph gusts. But that meant riding in cooler temps. Three of launched and within the first few minutes, my friend reported that his Di2 wouldn’t shift and he was stuck in one gear. After we fiddled with it for a bit, he decided to just go home and hop on the trainer while the remaining 2 of us did the route. No matter which direction we went, it seemed like the wind was punching us in the face. But even so, I felt good throughout. I didn’t enjoy having to go up inclines into a headwind but it builds character, right? Maybe I’m just getting used to it since it’s been so windy the last month or so. Or maybe I felt strong because I actually ate lunch before heading out. We did a shorter, less hilly route because of the wind. We will conquer the categorized climb we were originally planning to do another day. 😬 No regrets though. Soon as I got cleaned up, I realized I forgot to do my brick run 👎 Oh well. ⛽️ @honeystinger 🧇, @ketoneiq, @snap_supplements nitric oxide, @maurten_official drink mix 160, @lmnt, @bpnsupps G.1.M Sport #howcatrolls #fitness #enduranceathlete #mindovermatter #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #runner #teambpn #bpnsupps #pickyambadassador #instarunners #teamroadid #runningcommunity #morningrun #morningworkout #cycling #cyclinglife #zwift #fluxcollective #goonemore #swim #swimming #goonemore #mymottiv #madetoadapt #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #fueledbythefeed #feedambassador
A day off work means sleeping in and taking my time. I am the queen of dawdling so I love mornings like this. Took my time getting to the pool. Did my swim without rushing. Lots of 200s today at varying intensities. Kinda loved it. Dawdled a bit more after I got home. Did a shoulder workout that felt really hard …. likely due to the swim. Gave black dog some love. Now to clean up and spend the afternoon with baby girl.
