GFTW 26: Here we go Bricks!

No... the pic above isn't exactly what a brick workout entails: lifting your bike for kicks after your run. Instead, I had just finished my run, after a ~2.5 hr bike ride (which is a brick workout), and I just felt content about it all. About the fact I'm running again. About riding a new course solo. About it being FREAKIN' gorgeous at Stinson Beach. I had to take a shot, so I thought posing with my bike just seemed cool. I lifted the bike in brick triumph!;-)

And speaking of bricks, here's what I've built for my Goals for the Week:

Athlete: During my bricks this week, do what I'll be doing/wearing for my actual transitions. That includes hair in ponytails like race day, running off the bike in my bike/tri clothes (instead of changing into running gear like the pic above) and having everything ready/set up like a transition.

Mom: Sign kids up for 1 week of swim lessons


Health: Follow my daily intakes from Nutrition Gal, and to make it specific and realistic, anytime I feel like I want to snack on the kids snacks (chips, goldfish, etc) pack carrots/veggies for me. Just make sure I have a boat load of veggies to snack on in those moments. I normally wouldn't care so much, but I owe it to myself with Vineman ~3 wks away to stick to my intakes as much as possible. 


Personal Growth: Practice wanting more for others than I want for myself. Meditate on this for a minute or two in the am, and practice it in situations where I find myself thinking otherwise.


As always, I write these goals down on a bookmark I keep in my handy dandy organizer and attempt to review them each morning as a suck down the coffee! So that's what's on my radar for the week. Now my question to you: what do you have planned in your neck of the woods? Please share!
