Friday Happy Hour

Date Night Friday is one of those days when most normal working people grab a beer or socialize after work. Not me. My big date tonight was with my bike and my indoor trainer. I need to get a life. I think I sweat five pounds. It was a killer 2 hour bike workout, followed by a 4 mile run. Yep, welcome to the world of ironman training in the waning weeks before the big race.

Could this be real? Did I really clock 47 miles on my Cat Eye? Why does it seem like you go faster indoors than out in the elements? I mean, I did PLENTY of grueling intervals tonight. But trust me, if I was riding outdoors, I doubt I'd do 47...maybe more like 40?? Shake It This was my post workout dinner, since it is late and I don't like eating big meals before I get my beauty sleep. Leftover cherries and a protein shake. I love that individual smoother blender. A must have for athletic enthusiasts who don't want the hassle of taking out the big blender. Pinkgurugal's yummy and delicious, guilt-free shake 1 scoop strawberry flavored pure whey protein 1 cup non fat plain yogurt 1 cup lowfat soymilk 10-15 cubes of ice a dash of splenda for flavor

Throw contents into mini blender. Push button for 30 seconds. Open lid. Drink Fridgeworthy

A big thanks to my surrogate little sister and petsitter extraordinare Jessica for stocking the tri commune fridge with food and beer. I hate grocery shopping. I think I would go hungry if Jessica wasn't in my life. Or drink shakes all day. Cheers and happy training! "You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough.
